- MyBrickell: From 2012 to 2014 a smaller building named myBrickell was built directly to the west of 500 Brickell, on the same lot. It has no parking built in, but is connected to the pedestal of 500 Brickell via skybridge. It was the first high-rise building built in Miami after the Great Recession, and sold out in 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2014/05/13/related-group-sells-out-mybrickell-56m-in-sales.html|title=Related Group sells out MyBrickell, $56M in sales|work=South Florida Business Journal|date=May 13, 2014|author=Bandell, Brian|access-date=October 23, 2014}}
Design
500 Brickell was originally designed to emulate a giant arch.{{cite web|url=http://www.arquitectonica.com/|title=500 Brickell|access-date=2007-09-08|publisher=Arquitectonica| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070824085219/http://www.arquitectonica.com/| archive-date= 24 August 2007 | url-status=live}} Both towers are connected by a 10-story base, and the top floors of the two towers are also connected by a large white roof. The roof was designed with a circular hole to direct light into the courtyard formed between the two buildings, where a large pool is located.
