CBRE announced plans today to relocate its Fort Lauderdale office to a new 12,993-square-foot space on the 15th floor at Bank of America Plaza, a 23-story office building also known as Las Olas City Centre in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Part of CBRE’s global “Workplace360” initiative, the new office at 401 East Las Olas Blvd. will feature both state-of-the-art technology and design that enhances workplace experience and seamlessly connects employees. CBRE plans to complete its relocation in Q3 2019.

CBRE’s Workplace360 initiative promotes flexible and mobile working with enhanced technology and features a balance of workplace settings, including both collaborative and private spaces that employees can self-select to accommodate their hour-by-hour needs.

“At CBRE, we pride ourselves in knowing how to enhance the workplace experience to drive business change,” said Scott Correale, Managing Director at CBRE. “We have seen the success of our Workplace360 Miami office, and we are excited to bring this innovative initiative to Fort Lauderdale. Our new office will create a more collaborative culture for our employees in a sustainable environment, and we know it will have a meaningful impact in attracting and retaining top talent.”

“Our new office will showcase a new way of working to our clients, and we are excited to invite them to our new space. They will experience cutting-edge solutions to help inform their decision-making process as they consider their future workplace needs,” said Zach Wendelin, Senior Vice President at CBRE, who represented the firm in the lease transaction.

CBRE is leveraging its in-house Workplace and Project Management services to implement the project from initiation through move-in. Employee committees will participate in decision-making to create a unique office experience that caters to individual health and wellness, while also reflecting the excellence of the CBRE brand and corporate culture.

“From productivity and wellness, to engagement and recruitment, the workplace directly contributes to business results. Better business performance begins with better workplace performance, and at CBRE, we practice what we preach,” said Cicily Scharlach, program manager for CBRE’s Workplace360 initiative. “By driving greater collaboration and productivity, and improving our business agility, our newest Workplace360 office will be an environment where our employees will feel engaged and thrive.”

CBRE will move from its current offices at 200 East Las Olas Boulevard.
