Costa Bella sits on the water at 1450 Brickell Bay Dr, a 21-floor tower with 230 residences completed in 1977. FEMA maps the site in flood zone VE, a coastal high hazard area with a 1% yearly chance of flooding with storm waves, where lenders require flood insurance for federally backed or federally regulated mortgages. It is in Miami-Dade hurricane evacuation zone B, and the lowest street beside the building is 1.5 ft above the highest tide predicted for 2026 at Virginia Key.
The Financial District Metromover Station is 390 m away in a straight line, and the Car-Free Index is 76. The nearest Publix is 720 m away. There are 12 active tower construction sites within 1 km, 3 of them within 500 m. Construction nearby can bring noise and traffic while it lasts, and new towers can change views.
On the 2025 tax roll, 41% of units carry a homestead exemption and 23% are owned by a company or trust. The Miami-Dade Clerk recorded 9 resale deeds in the 12 months to October 21, 2026. The financeability tier is good, with an index of 72 of 100, meaning regulated lenders have financed purchases here in the last two years.
