The Brickell Bayview Center, also known as the Brickell City Tower, is a tall building, called a skyscraper, located in Miami, Florida. You can find it in the Brickell area, which is a busy financial district. This building stands about 330 feet (100 meters) tall and has 30 floors. It was finished in 1986.
When it was built, the Brickell Bayview Center had cool glass walls from top to bottom. At that time, it was one of the few tall buildings on the western side of Brickell. The area mostly had office towers and smaller, older homes.

A Changing Neighborhood
Over the years, the Brickell area grew a lot. There were two big building booms, one in the 2000s and another in the 2010s. Because of this, many new, taller buildings were built around the Brickell Bayview Center.
New Neighbors
For example, the Solitair Brickell building was built nearby. The Brickell Heights building went up right next to it on the east side. Also, the Nine at Mary Brickell Village was built directly to the south. Even the area to the west, called West Brickell, saw many new mid-rise buildings. This means the Brickell Bayview Center, which once stood out, is now surrounded by much taller structures.
Location and Names
The Brickell Bayview Center is very easy to reach by public transport. It's right next to the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover stations. These are train systems that help people get around Miami.
The Chase Building
The building is also known as the Chase Building. This is because Chase Bank is a main tenant and has a branch on the ground floor. It's common for big companies to have their name on a building if they rent a lot of space there.
Once Tall, Now Smaller
When it was completed in 1986, the Brickell Bayview Center was one of the tallest buildings in Miami. However, by 2017, so many new skyscrapers had been built that it wasn't even in the top 100 tallest buildings anymore!
Building Sales
The building has been sold a couple of times. In 2013, it was sold for about US$70 million. Then, in October 2018, it was sold again for a higher price of US$117.25 million. The buyer was a real estate company connected to the New York Life Insurance Company.
