The company is leasing 24,200 square feet of space in MPC-11 at 2785 N Commerce Parkway.

“To find the place for our South Florida Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions business in today’s demand growing commercial real estate market was quite a challenge,” said Eugene Parfyonov of Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions. “Especially if you need a location that is close to cruise industry main players, must have ‘fit to purpose’ ratio of office and warehouse space that requires constant professional and customer friendly support from the property management team. Miramar Park of Commerce and Sunbeam Properties has it all and at a fair and balanced cost.”

Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions has more than 150 years of combined experience in the shipping and maritime service industries. With expertise in safety, HVAC, electrical and automation and insulation solutions, Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions provides solutions that help reduce installation time, cost and complexity, improve operational efficiency and minimize cost of ownership, and secure regulatory compliance.

“Large companies such as Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions, where efficiency is a top priority, not only require extensive warehouse space but also easy access to major roadways, and we’re able to offer that here at the Park,” said Maridee Bell, vice president of Sunbeam Properties, developer of the Park.

Bell and Ryan Goggins of Sunbeam Properties represented the Park in the transaction. Representing Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions was Tom Viscount of Butters Realty & Management.

Ryan Goggins Gets “Drilled” In Sun-Sentinel

You know you’ve really made it when…

Ryan Goggins, a leasing assistant at the Miranar Park of Commerce, was recently interviewed by Cindy Kent of the Sun-Sentinel.

The story reads:

Ryan Goggins, a leasing assistant at the Miramar Park of Commerce, credits his father with introducing him to real estate.

In college, Goggins majored in finance and real estate, and held a variety of internships within the industry.

Getting an education, work experience and developing contacts helped to make him hirable after graduation, Goggins says.

As the initial point of contact for leasing transactions, Goggins creates first impressions and helps to forge lasting relationships through strong customer service skills. He coordinates showing the property and prepares proposals and lease documents. Goggins also participates in negotiations and assists with the business park’s marketing efforts.

Before joining the Miramar Park of Commerce two years ago, Goggins was an acquisition and development associate with J.W. Harris and Company.

Details: Sunbeam Properties Inc., developer of the Miramar Park of Commerce, 10212 USA Today Way, Miramar, FL 33025. Phone: 954-450-7900

The drill-down:

Why are you a good fit for this job? I have a well balanced real estate background. I have held positions in development, finance, property management and residential and commercial leasing. I think this balance has developed my understanding of a company’s real estate needs.

This is a tough time for companies who might pull back on distribution sites, satellite offices and branches. We realize that our tenants’ needs are constantly changing, and we view our relationships with tenants as a partnership and work with them to create mutually beneficial long term partnerships.

What is the typical length of occupancy for a tenant, and how do you prepare for that cycle of renewals and getting new tenants?The typical lease term in the Miramar Park of Commerce is five years. Most of our business comes from servicing our current tenants. We maintain regular contact with them and build long-term relationships. Sunbeam’s ownership of approximately 4.5 million square feet within the park allows us to accommodate changing needs and retain tenants. The brokerage community is an invaluable source of new tenants: they serve as our eyes and ears in the market. Networking at industry events is critical to developing and maintaining these relationships.

What is the aspect to working in South Florida that sets you apart from your counterparts around the rest of the country? Two important factors that set us apart is our position as the Gateway to the Americas; and our high barriers to entry in the real estate market. With our location in proximity to the Americas and our large Latin population, South Florida is able to play the predominate role in trade to Central and South America. Having the Everglades and Atlantic Ocean as two physical barriers, development is constrained which strengthens our market for developers.

How do you parlay those factors into the business? We promote our proximity to the Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports and ports which is something that companies from, or working in, Central and South America look for when they are deciding on an office or warehouse location.

From the perspective of your industry, what fixes would you make to improve the local economy, and in turn, your industry? Florida must strive for a more diversified economy. Our industry will improve through an increase in manufacturing jobs and we have an opportunity to attract additional bio-medical and health care companies to the South Florida region. At the park we lease more than a million square feet of space to health care and pharmaceutical companies. Diversification and growth can be accomplished through legislation to make the state more business friendly.

What is the best advice you ever received? Measure twice, cut once. I try to be as thorough as possible to avoid mistakes.
