Blanca Commercial Real Estate announced that The Main Las Olas office component is now 100% leased, twenty four months after receiving its temporary certificate of occupancy with the 3,670 RSF expansion of Shutts & Bowen and new tenant Zions Bank leasing 3,931 RSF of office space.
The property is a 1.4 million-square-foot, mixed-use office, residential and retail community featuring Class A offices, stunning high-end architecture, chic residences and destinations for gathering, dining and shopping. The 25-story property features a 387,402-square-foot tower, 17,355 square feet of total retail space, a 2,951-square-foot fitness center, 3,360-square-foot office lounge and conference center, along with an outdoor terrace featuring a fire pit, bar and glass floor oculus with panoramic views of Las Olas and the beach with event and conference space.
The property’s leasing team is led by Danet Linares, executive vice chairman of Blanca Commercial Real Estate, alongside Christina Jolley, senior vice president; Sky Jones, associate vice president; and Tere Blanca, chairman & CEO.
The Main Las Olas was developed by Shorenstein Properties LLC and Stiles, two real estate leaders with development track records spanning more than a century, and was designed by nationally acclaimed architecture firm Cooper Carry.
Shutts & Bowen was represented by Zach Wendelin and Kevin Probel of CBRE, Inc.
Tenants at The Main Las Olas include financial, legal, real estate and insurance sectors, both relocation and new-to-market, solidifying the continued demand for office space in Fort Lauderdale.

RSM

Starboard Value
“We are thrilled to reach this milestone,” said Linares, Executive Vice Chairman of Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “Over the last year, flight-to-quality remained at the forefront of all major office moves and the uptick of new-to-market demand translated into the stellar performance of new office developments and top-tier existing Class A office space.”
Shorenstein and Stiles developed The Main Las Olas, anticipating the demand for high-quality, luxury office space with world-class architecture and amenities that differentiate the property as the preferred choice for corporate users and its employees. As the only office building in the region offering businesses a full range of amenities, conference space and ceiling heights and surpassing anything else in the market, The Main Las Olas has been the premier choice for companies migrating to South Florida due to the pandemic.
The Main Las Olas is the first new construction class A office space in downtown Fort Lauderdale in more than a decade, further solidifying Broward County’s downtown core as a major player in the commercial real estate office sector. Low taxes and quality of life compared to other major cities are two of the big factors driving the continued migration to South Florida including downtown Fort Lauderdale, one of the most dynamic and growing urban centers in the region. Well-known companies headquartered in Broward County include AutoNation, Citrix, Spirit, Virgin Voyages, Microsoft’s Latin American headquarters, Royal Caribbean International, Chewy, and Hotwire Communications. Other major companies with a significant presence include American Express, Chiquita, JetBlue, Marriott, and DHL.
“We are extremely pleased with the success of The Main Las Olas, the first luxury office of its kind,” said Charles Malet, President and Chief Investment Officer at Shorenstein. “The property underscores Shorenstein’s continued focus on developing differentiated, best-in-class office properties in attractive and growing markets. As preferences for office spaces continue to evolve, we believe these types of top-quality spaces will remain the desired choice for tenants nationwide.”
“Along with our partner Shorenstein, we set out to establish a new bar for luxury urban office, not only in Fort Lauderdale, but in all of South Florida,” said Stiles CEO Ken Stiles. “The Main Las Olas offers a truly distinctive integrated work, life and entertainment experience with an unmatched level of quality, amenities and design. We are proud to have had the opportunity to continue our 72 year track record of quality development with this iconic project.”

Signature Consultants, an IT consulting firm, will be moving from its current office at 200 West Cypress Creek Road into a 7,038-square-foot space in the Cypress Financial Center in March 2023. Peter Reed of Commercial Florida Realty Services represented Signature Consultants in the lease negotiations.
Alpine, a division of Illinois Tool Works, will be relocating from another building in Broward County into a 6,065-square-foot space within Cypress in April 2023. A designer and manufacturer of roof, floor, and wall components, Alpine was also represented by Cushman & Wakefield.
The other three lease deals are with existing building tenants.

The company had previously subleased the space from another tenant but the new lease is through landlord Vision Properties. Prime Education was represented by Mitchell Millowitz of Newmark.
Perfume manufacturer and distributor Parlux negotiated directly with Herring and Ridgway to renew the lease of its 2,062-square-foot office.
Scott Friedman, vice president of project management for The Morgan Companies, a full service commercial real estate firm, negotiated on behalf of his company to renew its 1,394-square-foot office lease.
South Florida office rents have been trending upward since the height of the pandemic as new-to-market and local companies seek out quality office space. In the third quarter of 2023, Broward County, office rents for Class A and Class B buildings averaged $37.84 a square foot, an increase of 2.9% from last year, a recent from Cushman & Wakefield stated. Within the Cypress Creek/Commercial Corridor rents averaged $34.09 a square foot.
Built in 1988, the 11-story Cypress Financial Center was purchased by a subsidiary of Vision Properties for $44.2 million in January 2021 after a previous deal to acquire the building by another real estate company fell through. The building has since been renovated and includes a cafe, a parking garage, on-site security, and “exclusive on-ramp access to Interstate 95 Southbound,” Cushman & Wakefield stated.
The limited office space available in the Cypress Financial Center is advertised at $24 a square foot on LoopNet.com. That rental rate does not include utilities, property expenses or building services.
NAI/Merin Hunter Codman, the property leasing and management company of 1 East Broward, an iconic 19-story, 350,000-square-foot office building in Fort Lauderdale, welcomed West Marine, the nation’s leading retailer for the sailing, boating, fishing and watersports markets, to its new 50,000-square-foot corporate headquarters at 1 East Broward.
1 East Broward, one of Fort Lauderdale’s leading Class A office buildings, is centrally located on the northeast corner of Broward Boulevard and Andrews Avenue, just a short walk from Fort Lauderdale’s many amenities including the Brightline Train station, the fast-growing Flagler Village residential neighborhood, and Las Olas Boulevard.
West Marine’s relocation of their corporate headquarters from Santa Cruz, California to Fort Lauderdale will create approximately 225 corporate jobs over time and tallied an $800,000 capital investment into the property and community according to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance. Thursday, October 27th marked the ribbon cutting ceremony at their new 1 East Broward headquarter location. Ribbon cutting attendees included West Marine Chief Executive Officer Eric Kufel and Chief Commercial Officer Stacey Renfro, as well as Broward County Mayor Michael Udine, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance President and CEO Bob Swindell, Fort Lauderdale Chamber President and CEO Dan Lindblade, and top members of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Mr. Kufel along with the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Vice Mayor Sorensen, and City Commissioner, District 2 Steven Glassman cut the ribbon at the ceremony.
The city of Fort Lauderdale, which has over 300 miles of inland waterways and is home to about 50,000 yachts, is known as the Yachting Capital of the World. It’s no wonder this South Florida city attracted West Marine.
West Marine CEO, Eric Kufel, recently stated, “Our relocation to Fort Lauderdale means we can better serve the sailing and boating communities. We want to be where the boaters are, not only to support the existing community, but welcome newcomers to the industry.”
NAI/Merin Hunter Codman Chief Executive Officer Jordan Paul stated, “We are thrilled that West Marine has chosen 1 East Broward for its corporate headquarters. West Marine is an iconic brand that meshes perfectly with the outdoor lifestyle that makes Fort Lauderdale a unique city to live, work and play. We are honored that West Marine has selected 1 East Broward as its new corporate home and look forward to working with them for many years as they continue to grow their market leading business.”
