ComReal Miami Visits Port of Miami for Imports and Exports

During the World Trade Week in Miami, week of May 17^th, Industrial Associate Edison Vasquez visited the Port of Miami to stay connected with all importers and exporters. The Port of Miami is currently expanding the meet the increase in traffic of vessels coming in; additionally, with the increase of capacity of the Panama Canal in four years, the Port will experience a dramatic increase in the flow of vessels. Although the Port is one island, it’s currently separated between Cruise (passenger) ships and Cargo Ships. According to the Port Authority, this is done to provide a more efficient flow of cargo toward Warehouses in Miami and passengers toward Miami International Airport.

In the Cargo section, the Port Authority informed that surprisingly the biggest trading partners on the port are 1. China 2. Hong Kong 3. Honduras. Further, the authority informed that 40% of the traffic that comes through the port is created by one company, SEABOARD Marine.

Important facts to note during the visit are: Approximately 600 cars are sent from the Port of Miami to Dominican Republic every week; these would later be sent to other countries is South America since these countries would not allow the direct import of cars from Unites States. Also, the Port of Miami sold four of its cranes to ports in Colombia, Santa Martha and Barranquilla; the Port plans to get new cranes to accommodate its increase in traffic.

ComReal Miami Office Market Newsletter April 2010

It is a Tenant's Market

For the tenant there is not a better time to secure a lease in a market where rental rates are historically low and vacancy rates are historically high.

Vacancies continue to rise which has resulted in lower rents and decreased rental income for landlords. This trend is expected to continue in 2010 with new building deliveries and tenants renewing for smaller spaces.

The Miami market has 2 new LEED certified office towers. 1450 Brickell is now leasing with immediate tenant build-out. Met 2 is aiming for 2nd quarter 2010 delivery. Together they add 1,335,305 square feet of LEED certified office space to the market with Brickell Financial Center at 605,886 square feet scheduled to deliver in late 2011.




Forecast Report


ComReal Office focuses on Tenant/ Buyer Representation

Why do you need an effective Tenant/ Buyer Representative?

Real estate decisions can significantly impact your business positively or negatively. In order to make sure your decisions have a positive effect on your business, there needs to be careful consideration of your business objectives and financial strategy. Great space can boost morale, assist in recruiting and retention and improve productivity. Cost-effective space can increase profits, reduce liabilities and yield a competitive financial advantage. Without effective Tenant/Buyer Representation you might be taking an unnecessary and expensive risk. Tenant Representation puts you in the driver's seat by providing you a thorough education of the current market conditions, current lease rates and corresponding concessions, advice on risk factors associated with some developments, and guidance through the negotiations of a multi-page lease document that are usually written in the landlords favor.

Strategies and Solutions for a more efficient work environment.

What is a more efficient work environment?

It can mean a smaller space that feels more spacious than a larger space due to careful space planning and the use of glass walls and partitions. It can mean utilizing raised flooring and modular walls so there is built-in flexibility for expansion and contraction of your business. It can mean more efficient and healthier HVAC and lighting options. It can mean taking advantage of the newest communication technologies and saving time and money by telecommuting, teleconferencing, and ultimately reducing the size of the physical office space that is necessary to run your business. It can mean retaining your current space with a carefully re-negotiated lease to ensure you have uninterrupted service and no downtime for relocation. A more efficient work environment increases productivity and profitability simultaneously.

The Commercial Real Estate Revolution

Last night Bill Black, co-author of The Commercial Real Estate Revolution, offered up a humorous and convincing case for shifting the way we design and build buildings.

The book was the outcome of Mindshift, a consortium of progressively-minded corporate real estate interests that are studying how corporate facilities are currently being designed and built. By proactively addressing the full life cycle of a project, Mindshift seeks business cases for sustainability that result in lower costs, better ROI and higher quality working environments for clients.

He suggests a new paradigm in building and design where quality and performance are the guiding principles.

The book is a must read for all of us in this industry. Much to think about.
