Tequesta Point Condo Real Estate on Brickell Key
Serenity set apart from Downtown Miami by its own gated
entry and private island ambiance, the exclusive
residential enclave of Tequesta Point on Brickell Key is
linked to the city’s abundant cultural and commercial
attractions – mere moments away – by a short scenic
causeway. Tequesta Point is conceived in every exquisite
detail to create a great residential tradition on the
bay. Winding up the private drive to Tequesta Point,
poised at Brickell Key’s easternmost tip, the lush
landscaping and classical proportions of the open plazas
evoke a special sense of place – and arrival.
The
developer is Swire Group of Hong Kong – London – a
global company with a two hundred year history of
successful international enterprise. Swire’s strict
adherence to a unique master plan for Brickell Key has
surrounded Tequesta Point in a wealth of island
amenities – shops, restaurants, waterfront promenades.
Two Tequesta Point named in honor of the American Indian
tribe found by Florida’s early Spanish explorers at the
mouth of the Miami River, Tequesta Point was also
inspired by international artist Manuel Carbonell’s
series of Tequesta Indian sculptures.
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
island 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.
