Val service, gym and pool facility and the bakery downstairs (with in-unit delivery!) make up a very comfortable living right in downtown. Whole Foods is a 1-mile walk which is amazing. Mary Brickell village is right behind the building and there are many great restaurants there for any type of cuisine and price-range. Brickell City center should be completed around mid-2017 and will have a luxury movie theater, among other cool things. Movie theatre is really the only thing that's missing from Brickell, IMHO. I was looking for a couple of months and so happy I picked this place. Highly recommend!

Giving this place a tentative 4 stars. It's not in the luxury category of Jade or Santa Maria but,…read moreoverall, a pretty good building with a few kinks. The good: great location; front desk staff, security, and management are excellent and helpful. Reasonably priced. On site maintenance will change your AC air filter and light bulbs for a small fee (not all buildings permit this). Quick approval process (renters). Fairly large and decent layouts with pretty good views from units facing Brickell Ave and the bay; Exit/entrance from, both, Brickell Ave and South Miami Avenue; good restaurant options attached to the building and nearby. The negatives: you can sometimes hear your neighbors walking above you (especially if they wear heels), I can hear the music / bass from my neighbor one floor below me and 1 unit over (though management usually responds to and handles noise complaints ); the shower water pressure can be low during busy/heavy use times; constant and annoying "ping" sounds coming through both bathroom ceiling vents; the sun is blocked mid afternoon for 1-2 hours at the pool area by the building (Bond) next door unless one moves to an extreme, very limited corner of the sun deck; television served only by DirecTV, no cable options--which means expect outages during rainstorms. Mixed age group with families, young professionals, and older people. I am renting now but might consider buying elsewhere depending upon unit and its condition.

I live here and I'm also a…read morerealtor, I specialize in high end residential condos like Echo and I can truly say there is nothing in Brickell like it. The building that I would say comes closest is Zaha Hadid's 1000 Museum, which is a much higher price point! Valet, front desk, concierge, and management are all super friendly and always available. I had some issues with my key fob and the app early on, and they were quick to resolve the situation. I'm very impressed with how clean the building is kept and how they have managed to staff the building with such friendly and accommodating people. I would highly recommend purchasing or renting at Echo. Contact me directly at alexa@conciergebrokers.com or @alexa_realestate on instagram, I'm happy to help you find the perfect unit at Echo or anywhere else nearby!

It is the most poorly managed slum I have ever had the misfortune of living in. Units are way overpriced. The halls smell like cheap laundry soap. Avoid this building at all costs. Horrific experience.

Not only are the amenities vastly superior to the nearby high rises- the staff is actually extremely friendly! Have you seen that gym? It made me want to work out. I was having an issue with the Air Conditioning (turns out I was pressing the wrong button) so I contacted the Community Manager to see if they could send someone since I thought it was broken. Deisy was right on the ball! In two seconds, there was someone knocking on the door to help me out. Deisy even returned my call to make sure everything was back up and running. Once I told her I was house-sitting, she offered me a tour of the building and honestly really made me feel welcome. She is perfect for the job. Her attention to detail was flawlessly executed. Now I know why my girl has renewed her lease here twice. The entire outdoor layout exudes a tranquil and relaxing vibe but is ample enough for groups to gather by the pool without being in the way of other residents. Walking down to the edge and overlooking the bay is truly breathtaking. The units are equipped with shiny new appliances and furnishings making it the top residential leasing high rises in the area.The location is perfect since it's situated between Wynwood and the Design District. I fell in love with the apartment, amenities, and service provided to the residents. I was kind of bummed out when my friend came back from vacation but still fortunate I can come visit whenever. This place is a gem. Thank you Deisy, you make me believe in the magic of leasing apartments again.

With now less amenities in the building, and the same rent, the building manager (Andrea) justifies the expenses by saying "you're not paying for the pool". Which, as a tenant for 2 years now, is a big bummer to here from building management. If you want a building with a pool, I would caution living here as this was taken away and tenants do not know when (or if) it will be available again. For people looking for an apartment in Miami: a pool is a *MUST* to deal with the heat. If I get an update on pool timing I'll update this post. If it's not updated, it's safe to assume tenants have not been updated.

However the building appears to be "lipstick on a pig" with continued issues 1) there is a leak in the parking garage under the pool deck, this occurs when it rains, the leak is in between 2 large slabs of concrete 2) the passenger elevators have major issues and may require replacement based on a conversation I had with a Thyssenkrupp who was on-site for a repair, apparently there is an issue with the cables (who will pay for this...?) 3) in the past there have been water shutdowns, AC shutdowns and as of today "emergency electrical issues". This is a Related Group project so not surprisingly issues exist. If one is considering purchasing...buyer beware.

The garage at Brickell Heights is a valet garage open to the public. As such outside cars are…read moreroutinely parked by the Valet service. This rush of parking activity of non resident cars causes dings/damage occurs to resident's cars that building insurance does not cover. And it creates a backlog of cars (and people) as the driveway is very narrow and the gate system to the garages do not work consistently. You'll also find non residents/strangers sitting in front of the building that are there to party or return after partying in the Village to drop off/pick up their cars. Also the elevator access finger print system requires at least 3-5 frustrating/rushed attempts before it recognizes your fingerprint. And that finger print recognition device is only on one side of each elevator - this creates stressful crowding/confusion amongst residents in the small elevators. Also, rental rules got tighter but if you see people with luggage they are probably a short term AirBnB rental. Yet management and coop board members scrutinize and intimidate long residents/owners.

We came early to get the headphones, got escorted along with others to the metromover station, jammed to amazing music, rode the mover around, stopped at a few stations to dance and check out local musicians playing instruments, and having fun. We felt safe because there were security guards with us. That was a great night! We had so much fun. We decided to come back again for more events. We were here for the Lazy Brunch BQ event and had fun. This place is outdoors, pet friendly, and full of locals. The food from Coyo was overpriced but good. I had the chicken burrito bowl $10. The music is great, the energy is hype, and good vibe. We brought our own blankets to lay down on the floor and sit on.

This is where I spent Sunday afternoon, for their monthly "Lazy Brunch BQ". With the vibe of the summer block parties popularized in "Summertime" and "Who Do Ya Love" , I was around fellow young creatives playing Jenga, Cornhole and jamming out to a mix of dirty blues and funky soul with a dab of 80s party classics. Other than a certain "beer" for which I have no love for whose name begins with an O, drinks were on point. My libation was the "Shake And Bake", a freshly prepared mix of pineapple mix and Sailor Jerry spiced run..smooth enough for a light, Sunday Funday buzz. Continuing the pineapple theme, I munched on two chicken tacos al pastor from Coyo Taco (food rehab after last night's late night chain "Mexican") and their awesome black refried beans. Speaking of Jenga, I was able to put my degree to good use with a lot of transfer girders to make a fairly tall would building, all the while collaborating with someone who called herself a Jenga mistress! Back to the food, I also enjoyed the spicy elote (corn on the cob) from Coyo. Their dry rub BBQ ribs were pretty meaty, but next time I'll just add more sauce. Can we keep this sweet open courtyard and just have them build the condo around it?
