Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office Inks New 50,000-SF Lease

River Landing Shops & Residences announced a nearly 50,000-square-foot lease with Miami-Dade County on behalf of the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. The Offices of State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle will occupy an entire floor at the recently opened mixed-use development on the Miami River just west of Downtown Miami.

In addition to restaurants, retail and market rate apartments, River Landing offers 135,000 square feet of Class A office space on the water. The 20-year, 49,379-square-foot lease will consume nearly one-third of the space at the Offices at River Landing, located at 1400 NW North River Drive.

“We are beginning to see a demand for office space that goes beyond our supply,” said Andrew Hellinger, co-principal with Urban-X Group, the developer of River Landing. “We are very grateful to our elected officials because they are working hard to attract companies to Miami and create demand for office space. We all benefit from public policies that fuel job growth and boost our local economy.”

The State Attorney’s Office, which will be relocating from Civic Park Plaza at 1469 NW 13th Terrace, serves and protects Miami-Dade residents by prosecuting felony and misdemeanor crimes that occur within its jurisdiction. This is the largest prosecutor’s office in Florida and the fourth largest in the United States with 1,200 employees.

“This was the culmination of many years of hard work by the County Mayor’s Office, County Commission, and the County’s Internal Services Department,” Hellinger added. “They assisted the state attorney in finding suitable office space while staying within the courthouse district. Retaining the law firm in the district highlights River Landing’s economic impact on the area.”

River Landing is an 8.14-acre mixed-use development along the vibrant Miami River. The 2.5-million-square-foot River Landing consists of approximately 360,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, 135,000 square feet of office, 528 market-rate apartments, more than 2,000 parking spaces and a landscaped Riverwalk.

River Landing is home to national and regional retailers and restaurants including Publix Supermarkets, Ross Dress For Less, Burlington Stores, Hobby Lobby, Five Below, Chase Bank, AT&T, Planet Fitness, Old Navy, Ulta Beauty, Sapphire Prive Med Spa, Pediatric Dental Center, Aspen Dental, Chick-fil-A, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, Ficelle Boulangerie & Pâtisserie, Tanuki, and more.

River Landing is close to two Metrorail stations and the rapid transit system that connects all the major hospitals and research centers to Downtown Miami, East Kendall and Hialeah as well as the Tri-Rail, a commuter rail line linking Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. River Landing is also served by Miami’s Trolley system and is located at the crossroads of Miami-Dade’s main thoroughfares: Interstate 95 and State Road 836.

The office tower at River Landing is a LEED certified office building and, in case of an emergency, it will provide a full-service commercial generator to keep the building operating without interruption.
