JLL Arranges Five Office Leases Totaling 34,000 SF At Presidential Circle In Hollywood

/in , /by

JLL announced the completion of several new leases, including relocations, extensions, expansions and renewals at Presidential Circle in Hollywood that drive total occupancy at the two-tower, Class A office complex to 88 percent.

Situated at 4000 Hollywood Blvd., the 281,625-square-foot office building has executed leases with new and existing tenants from financial services firms to medical office users ranging in size from approximately 2,963 to over 16,000 square feet.

JLL Executive Vice President Brady Titcomb represented the building’s ownership group, CDS Realty Investments, LLC.

“As top-tier office space in markets like Miami and West Palm Beach become scarce and more expensive, Hollywood is increasingly becoming the location of choice for companies looking for quality office space at a much more competitive price in South Florida,” said Titcomb. “An iconic property like Presidential Circle is perfectly situated for businesses across all industries looking to take advantage of its strategic location between both major interstates and within close proximity to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), the world’s second busiest cruise port and the nation’s fifth largest healthcare system.”

Among the new additions to Presidential Cricle’s distinguished roster of office tenants are:

  • Relocating from Downtown Miami, Air Charter Service, the world’s largest aviation brokerage, offering helicopters, private jets and executive airliner charters, as well as a huge range of small specialist aircraft for all business needs, signed a new lease for 5,425 square feet of space in the North Tower. Air Charter Service was represented by Tyler de la Peña of Colliers. (Tyler has recently joined JLL as Senior Vice President.)
  • AR Capital Group, a financial services company founded in 2014 with a mission to provide innovative solutions to clients’ commercial finance needs, will be relocating from another location in Hollywood and occupy 4,929 square feet in the North Tower.
  • Starlims, which delivers globally recognized laboratory information management systems and informatics solutions for cutting-edge labs, has renewed its lease and taken 10,385 square feet of space in the South Tower. Starlims was represented by CBRE’s Keith Edelman and Scott Goldstein.
  • Hazen and Sawyer, a firm that provides environmental engineering services to clients in the areas of water quality and supply, completed a 16,312-square-foot office lease renewal. The tenant was represented by Curtis Dean of CD Commercial Real Estate Services.
  • DermCare, a specialized practice management company designed for and by seasoned dermatology professionals, has renewed its 9,937-square-foot lease early for its corporate headquarters location. The full-service practice management company was represented by Tony Jones with Cushman & Wakefield.
  • For more than 70 years, NPC Financial has been helping individuals, families, and businesses make well informed decisions regarding their finances. The South Florida-based financial planner, represented by JLL Executive Managing Director Steven Hurwitz, extended its lease for 2,963 square feet of space in the North Tower.

“As the property’s ownership, we remain committed to continuing to reinvest in enhancing the office building to provide a best-in-class experience on a consistent basis for all of the esteemed companies that are tenants in our property,” added Eric Levy, Vice President of CDS Realty Investments, LLC. “The recent leasing success and number of renewals executed by the JLL team underscore tenants’ commitment to having their business address at Presidential Circle.”

Centrally located directly on one of Hollywood’s most traveled boulevards, Presidential Circle offers convenient access to Interstate 95 and Florida’s Turnpike. While the seven-story property features many on-site amenities including a café and banking center, additional restaurants and banking options are within walking distance including Jimmy Johns, Picadilly, Sub City, Wendy’s, Capones Italian, Il Posto, Sebastianos, and many more. ​Additional nearby retail options including shipping and office service stores include Target, CVS, Publix, Walmart, FedEx Office and UPS Store. Presidential Circle features a 24/7 lobby attendant and security, on-site property management and spacious conference facilities, in addition to a 4 to 1,000-square-foot parking ratio with covered options. Tenant-ready suites are also available for lease.

According to JLL’s latest office insight report for Broward County, development remains limited in Fort Lauderdale, with only T3 FAT Village East and West under construction. The office market exhibited a somewhat sluggish start to the year, however, rents continued their upward trajectory settling at $46.88 per square foot full service, marking an impressive 17.3% increase year-over-year.

