The prime objective of the South Florida Office Brokers Association (SFOBA) is to give members an opportunity to network with their peers, get more information on what is available in the marketplace, and hopefully get pertinent market information from guest speakers, as well as research analysis for the area.
Our meetings are hosted, graciously, by our members. The host property gets exposure to market the space available in the building and for all to see it first hand.
There is no charge to be a member of SFOBA, but it is for office brokers only.
If you are an office broker, and not yet a member of SFOBA, please let us know by leaving a comment below. Be sure to include your name and email address and we’ll be happy to add your name to our current email distribution list to keep you informed of upcoming meetings.

Currently under construction just north of the intersection of Broward Boulevard and Federal Highway, office building 105 North Federal is planning to open this winter.
Adache Group Architects designed the 36,216-square-foot contemporary building with large angled glass features. Wood and metal paneling covers the exterior bringing different textures along with the glass. The prominent geometrical lines provide a new visual element that’s not seen around the gradually urbanizing area, where things are decidedly more… subdued.
105 North Federal takes residence on the south side of the up-and-coming Flagler Village, Lauderdale’s hip and pedestrian-centric enclave, and it is just a block from the massive 721-unit new rental property, Henry Square, which is scheduled to open this summer.
