Why Wynwood?
To escape high rents, many companies are relocating to Class A buildings in Downtown Miami and Wynwood. These buildings accounted for 44% of the entire market’s absorption in the first quarter of 2022. Wynwood has dominated new development in office product over the past two years.
Tenants relocating to these submarkets are looking for buildings with Class A amenities, such as conferencing facilities, fitness centers (with showers), cafés or restaurants and updated finishes in the common areas. Proximity to restaurants and shopping, as well as easy access to Interstate 95, and other lifestyle considerations are also important factors.
Space is limited due to venue constraints, so buy your tickets soon before they sell out.
