About Icon Brickell II
Developed by Kor Hotel Group & The Related Group · Designed by Arquitectonica (lobby/interiors: Philippe Starck)
Icon Brickell II rounds out the residential half of the three-tower Icon Brickell complex (the third tower is largely hotel/serviced units), with a unit mix geared toward buyers who want more than a studio.
Icon Brickell II (the South Tower, 495 Brickell Ave) was developed through a joint venture between Kor Hotel Group and The Related Group, designed by Arquitectonica with Philippe Starck’s interiors, and delivered in 2009 with 561 residences across 57 floors.
What Carlos Says
If you want the Icon Brickell design and amenity package but need more than a studio or 1-bed, Icon II's unit mix fits better than Icon I's. It trades at a modest premium over its twin tower for that reason. Same caveat as Icon I: ask about the building's assessment/reserve history given its age.
Building Fees & Assessments
MLS listings for Icon Brickell II have shown a median association fee around $1.25/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.
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 Icon Brickell II'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.
