Greenspoon Marder has leased four floors at 200 East Broward Blvd., one of downtown Fort Lauderdale’s tallest office buildings. The firm will move all attorneys downtown, keeping portions of its Cypress Creek area office for support staff.

The new 64,964-square-foot lease expands what was formerly Ruden McClosky’s space in the tower. Greenspoon acquired Ruden’s book of business and many attorneys out of bankruptcy in November 2011.

Greenspoon has more than 160 attorneys in 10 Florida offices.

“We wanted to align our space needs with our business goals by bringing our lawyers closer to many of our corporate and banking business clients in downtown Fort Lauderdale,” co-founding partner Gerry Greenspoon said in a news release.

Sandra Andersen, senior VP for Jones Lang LaSalle, completed the lease on behalf of the building’s ownership, VV USA City, LP., an entity represented by Invesco Real Estate.

Greenspoon Marder was represented by Studley corporate managing director Thomas Capocefalo  and executive VP Gregory Katz.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the occupancy rate at the 21-story class A office building rises to 87 percent, with other tenants including PNC Bank and law firms Shutts & Bowen and Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Cole & Boniske.

“This transaction is a testament to the strengthening of the office market in the CBD, particularly along Broward Boulevard, as law firms like Greenspoon Marder look to solidify their presence in the Central Business District,” Andersen said in the news release.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
