The Brickell World Plaza, also known as 600 Brickell, and formerly known as the Brickell Financial Center, is an office skyscraper in Miami, Florida, United States in the Downtown neighborhood and financial district of Brickell at 600 Brickell Avenue. The former Brickell Financial Centre Phase I, the Brickell World Plaza, is a skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in Miami. 600 Brickell is located between the sixth Street and seventh Street Metromover stations. The building contains of leasable floor space, an eleven-story parking garage with 927 spaces, and a ground level public plaza. History The 40-story building topped out in early 2009, but construction was suspended, or greatly slowed, as the building was still not completed over two years later as of March 2011. The building lost an anchor tenant, a law firm with a $58 million, 10.5-year lease for 15 percent of the building (115,000 sq ft), in early 2009. With the new name of Brickell World Plaza, the building had a scheduled opening date of August 2011.

Early in 2011, 600 Brickell got a $130 million construction mortgage loan from Los Angeles-based Canyon Capital Reality Advisors that would fund the rest of the construction. This was one of the largest loans issued in the city of Miami since the real estate crisis. When 600 Brickell came online in August–September 2011, it increased Miami's downtown office vacancy to nearly 25%, and Class A Brickell vacancy to over 30%. The Foram Group hired Jones Lang LaSalle, led by veteran brokers Glenn Gregory and Noël Steinfeld, to handle leasing for the nearly building. Gregory and Steinfeld said a full-court press to land tenants is finally underway. Shortly before Foram hired Jones Lang, the developer signed a pair of new-to-market tenants — New York-based lender Doral Money and Irvine, California-based mediation and arbitration services firm JAMS — to occupy a combined at the building. Gregory and Steinfeld have said that they were discussing
