About Bristol Tower
Developed by Ugo Colombo · Designed by Luis Revuelta
Bristol Tower’s position at the southern end of Brickell Ave, near the Rickenbacker Causeway approach, puts it in a quieter, lower-density stretch than the towers clustered around the financial core.
Bristol Tower was developed by Ugo Colombo and designed by Luis Revuelta — the same pairing behind Brickell Flatiron decades later. Completed in 1993, the 40-story tower has 146 residences, most with 270-degree views across Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, and Key Biscayne.
What Carlos Says
Bristol Tower's southern-Brickell location and larger floor plans appeal to buyers who want more space per dollar than newer towers offer, and who don't mind being a short drive rather than a walk from the core office district. It's a quieter, less dense stretch of Brickell Ave than the financial-district end.
Building Fees & Assessments
MLS listings for Bristol Tower have shown a median association fee around $1.40/sqft/month -- shown per square foot, not as a flat dollar figure, since that's comparable across unit sizes rather than skewed by whichever units happen to be listed right now. This is a point-in-time reference, not a live figure, and can change over time. Confirm the current fee for a specific unit before making an offer.
Bristol Tower is 33+ years old, which puts it within Florida's Milestone Inspection requirement (SB 4-D, post-Surfside law covering condo/co-op buildings 3+ stories, coastal buildings inspected at 25 years and every 10 years after). Request the building's most recent milestone inspection report, structural integrity reserve study (SIRS), and reserve fund status before purchasing -- these determine whether a special assessment is likely.
Specific reserve fund balances, pending special assessments, and financial statements aren't public MLS data -- request them directly from the condo association or your agent before making an offer.
Rental Potential
See the live "Monthly rental from" figure above for Bristol Tower's current lowest asking rent, and the market snapshot's closed-lease count and median rent for actual rental demand over the trailing 12 months -- both update automatically, unlike a number written here. Specific rental rules -- minimum lease term, rentals allowed per year, and whether short-term/Airbnb-style rentals are permitted -- are set by the condo association and vary by building. Verify current rental restrictions directly with the association before buying as an investment.
