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.

Usar un Corredor / Agente de Bienes Raices Puede Ahorrar Tiempo y Dinero. Miami - Florida
El mayor beneficio al usar un corredor de bienes raíces es que él o ella puede ahorrar a un cliente - no costarle – bastante dinero. Bienes Raices, similar a otras industrias, cuenta con profesionales que dedican su tiempo a conocer, comprender, promover un determinado sector o ubicación. Por ejemplo, ComReal Miami se especializa en la venta y alquiler de propiedades comerciales - incluidos almacenes, bodegas, oficinas además de corretaje de negocios en Miami Dade.
A pesar de que comprar o vender una propiedad puede hacerse de forma individual, tal vez no es la mejor opción. Para ponerlo en perspectiva, en leyes, debido a la gran cantidad de información y regulaciones en nuestro sistema judicial, es necesario solicitar el asesoramiento y la representación de un abogado para asuntos legales. De la misma manera, un dueño o comprador de una propiedad comercial debería solicitar el asesoramiento y la representación de un experimentado corredor de bienes raíces para comprar o vender una propiedad.
Corredores de bienes raíces comerciales alrededor de los EE.UU., incluyendo Miami, tienen acceso a información que un comprador o vendedor no la tiene. En la actual "era informática", tener la información más actualizada es crucial y puede ser la diferencia entre ganar o perder dinero. Un corredor puede ofrecer a un cliente asesoramiento gratuito y asistencia para determinar las necesidades específicas. Además, un agente comercial puede ahorrar a los clientes tiempo y por lo tanto dinero, al pre-calificar a prospectos, realizar búsquedas y en general ayudar a mover el proceso más rápido.
Es importante mencionar que para experimentados inversionistas inmobiliarios e instituciones, los agentes de bienes raíces son una parte esencial de sus inversiones. Inversionistas experimentados reconocen que corredores/agentes calificados los ayudan a hacer dinero en tiempos buenos y malos. Estos inversionistas saben tomar ventaja del conocimiento e información que corredores de bienes raíces ofrecen.
Así que, sea un almacén o bodega en Doral, un espacio de oficina en Miami o la primera propiedad de inversión, es importante para un comprador / vendedor usar un agente calificado durante la transacción.

Why Use a Real Estate Broker? Simply: to Save Time and Money. Miami - Florida
The biggest benefit of using a real estate broker is that he or she can save a client – not cost – a lot of money. Real Estate, similar to many other industries, has professionals who dedicate their time to know, understand, and market a specific sector or location. For example, ComReal Miami specializes in sales & leasing of commercial properties –including warehouses, offices- and business brokerage in Miami Dade.
Although buying or selling a property can be done individually, it might not the best option. To put it on perspective, in law, due to the extensive information and laws involved in our justice system, one would seek the advice and representation of a lawyer for legal matters. In the same way, a commercial property owner/ buyer would want to seek the advice and representation of an experienced real estate broker when buying or selling a property.
Commercial Real Estate Brokers around the USA, including Miami, have access to information that a buyer or seller might not. In the current “information-age”, having up-to-date information is crucial and can be the difference between making or losing money. Also, a broker can offer a client free advice and assistance to determine the specific needs. Further, a commercial broker can save the client time and therefore money, by qualifying prospects, conducting searches and helping move the process faster.
One important thing to mention is that for experienced real estate investors and institutions, real estate brokers are an essential part of their investments. Experienced investors understand that good, qualified brokers make them money in good and bad times; these investors are able to tap into the knowledge and information brokers offer.
So, whether it’s big warehouse in Doral, office space in Miami or the first investment property, it’s important for a buyer/seller to use a qualified broker in the transaction.
