While Broward County has experienced some positive momentum, ultimately, the success of Broward County’s office real estate market will depend upon sustained employment growth and job creation, according to Transwestern’s Broward County Office Market Report 1Q2013.
Local government agencies are ramping up incentive programs to include job growth cash incentives and capital investment tax credits that are intended to attract new-to-market employers despite the ongoing uncertainty that surrounds Washington.
The good news is that as market fundamentals continue to improve in 2013 and demand for office space advances, Transwestern expects the investor pool interested in Broward to grow as well and the investment market to become more competitive than in years past.

The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency accepted a request that could change the face of the city’s downtown.
After discussion and community input, the CRA board decided that it will negotiate a plan with One Boynton Realty for development of an 11-story mixed use tower, a 12-story mixed use tower, an 11-story hotel and a 50,000 square-foot national headquarters for law firm, Kanner and Pintaluga at 222 N. Federal Highway, at the southeast corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway.
The law firm, which started in Boynton in 2003, moved to Delray last year and could potentially come back to the city with 200 jobs, said executive director Vivian Brooks.
The law firm is also looking at two properties in Delray Beach, but the city feels like it is at a point where it can compete.
The city issued a request for developers on the North Federal Highway property in February. The One Boynton Realty/Kanner and Pintaluga project was the only bidder by the April 5 deadline.
The proposed project is anticipated to be completed in four phases:
Phase 1 (April 2013-February 2015): Six-story, 50,000 square feet of offices over 300-space garage. Proposed anchor: Kanner and Pintaluga law firm.
