In the coming months, three diverse companies—a bank, an IT firm, and a provider of autism therapy services—will be relocating to a 24-story office tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Pebb Capital, Intalex Capital, and CDS International Holdings revealed that their 110 East Broward Boulevard building, a 24-story structure, is now 64% leased, following a series of office lease agreements over the past 15 months.

The largest tenant will be ABA Centers of America, a South Florida-based provider of autism therapy. Listed among the fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine and the Business Journal, ABA Centers will occupy 48,000 square feet across the building’s top three floors. The company had originally planned to occupy a single floor but will now take up more space once construction is complete in January, according to ABA’s Director of Public Relations, Katie Murphy.

Founded in 2020, ABA Centers specializes in autism treatment at its facilities in Florida, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The company is also preparing to open a 13,341-square-foot testing and treatment center near South University’s Royal Palm Beach campus.

Seacoast Bank, the sixth-largest bank headquartered in Florida, will open a 7,795-square-foot retail branch and office on the building’s first floor in May. Based in Stuart, Seacoast Bank made notable acquisitions in 2022, purchasing Miami’s Apollo Bank for $168.3 million and Coral Gables-based Professional Bank for $489 million.

Chelsea Technologies, a New York-based IT services provider for hedge funds, banks, and private equity firms, will take up a 3,221-square-foot office on the 20th floor. Chelsea is scheduled to move in June, relocating from its current office at 101 N.E. 3rd Ave in Fort Lauderdale, according to a spokesperson for Pebb Capital.

Travis Herring and Katherine Ridgway of Cushman & Wakefield represented the building’s landlords in the lease negotiations.

In May 2023, the South Florida real estate firms Pebb, Intalex, and CDS acquired the 110 East Broward Boulevard building for $43 million. At the time of purchase, the 1982-built office tower was only 28% leased, as noted in a press release from the owners.
