Brickell Avenue is a north–south road that is part of U.S. Route 1, in Miami, Florida, just south of the Miami River.[3] North of the Brickell Avenue Bridge, U.S. Route 1 is known as Biscayne Boulevard. Brickell Avenue is the main road through the Brickell financial district of Downtown Miami and is considered the Park Avenue of Florida.[citation needed] Brickell Avenue is lined with high-rise office buildings and residential condominiums, as well as many banks and restaurants. It is also famed for "Millionaire Row's" home to a cluster of Miami's most expensive residences.
It is a grid plan main north–south thoroughfare through the south part of Miami's central business district.

By the time the railroad arrived in 1896, spurred in part by the Brickells' gift of land to Henry Flagler, the Brickells had already paved a rock road, known as the Coconut Grove Trail, through their property. In 1898, the trail became a 145 foot wide roadway called Brickell Avenue and extended from the Miami River to Broadway (15th Road).
