After all, more than 5.3 million square feet of office space \u2013 the majority of it Class A \u2013 is slated to be built throughout the tri-county region, according to market reports from Colliers International.<\/p>\n<p>Not likely say most real estate insiders. That\u2019s because the demand for Class A office remains quite strong, especially among out-of-state companies that continue to enter the South Florida market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been very fortunate that people want to come down here [and] that people continue to move down here,\u201d said Steven Hurwitz, JLL\u2019s managing director and agency lead for South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s that flow of wealth, and new residents, that has allowed our market and other metro areas in the Sunshine State to thrive despite the high interest rates, inflation and slowed lending that has stymied other office markets across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>And that has a direct effect on offices, said John Boyd, Jr., principal of The Boyd Co., a Boca Raton-based corporation relocation firm. Those new residents include job-creating executives and young professionals who don\u2019t mind working in the office \u2013 if the offices are nice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Florida continues to defy gravity,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cThere is still a steady demand for new office space.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Office headwinds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t to say that South Florida\u2019s office market hasn\u2019t taken some knocks.<\/p>\n<p>Hurwitz of JLL said there\u2019s been a 20% year-over-year drop in \u201cdeal flow\u201d, though he insists that South Florida\u2019s office market is still far healthier than it was prior to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of [companies] are still moving down here, though it is not the same amount of tenants as last year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/our-team\/bert-checa\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-9262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Headshot_Bert-Checa-1-421x512.png\" alt=\"Bert Checa, Principal with Lee &amp; Associates South Florida Office Landlord Agency and Tenant Rep\" width=\"100\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Headshot_Bert-Checa-1-421x512.png 421w, https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/10\/Headshot_Bert-Checa-1.png 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>Office rents, meanwhile, continue to climb, but not as much as before, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/our-team\/bert-checa\/\"><strong>Bert Checa<\/strong><\/a>, a principal of Lee &amp; Associates\u2019 South Florida office. In his opinion, office rents have \u201cpeaked at this point\u201d as the flood of new companies flowing to South Florida slows to a trickle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat landlords are trying to do is switch gears and they\u2019re trying to renew as many tenants as possible,\u201d Checa said. Those concessions include offering tenants at least one month of free rent per year, he added.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, many office tenants have shrunk their space to cut expenses and adapt to new hybrid working patterns where staff works at least part of the week remotely.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly true in Miami-Dade County where office rents have climbed 40% since the onset of the pandemic to an average of $57.74 per square foot in the third quarter of 2023, states a report from brokerage Avison Young. As of Q3, there was just under one million square feet of Miami-Dade office space on the market for sublease, said Donna Abood, principal of Avison Young\u2019s Miami office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a 32.4% increase, year over year,\u201d Abood said. \u201cThis substantial increase in sublease space is a direct impact of the economic slowdown on corporate revenue, and the desire of these companies to reduce their overhead costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the classier the office, the higher the rent.<\/p>\n<p>The average rent for a Class A office in Miami-Dade in Q3 was $65.17 per square foot, Avison Young stated. In Broward, where the average listed office rent was $38.25 per square foot, premium \u201ctrophy\u201d space averaged $65.17 per square foot. In Palm Beach County, where office asking rates were $51.71 per square foot, trophy property rents averaged $130.97 per square foot.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Crime, taxes and Class A<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/our-team\/matthew-katzen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7835 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Website-Headshot-2_Matthew-Katzen.png\" alt=\"Matthew Katzen, Senior Vice President with Lee &amp; Associates South Florida Office Landlord Agency and Tenant Rep\" width=\"100\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a>It\u2019s the pricier Class A office space that dominates the leasing activity in South Florida as out-of-state companies continue to hunt for premium space, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/our-team\/matthew-katzen\/\"><strong>Matthew Katzen<\/strong><\/a>, senior vice president of Lee &amp; Associates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new space, it goes quicker,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are so many companies from the finance and tech world coming down here that there is not a lot of Class A space that is vacant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Stephen Rutchik, vice chair of Colliers\u2019 Miami office, said that the migration of companies heading to South Florida continues, though \u201cat a more measured pace\u201d than two years ago. And those companies want upscale Class A spaces, preferably in exciting downtown areas that lure employees to the office for at least part of the week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t always translate to a larger footprint or larger office,\u201d Rutchik added. \u201cBut it does lead to a different and more collaborative environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, not all companies are out to shrink their footprints.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Seattle-based e-commerce giant Amazon is looking for 50,000 square feet of office space in the Miami-area. At present, Amazon\u2019s 300 South Florida corporate employees operate from coworking spaces in Coral Gables.<\/p>\n<p>Also, billionaire Kenneth Griffin plans on building his own office tower for his Citadel hedge fund on land he invested more than $600 million assembling at 1201 Brickell Bay Drive in Miami. He\u2019s also secured about 93,000 square feet at 830 Brickell, a 57-story tower that has attracted major companies and law firms such as Microsoft and Sidley Austin. (Until 830 Brickell opens, Griffin\u2019s Citadel and Citadel Securities companies lease temporary space inside the Southeast Financial Center as Citadel\u2019s new headquarters.)<\/p>\n<p>Griffin, incidentally, declared his intent to relocate the headquarters for his Citadel companies from Chicago last year. Among Griffin\u2019s stated reasons for moving out of the Windy City was rising crime.<\/p>\n<p>He isn\u2019t alone. Corporate relocation scout Boyd said he\u2019s spoken to several company heads considering a move to Florida because they consider the cities where they live to be unsafe and mismanaged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a feeling among job creators and taxpayers that crimes are prosecuted in Florida,\u201d said Boyd, whose firm recently relocated from New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor pushing high earners and office-seeking executives to Florida is the lack of a state income tax. Once upon a time, households could deduct state income taxes from their federal income taxes. That deduction was limited to $10,000 when President Donald Trump signed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, which resulted in wealthy families moving their permanent addresses to states with low or nonexistent state income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Florida has no state income tax, no estate taxes and no snow. And after May 2020, the state banned local governments from enacting Covid-19 restrictions so it received a huge infusion of money and people following the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida Chamber of Commerce estimates that $39.2 billion in net income flowed toward the Sunshine State between 2020 and 2021. About $7.4 billion of that income went to Miami-Dade County, $7.2 billion to Palm Beach County, and $1.7 billion to Broward.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2024\/01\/04\/class-a-office-projects-south-florida.html\">Read More...<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-9466-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-9466-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-9466-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder panel-first-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div id=\"pl-w65bc37d3c9286\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w65bc37d3c9286-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w65bc37d3c9286-0\" ><div id=\"pgc-w65bc37d3c9286-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w65bc37d3c9286-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2024\/01\/04\/class-a-office-projects-south-florida.html\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" \t\t>\n\t\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/12\/SFBJ.jpg\" width=\"256\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/12\/SFBJ.jpg 1094w, https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/12\/SFBJ-512x159.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.lee-associates.com\/southflorida\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/12\/SFBJ-768x239.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-w65bc37d3c9286-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w65bc37d3c9286-0-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-leeassoc-7cab42e143bd\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"leeassoc-so-btn-base ow-button-base ow-button-align-justify\">\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/southflorida\/news\/2024\/01\/04\/class-a-office-projects-south-florida.html\" class=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left ow-button-hover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" \t\t>\r\n\t\t<span>\r\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-far\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf1ea;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\tRead Full Article at South Florida Business Journal\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-9466-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><strong>About Lee &amp; Associates South Florida<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lee &amp; Associates South Florida is a fully vertical commercial real estate brokerage firm focused on industrial, office, retail, multifamily, investment and land sectors.