JLL announced that Cruise Yacht Opco, The Ritz Carlton’s luxury yacht service division, has taken 17,000 square feet at Plaza 100, an 11-story, Class A office building in Fort Lauderdale’s NoBro district at 100 NE Third Avenue.

The luxury yachting company will occupy the 175,510-square-foot building’s entire 11th floor penthouse accommodating nearly 60 employees.

JLL Managing Directors Doug Okun and Steven Hurwitz represented the landlord, Zurich Alternative Asset Management, in the lease negations. Keith Edelman, Scott Goldstein, and Zach Wendelin of CBRE represented the tenant Cruise Yacht Opco. Formed in 2006, Zurich Alternative Asset Management (ZAAM) is Zurich North America’s dedicated alternative asset management platform. ZAAM invests solely on behalf of Zurich affiliates worldwide, providing asset allocation, investment selection and investment management across hedge funds, private equity and U.S. real estate.

“Fort Lauderdale’s NoBro district is quickly becoming one of South Florida’s most exciting and sought-after destinations,” said Okun. “The urban offerings and multiple transit options have created a live, work, play lifestyle that is attracting companies of all sizes and across all industries.”

Located near Flagler Village and within minutes of the Brightline private rail train station, Plaza 100 offers tenants upscale amenities steps away from the city’s best entertainment and dining options such as Doc B’s Restaurant + Bar, Morton’s the Steakhouse, American Social and other local favorites. The building features a newly renovated plaza, common areas, and conference center, onsite management, and full service, onsite banking. Current tenants at Plaza 100 include U.S. Legal, Oppenheimer, Katz Barron and Mombach, Boyle, Hardin and Simmons, P.A.

According to JLL’s Q1 Office Report for Broward County, the Fort Lauderdale office market has a positive outlook ahead. With more competitive rental rates than Miami-Dade and Palm Beach and the same weather and tax climate as its neighbors, Fort Lauderdale’s central location provides the broadest access to South Florida’s expansive talent pool.

Colliers | U.S. announced that Julie Northcutt-Dunn has joined the firm as Executive Managing Director and Market Leader for the company’s business in South Florida, which includes offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach.

In her new role, Julie will directly oversee all Brokerage operations and service lines in South Florida with a focus on new business development, talent recruitment, talent retention and marketing. She will report to Ryan Kratz, President, Southeast Region | U.S. Brokerage. Kratz will remain in the South Florida market and a key member of the company’s U.S. Leadership Team. He is one of Colliers’ four Regional Presidents as he oversees 20 offices throughout the Southeast and parts of the Midwest.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the enterprising team at Colliers during a time when our business in South Florida is thriving,” said Northcutt-Dunn. “In partnership with our deep bench of local talent and regional and national leadership, I am confident Colliers will continue to grow throughout the region.”

Northcutt-Dunn brings more than 15 years of industry experience to Colliers, most recently as Regional Sales Director of CBRE’s Midwest Division, where she filled two valuable roles: Sales Management Leader and interim Managing Director of Corporate Client Solutions. Prior to her work at CBRE, Julie held executive leadership roles in the financial services industry, including as Senior Vice President, Mortgage Executive at Fifth Third Bank.

Under Kratz’s leadership, Colliers has significantly strengthened its influence in the South Florida market. The firm acquired strategically positioned brokerage and property management firms such as Continental Real Estate Companies (CREC), with a focus on retail, and Michael Falk & Co., with a focus on office and industrial in Palm Beach county. During the same time, a number of notable professionals joined the Colliers team including Jonathan Carter, Dave Preston, Nikki Traff, Keith Edelman, Scott Goldstein, and Mark Rubin. In 2019, Kratz hired Greg Main-Baillie to lead Colliers’s fast-growing Development Services project and construction management operation.

“As the Market Leader for Colliers’ 75-broker South Florida operation for the last two years, I know that the business has grown to the size and service line complexity that requires full time market leadership by a top-tier professional,” Kratz said. “Julie’s unique, entrepreneurial spirit matches our Colliers values perfectly, and under her experienced leadership, I expect Colliers to continue to increase market share and attract top talent.”
