Miami, FL, March 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) South Florida Chapter recognized Cresa South Florida professionals for negotiating creative lease deals at its “Celebrating Excellence” Awards gala on March 12.
The NAIOP annual awards program highlights companies and commercial real estate professionals for their outstanding contributions to the industry.
Cresa South Florida won “Office Lease Transaction of the Year” for its work on the Shutts & Bowen lease and “Unique Deal of the Year” for advising Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. the public-private partnership between the cruise line and Florida International University. Cresa was also a finalist in the “Industrial Lease Transaction of the Year” category for its work on the Starboard Cruise Services lease and a finalist in the “Office Lease Transaction of the Year” category for the TotalBank headquarters deal.
“Cresa South Florida had a strong year on the office leasing front and launched out into the industrial side of the market with veteran Sky Groden coming on board in January,” says John Marshall, managing principal at Cresa. “By focusing on the tenant’s advantage, we’re disrupting conventional approaches to leasing. That’s driving ROI for our clients and winning the attention of the local industry.”
