WeWork has been bought out of their lease to occupy 146,000 square feet covering 10-floors at 830 Brickell by developers OKO Group and Cain International. WeWork was one of the first to sign a major lease at the Class A office tower in 2019 which was set to become their largest location Florida. Rents at 830 Brickell are now in excess of $125 PSF representing a 42% rise year-over-year. Construction on the tower is nearing completion.
Despite the WeWork opt-out 830 Brickell has signed leases with other top-tier office users at 830 Brickell, including Microsoft, international law firm Sidley Austin LLP, New York-based insurance firm A-CAP, private equity firm Thoma Bravo, CI Financial, Marsh Insurance, AerCap, and others.
The news comes as the Miami office market continues to boast one of the lowest vacancy rates with absorption faring better than other competing markets across the U.S, according to the Miami Downtown Development Authority’s 2021 Office Market Report. In fact, Downtown Miami was the only major urban office market in the country to achieve net-positive absorption in 2021.
