Miami · Brickell · bayfront · STR-friendly
A 2004 bayfront tower in Brickell’s financial core — short-term-rental friendly, with units managed in-building by Property Management Brickell, so short-stay income here is documented rather than projected. The go-to for a levered STR 1-bed.
From the managed portfolio — not a projection
Property Management Brickell, our affiliated management company, operates several short-term-rental units in The Club at Brickell Bay. This is the actual gross booking income for its best-performing unit over the trailing twelve months — a 2-bedroom, 1,105 sf plan that ran 71.5% occupancy at a $487 average daily rate across 261 booked nights. A real number taken from its management statements, not an AirDNA estimate or a market average. (Unit identity withheld; ask Steve for the underlying statement.)

The evidence
Every closed 1-bed sale at The Club from August 2021 to July 2026 — 135 transactions straight from the MLS. Not projections, not averages borrowed from Brickell at large: this building only.
* 2021 covers Aug–Dec and 2026 covers Feb–Jul; both are partial years, so their sale counts are not full-year figures. Rates of sale are stated per month to keep the comparison fair.
The building’s most common 1-bed layout. These are the comps an appraiser will reach for — same plan, same building, last 18 months.
| Unit | Floor | Closed | Price | $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #2014 | 20 | May 2026 | $483,000 | $590 |
| #3314 | 33 | May 2026 | $442,500 | $541 |
| #2514 | 25 | Feb 2026 | $410,000 | $501 |
| #3414 | 34 | Oct 2025 | $420,000 | $513 |
| #2112 | 21 | Aug 2025 | $450,000 | $550 |
| #2314 | 23 | Jul 2025 | $460,000 | $562 |
| #2214 | 22 | May 2025 | $438,200 | $536 |
Values ran from $461/sf in 2021 to a $623 peak in 2023, then gave back 12.5%. But the last twelve months moved just −0.9%. This is a market that has found a level, not one still falling.
2026 is closing 3.2 sales a month against 1.5 in 2025 — more than double the pace. Buyers came back once the price was right. A market that clears is healthier than one holding a number nobody transacts at.
Monthly dues went from $584 to $705 (+21%) as Florida’s post-Surfside reserve rules bit. Roughly $120/month of extra carry is what repriced these units. Underwrite the carry, not just the sticker.
Since 2024 each floor is worth about +$0.68/sf — roughly $550 a floor on an 818 sf unit. A 34th floor traded under a 20th this year. Altitude is a nightly-rate and lifestyle argument here; it is not a resale premium.
16 of 19 closings in 2026 landed below asking, a median 4.1% under — the widest gap in five years, and up every single year since 2022. Sellers here negotiate.
The entry is roughly 12% cheaper than 2023 and the pace says the floor is in. Price the HOA into your model from day one, don’t pay up for altitude, and expect to close under ask. That is the whole playbook in this building right now.
The evidence, part two
The building’s larger floorplans, same treatment as the 1-beds: every closed sale, not a curated set. The 2-bed sample is deep (35 closings); the 3-bed sample is thin (13) and is presented with that caveat front and center.
35 closed sales, 2021–2026 — the same floorplan run at The Club #2423 and #1901.
2021 rests on a single closing and 2024 on five over four months; both are thin. 2026 is year-to-date (Jan–Jul). Treat 2021 and 2024 as directional, not trend-setting.
| Unit | Floor | Closed | Price | $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #3123 | 31 | Jul 2026 | $629,000 | $569 |
| #3923 | 39 | Jun 2026 | $730,000 | $661 |
| #1901 | 19 | May 2026 | $680,000 | $615 |
| #1723 | 17 | Feb 2026 | $655,000 | $593 |
| #3501 | 35 | Feb 2026 | $682,500 | $618 |
| #2501 | 25 | Dec 2025 | $710,000 | $643 |
| #2923 | 29 | Aug 2025 | $730,000 | $661 |
Read this one with caution. Only 13 closings in five years, including a full year (2023) with none at all — too thin for a year-by-year trend line. Below is every closing, not a summary.
| Unit | Floor | Closed | Price | $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #3524 | 35 | Jul 2026 | $775,000 | $629 |
| #2202 | 22 | May 2026 | $1,021,000 | $829 |
| #2424 | 24 | Mar 2026 | $732,000 | $594 |
| #3902 | 39 | Oct 2025 | $833,250 | $676 |
| #3102 | 31 | Aug 2025 | $775,000 | $629 |
| #3824 | 38 | Feb 2025 | $840,000 | $682 |
| #3024 | 30 | Nov 2024 | $815,000 | $662 |
Trailing-12-month median: $775,000 · $629/sf (n=5). One of those five — #2202, May 2026 — closed at $829/sf, well above the other four ($594–$682/sf); likely a premium renovation or view, and the reason to anchor on the median rather than an average. No closings at all in 2023.
2-beds and 3-beds are down roughly 22% and 16% off their peaks — steeper than the 1-bed’s 12.5%. Bigger units carry bigger HOA and tax loads, and that’s exactly what the post-Surfside reserve increases hit hardest.
2026 closings on the 2BR plan landed 6.2% under asking — wider than the 1-bed’s 4.1% and the widest of any unit type here. Price a first offer accordingly.
Same finding as the 1-beds: since 2024 the per-floor premium on the 2BR plan is essentially flat (−$0.39/sf). Don’t pay up for altitude expecting it back at resale.
13 closings in five years, with a dead year in 2023 and one clear outlier in 2026. If you’re pricing a 3BR here, ask for the underlying listing photos on any single comp before you lean on it.
Entry is 16–22% below peak, buyers are closing meaningfully under ask, and altitude is a view argument, not a pricing one. The 3-bedroom market is thin enough that a patient buyer sets the price, not the other way around.
