The history of Brickell Key can be traced to 1896, when Henry Flagler had a 9-foot deep channel dug from the mouth of the Miami River. In the process, Mr. Flagler created an off-shore property comprised of two small
islands. In 1943, an investor, Edward N. Claughton, Sr. acquired the islands and eventually purchased additional bay bottom land to combine them to a 44-acre triangle-shaped tract separated from the mansions of Miami's fashionable Brickell Avenue by only a few hundred
feet of water.
In the late 1970's, Swire Properties purchased most of the Brickell key property from the
Claughtons, and began to put into place a master plan that would ultimately transform it into one of the most unique island communities in the
world by the name Brickell Key. |
