One Clearlake Centre, West Palm Beach

Chicago Firm Picks Up West Palm Office Building

/in , /by

Chicago-based Bradford Allen Investment Advisors has made its second splash in the South Florida office market with its purchase of One Clearlake Centre office tower from Rockpoint Group for $45 million, according to property records provided by Vizzda.

The company intends to invest an additional $10 million into refurbishing the property, which currently has a 62% occupancy rate, as part of a value-add strategy.

The 221,000-square-foot building was purchased in 2021 for $60.7 million by Rockpoint Group in partnership with Tricera Capital, NDT Development, and New England Development. Despite efforts, occupancy has remained stagnant, resulting in a nearly 26% loss on the recent sale.

Built in 1986 and located at 250 South Australian Avenue in downtown West Palm Beach, the building will receive a new roof, updated elevators, a renovated fitness and conference center, a tenant lounge, and food service upgrades. Bradford Allen also plans to introduce four move-in-ready spec suites in 2025.

Current tenants include Truist Bank, Ideal Nutrition, and Robert Half.

The leasing for the building will be managed by Tower Commercial Real Estate, led by Jon Blunk and Laurel Oswald.

While One Clearlake has struggled, newer properties like One Flagler — opened in February and 95% leased — reflect strong demand for modern office space. According to CBRE, Class A office buildings in the West Palm Beach central business district have a low direct vacancy rate of 2.8%.

“There is significant potential in repositioning One Clearlake,” said Blunk. “Like other urban cores, downtown West Palm Beach is seeing strong demand for premium office space as top-tier companies move in.”

Earlier this year, Bradford Allen made its entry into South Florida with a $208 million purchase of Las Olas Centre I and II in Fort Lauderdale, the city’s largest office sale in nearly ten years. That building was 69% occupied, and the firm plans a $25 million renovation.

CBRE’s Sean Kelly, Amy Julian, Andrew Chilgren, Tom Rappa, and Mathew Lee represented the seller in the transaction.
