Transwestern’s South Florida office announced the signing of 40,519 square feet of lease renewals and expansions to legal tenants at Miami Tower, the iconic Class “A” high-rise office located at 100 S.E. 2nd Street.
Since being awarded the asset in January 2011, Transwestern has completed to date over 120,000 square feet of transactions. This momentum secured through new deals and expansions has brought the building’s occupancy up well above the CBD market average of 77.1 percent, with Miami Tower trending towards 90 percent.
“Over the past year, we have secured expansions with more than 80 percent of the tenants up for renewals,” said Gordon Messinger, Vice President with Transwestern, a key member of the leasing team for Miami Tower. “With the stabilization of the market, we believe the first half of 2012 will continue strong as national and regional businesses look to secure office space that accommodates short and long-term growth plans.”
