The FBI’s far-flung operations in South Florida are being centralized in a new $156 million headquarters in Broward County.

The General Services Administration says FBI employees from 12 locations have begun moving into the single facility. The FBI Miami field office has jurisdiction in federal cases along Florida’s southeast coast from Vero Beach to Key West.

The FBI says more than 1,000 employees can work in the new building, which covers 330,000 square feet on a 20-acre site in Miramar. There also are parking spaces for 1,075 vehicles.

The FBI’s headquarters in South Florida had been located in North Miami Beach for the past 28 years.
