September 21, 2020/in News/by SFOBA STAFF

Blanca Commercial Real Estate has been selected as the exclusive leasing agent for The Main Las Olas, located at 201 E. Las Olas, in downtown Ft. Lauderdale.

Spanning a full city block and slated to deliver in November 2020, the project redefines the city’s epicenter with 1.4 million SF of mixed-use office, residential and retail space that stands alone across South Florida as nothing short of revolutionary. Combining a dramatic and stunning 25-story all-glass design by nationally acclaimed architecture firm Cooper Cary with world-class leading amenities, The Main Las Olas offers nearly 370,000 SF of office space with expansive 12-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for maximum light, volume, and transparency. Connected to a luxury apartment tower with a Publix GreenWise grocer on the ground floor, the office tower’s outdoor and indoor amenity spaces, conference centers and fitness center rival even the most cutting-edge office spaces found across the region.

The Main Las Olas offers a compelling range of amenities totaling 11,012 SF for its prospective tenants. They include a full-fledged fitness center, office lounges and conference centers, all found on a beautifully appointed 3,303 SF amenity deck and wraparound “Sky Deck” that features panoramic views of Las Olas.

LEED Gold-certified and with a focus on environmental consciousness and the wellness of its occupants, tenants at The Main Las Olas will also enjoy energy efficient, touchless fixtures, electric vehicle charging stations, and a state-of-the-art ionized air filtration system that helps eliminate airborne virus, allergens, and mold particles. The building is inspired by the vibrant culture and energy found in the Las Olas neighborhood and is proximate to the Brightline Ft. Lauderdale Station, which allows it to easily connect with Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, offering tenants the ability to attract and retain top talent from all three counties.

Tenants at The Main Las Olas include the law firms of Akerman and Berger Singerman and holding company BBX Capital.

“Blanca Commercial Real Estate’s stellar reputation and track record in South Florida speaks for itself,” said Stiles President Scott MacLaren. “We look forward to working closely with their team on our overall leasing strategy as we near completion of this iconic project on Las Olas.”

The Blanca leasing team at The Main Las Olas includes Vice Chairman Danet Linares, Associate Sky Jones with strategic leadership from Tere Blanca.

Pike Rowley, Avison Young Principal and Managing Director of the firm’s operations in Florida, announced the appointment of Paul Marko as Avison Young Principal.

Marko will be focused on serving and advising office occupiers in South Florida.

“Office occupiers are facing major decisions about their office needs and workforce,” said Rowley. “With exceptional industry expertise and market knowledge, Paul is positioned to provide clients with data-driven insights and solutions that meet their business needs.”

This year, the South Florida office market has seen overall rent growth begin to decelerate due to an increasing supply pipeline, and a record amount of office space under construction with significant deliveries expected by year end. At the same time, companies are taking an active holistic and strategic view of office footprints in a post-pandemic world to meet the expectations of their workforce and business needs.

“Avison Young is a great match for my skill set; its recent expansion of consulting across the Americas and investment in technology and innovation will help drive my ability to use data and analytics to fuel insights for the companies and industries I serve,” said Marko. “The firm’s culture of collaboration, integrated services and client-centric approach are consistent with my own business approach, helping to provide solutions to clients for the issues of today and tomorrow.”

Marko has more than 30 years of experience in commercial real estate across office tenant representation, buyer broker services, lease/portfolio administration, project management and consulting. He joins Avison Young after eight years at Stiles Realty, where he served as President overseeing the leasing and sales division. Prior to Stiles, Marko served as First Vice President at CBRE in Ft. Lauderdale in the firm’s global corporate services and office tenant advisory services groups. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University.

CBRE announced that industry veteran Madelayne Garcia has joined the firm as senior vice president of Advisory and Transaction Services, specializing in office landlord representation across South Florida. Ms. Garcia joins CBRE with more than 25 years of commercial real estate experience.

“We are thrilled to welcome Madelayne to our South Florida team,” said David Bateman, Managing Director at CBRE. “She brings a wealth of experience, and we are confident that her contributions will continue strengthening and expanding our capabilities in landlord representation in our region.”

Ms. Garcia joins CBRE from Stiles Realty, where she was since 2001. Prior to Stiles, Ms. Garcia was the Director of Leasing at The Hogan Group. During her tenure at The Hogan Group, she represented Royal Palm at SouthPointe, a joint venture between The Hogan Group and Credit Suisse First Boston.

Ms. Garcia has won several awards throughout her career, including CoStar Power Broker Award from 2006 to 2019, the Florida Real Estate Journal’s Top Woman in Commercial Real Estate Award, Daily Business Review’s “Top Dealmaker of the Year – Leasing”, among others.
