Brickell City Centre will offer a unique vertical shopping experience, a successful shopping model common in international cities and well-recognized by global travelers.

"Brickell City Centre provides a unique retail offering to an underserved international destination that caters to the part-time resident, visitor market and growing business community," said Debora Overholt, senior retail director at Swire Properties. "There's no denying the need for shopping, dining and entertainment options in one of Miami's densest areas."

"This curated mix of tenants meets the diverse demand of our visiting, local and daytime business customers and will secure Brickell's new role as a world-class flagship destination for successful global luxury brands," said Courtney Lord, vice president of leasing for Whitman Family Development.

"We are proud to be bringing onboard these new international brands, many of which have experienced overwhelming success abroad and see Miami as the perfect entry city for their North American debut," said Sharon Polonia, executive vice president of leasing at Simon.

The shopping center will seamlessly connect with Miami's key transportation nodes. Swire Properties is incorporating a Miami Metromover stop that exits directly into the shopping center's third floor to allow easy and convenient access. The shopping center will ease vehicle movement with an expansive two-story underground carpark that traverses streets in the lower level.

The newly revealed brands are fifth in a series of retail announcements for the $1.05 billion mixed-use project. Luxury brands Valentino and Chopard were announced earlier this summer followed by contemporary brands Lululemon, Harmont & Blaine, Cole Haan, Illesteva and OndadeMar, and eateries Pubbelly Sushi, Pasion del Cielo, Quinto La Huella and Sugar.
