Pino & Co. Close Nearly 500,000 SF In 60 Days

State Street Realty, a Miami-based brokerage and advisory firm, had a very active August and September, closing over 489,000 square feet of office and industrial sale and lease transactions valued over $28,000,000.
State Street Realty President George Pino, SIOR, RPA, Senior Vice President Ed Lyden and Senior Associate Jesus Cortes working on behalf of Landlord’s Prologis and various other clients completed the transactions together in the past 60 days.
According to Pino, “The high level of activity is indicative of a tightening industrial market.  We expect to continue to see national and international investors seeking opportunities to acquire and build industrial properties in the region as the demand continues to exceed the available supply.  Expansion of the Panama Canal and infrastructure improvement projects at the Port of Miami and Miami International Airport will be the prime drivers of growth in this market. The Port of Miami plans on having all the infrastructure upgrades completed by Q2 2015, in sync with the completion of the Panama Canal.”
