/in , /by

Spirit Airlines Inc. has agreed to stay put at the Miramar Park of Commerce, where the company has based its South Florida operations since 1999.

The company announced Friday that it signed a 70,819-square-foot lease renewal at the 2844 and 2854 Corporate Way facility it calls the Spirit Support Center. The discount airline is expanding its presence at the facility by 14,625 square feet of office space. Financial terms of the 10-year lease were not disclosed.

Spirit moved its headquarters from Detroit to Miramar 14 years ago. The low-cost carrier now has more than 1,300 employees in South Florida.

Miramar Park of Commerce was developed by Sunbeam Properties Inc. Sunbeam vice presidents Andrew Ansin and Maridee Bell represented the park in the transaction. Studley Inc. senior managing director Chris Lovell, executive vice president Greg Katz and senior managing director Roy Abernathy represented Spirit.

The transaction is Broward County’s largest office lease in 2013, according to Studley.

“Our team spent over a year evaluating multiple cities and options,” Lovell said in a statement. “We are pleased that the employment and economic opportunities in South Florida and the partnership approach of Miramar Park of Commerce provided such convincing reasons for Spirit’s long-term commitment to this region.”

The property currently houses more than 160 companies from start-ups to multi-nationals.

“We have worked closely with JLL over the years so they have a thorough, unique understanding of the Park,” said Andrew Ansin, Vice President of Sunbeam Properties. “Their success in the market along with the team’s professionalism, diligence and energy will be an asset to us as we adjust our marketing and leasing efforts to adapt to a changing environment.”

Packaging Supplier Inks 40,000 SF Lease

/in , /by

Jones Lang LaSalle has secured a 40,000-square-foot lease on behalf of Berlin Packaging, a leading North American packaging supplier, at a new spec distribution building at 9682-9698 Premier Parkway, located within the Miramar Park of Commerce.

The lease marks a significant expansion for the Chicago-based company in the South Florida market. Jones Lang LaSalle’s Managing Director Steven Medwin SIOR, CCIM, Senior Vice President Chris Watts and Vice President Nick Wigoda, completed the lease transaction on behalf of the tenant.

The Berlin Packaging lease brings total occupancy at the 87,540-square-foot building to 100 percent just one month after Sunbeam Properties delivered the spec building to the market. Chicago-based Berlin Packaging chose to expand its South Florida presence to better service new and existing customers from its new home in Broward County.

“We are excited for our new warehousing space in the Miramar Park of Commerce. It will enable us to thrill even more customers with our inventory programs and our long track record of on-time delivery,” said Larry Rydzewski, Berlin Packaging’s Chief Operating Officer.

The remainder of the building is occupied by a new-to-market manufacturing company which recently leased nearly 48,000 square feet, a deal also completed by Jones Lang LaSalle brokers.

“The fact that two highly regarded national companies have absorbed the latest spec building to be constructed at Miramar Park of Commerce, just one month after the new building was delivered, is a testament to the desirability for new warehouses and the strength of the South Florida industrial market,” said Jones Lang LaSalle Managing Director Steven Medwin. “Seeing national companies expanding here is a positive indicator for our regional economy, as their investments translate to additional jobs and increased business activity for our marketplace.”

With demand outpacing supply in South Florida’s industrial market, the region continues to see new spec projects breaking ground within submarkets like Airport West, Medley and parts of Southwest Broward County, according to Jones Lang LaSalle’s latest South Florida Industrial Highlights report. Currently, there are 10 speculative warehouses under construction in South Florida by institutional owners, such as Prologis, Industrial Income Trust, DCT Industrial Trust, and KTR Capital Partners.

Sunbeam Announces New Spec Building At Miramar POC

/in /by

Sunbeam Development has announced plans to build MPC-28, an 80,000 square-foot spec distribution building in Phase 4A of the Miramar Park of Commerce.

Scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2013, MPC-28 will be 32-feet clear, 165 feet deep and have a 145-foot non-shared truck court. In addition, the building will be equipped with an ESFR fire sprinkler system, which is ideal for warehouses and distribution centers and offers more efficient protection than in-rack systems.

MPC-28 will be adjacent to MPC-27, an 87,540 square-foot spec distribution building with identical features that will open in the Park later this year and is 55 percent leased. MPC-27 and MPC-28 are the first spec buildings in the Park since 2007.

“There is a growing demand for this space, particularly from national tenants that require state-of-the-art facilities,” said Andrew Ansin, vice president of Sunbeam Development, developer of the Park. “Strong leasing interest in MPC-27 led us to move forward with announcing our plans for MPC-28.”

In June, Sunbeam Properties broke ground on MPC-27, a 87,540 square-foot spec distribution building, also located in Phase 4A of the park. The building was the first spec building in the Park since 2007 and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2012.
