Tom Burst has joined Colliers International South Florida as Senior Vice President in the West Palm Beach office.
With over 27 years’ experience in commercial real estate, he has the knowledge and insight to advise office clients on all aspects of commercial real estate from leasing to disposition, to repositioning properties to maximize their potential.
“Tom has been a recognized leader in the West Palm Beach region and we are thrilled to have him join our team,” says Stephen Nostrand, CEO of Colliers International South Florida. “His career-long dedication to being a trusted advisor to his clients mirrors our commitment to building our team with passionate professionals who know how to deliver success. This expansion in the Palm Beach County area will include several other experienced brokers joining our existing team members. We will begin 2014 with a specific goal of creating an expanded presence for Colliers International South Florida in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties.”
Prior to joining Colliers, Burst owned Burst Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc., which he founded in 1996 and merged with KRES Commercial in 2012. Previously he had been a broker with GMH Associates, initially joining as director of marketing for the Florida region. Before that he was an associate with CB Commercial Real Estate Group (now CBRE) where he was that firm’s top producer in the West Palm Beach office market, as well as one of the top producers for CB Commercial in South Florida.
“The support and level of professionalism offered by Colliers is amazing,” said Burst. “This firm allows the brokers to concentrate all of our energy toward the client’s success. Colliers has experts in every aspect of the commercial and corporate real estate market, but what is truly unique is the access we have to each of these experts and the structure to encourage each specialty to work together to meet the goals of our clients. That separates Colliers as the top real estate advisor in the market.”
A graduate of Florida State University, Burst volunteers with the Florida Wildlife Commission as a hunter education instructor, and has been active with the Boy Scouts of America as a teacher of ethics and leadership.

The upscale Boca Raton office building that once served as the corporate headquarters for W.R. Grace & Co. and ADT Corp. sold recently for $12.7 million.
An investment group based in New York and Miami bought the “Class A” property at 1750 Clint Moore Road as part of a tax-deferred deal. The seller was Rodney Longman, a former manufacturing mogul. Glenn E. Gromann, an attorney and president of Center Realty Associates, arranged the transaction.

US Capital Holdings Group is receiving compliments and interest from commercial real estate brokers about 321 North, a live, work, shop, play, stay destination under development. When completed, the $400 million project will offer dining, shopping, entertainment, residences and offices in an environment unlike any other in South Florida.
More than 130 brokers gathered in the atrium of the former Fashion Mall to learn about the complete transformation of the property over the next several years. David Emihovich of Katz Associates and Larry Klein of Forest City Enterprise, which US Capital Holdings Group have retained for retail leasing, described the project’s vision and showed renderings of 321 North.
“This is an iconic project,” Emihovich told a packed room. “321 North is the most exciting property in Broward County.”
US Capital Holdings Group hosted the brokers at the launch of Retail Bus Tour Broward, a day-long visit to top retail locations in the county. The tour concluded at 321 North, where US Capital held a reception.
“321 North is a dynamic nexus of hospitality and business, living and leisure,” said Klein. “It is highly accessible, located in the heart of Broward County’s vibrant and affluent demographic.”
321 North will be completed in five phases. The first is expected to begin this month when renovation permits for the 160,000-square-foot office building are received from the City of Plantation. The office building should be ready for occupancy in late 2014. The second phase is scheduled to start a year from now.
The company showed a fresh conceptual site plan for 321 North to city officials in August. US Capital is revising that based on their feedback.
“321 North is an exceptional expression of the ‘modern lifestyle brand,’ combining the health and wellness focus of today’s smart consumer with the highest quality in dining and entertainment — an intimate and interwoven live, work, play, stay environment,” said Mr. Wei Chen, CEO, US Capital Holdings LLC.

Greenspoon Marder has leased four floors at 200 East Broward Blvd., one of downtown Fort Lauderdale’s tallest office buildings. The firm will move all attorneys downtown, keeping portions of its Cypress Creek area office for support staff.
The new 64,964-square-foot lease expands what was formerly Ruden McClosky’s space in the tower. Greenspoon acquired Ruden’s book of business and many attorneys out of bankruptcy in November 2011.
Greenspoon has more than 160 attorneys in 10 Florida offices.
“We wanted to align our space needs with our business goals by bringing our lawyers closer to many of our corporate and banking business clients in downtown Fort Lauderdale,” co-founding partner Gerry Greenspoon said in a news release.
Sandra Andersen, senior VP for Jones Lang LaSalle, completed the lease on behalf of the building’s ownership, VV USA City, LP., an entity represented by Invesco Real Estate.
Greenspoon Marder was represented by Studley corporate managing director Thomas Capocefalo and executive VP Gregory Katz.
According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the occupancy rate at the 21-story class A office building rises to 87 percent, with other tenants including PNC Bank and law firms Shutts & Bowen and Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Cole & Boniske.
“This transaction is a testament to the strengthening of the office market in the CBD, particularly along Broward Boulevard, as law firms like Greenspoon Marder look to solidify their presence in the Central Business District,” Andersen said in the news release.
