Morris Southeast Group/CORFAC International Principal Ken Morris, SIOR, announced today his firm has signed the Broward County Aviation Department to a five-year lease at Airport Commerce Park in Dania Beach, FL.

Morris, Koreena Rivers and Lois Paskow, RPA represented the landlord, ACP Partners, LLC in the 23,778-square-foot transaction. The property is located at 4101 Ravenswood Road. Airport Commerce Park is on the west side of Interstate 95 and less than four miles from the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Dania Beach, which is south of Ft. Lauderdale and north of Hollywood.

The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) will use the property for administrative offices and plans to move in during the first half of 2012 and after the property owner completes significant tenant improvements to the building. The office building is a single-story campus style property that will allow easy and quick transit from the car into the office for both BCAD personnel and the various contractors associated with the aviation department.

The BCAD move is a major consolidation after years of occupying multiple office locations including some within the airport terminal, as well as portable offices. The new location will also make it convenient for BCAD staff to observe and manage oversight of a runway expansion project that is scheduled to begin at the airport soon.

Airport Commerce Center is comprised of four buildings totaling approximately 60,000 square feet. The BCAD lease brings the park to almost full occupancy, according to Morris.
