Aon Inks 19,000 SF Brickell Office Lease Deal

CBRE has arranged a new 18,634-square-foot office lease at 701 Brickell Avenue on behalf of Aon (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm.

Aon plans to begin construction on its new space in the second quarter of 2022 and will occupy the 32^nd floor of the building in the first quarter of 2023. The space will feature top of the line HVAC in compliance with COVID regulations; digitally enhanced conference rooms; and the ability to double the number of offices.

“Aon is in the business of better decisions. We believe that businesses thrive when the communities they serve and the people they employ also flourish. Moving to this new space will provide enhanced flexibility and digital capabilities for both our colleagues and clients,” said Brian Bark, head of Aon’s Miami office. “This new, modern workspace will also allow us to reduce our carbon footprint and strengthen our presence in the Miami area and community.”

Scott Goldstein, Keith Edelman and John Nugent with CBRE represented Aon in the lease negotiations. The landlord is TIAA.

“We were able to locate and secure one of the few remaining full-floor spaces in one of the largest, stand-alone towers in the area,” said Scott Goldstein, a Senior Vice President at CBRE. “Brickell Avenue is a highly coveted location in the center of the Miami business community, attracting the best restaurants, shops, and upscale amenities to create a vibrant, 24-hour business advantage. The building renovations and amenities combined with the unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay create a sophisticated, functional space to serve clients at the highest level.”

Situated on the north end of Brickell and directly on the water, the building provides direct access to downtown, the airport, and Interstate 95. The 33-story Class A building features a newly renovated lobby, fitness center, full-service beauty salon, full-service bank and ATM, dry cleaner, florist, café, and 24-hour state-of-the-art security.
