Easton & Associates has signed five new office leases totaling 88,260 square feet in Doral, with a government agency and clinical research company accounting for the two largest deals.
The brokerage division of The Easton Group represented the landlords in all five transactions, which span office buildings at 8600 NW 36th St. and 2001 NW 107th Ave. Easton & Associates Vice President Andrew Easton handled the deals for the property owners.
At The Offices of Doral Square, an eight-story building at 8600 NW 36th St. owned by The Easton Group, an undisclosed government agency leased 36,360 square feet as part of an expansion within Doral. Matt Bittel of Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant.
Also at Doral Square, global healthcare company Ocasa Life Sciences leased 9,000 square feet to accommodate recent growth. Reshma and Vishal Parvani of Parvani Commercial Real Estate Group represented Ocasa.
The largest lease at 2001 NW 107th Ave., a four-story building within International Corporate Park owned by Misopac Corp., was signed by QPS Miami. The clinical research company leased 33,655 square feet and will relocate its operations from South Miami. Estrella Martin of NuFront International Realty represented QPS.
Two additional tenants are joining the building. Law firm Angel Leal, P.A. leased 6,850 square feet, while telecom design and engineering firm SHR took 5,395 square feet.
Easton said Doral’s office market has benefited from a reduction in available inventory after more than 2 million square feet of older office properties were redeveloped in recent years without being replaced.
“Leasing remains strong in Doral,” Easton said, adding that shrinking inventory has helped push rents higher. Despite those increases, he said Doral remains more affordable than many other Miami office markets while offering another advantage to employers: proximity to where many of their workers live.
