BAR investment group, which developed the Shops at Mary Brickell Village, announced last week that it is leaving Brickell for a new location: Coral Gables.
The move is yet more evidence of the Gables’ growing appeal, something ComReal has covered extensively in the past. It also indicates a growing trend of Brickell tenants seeking out new neighborhoods: both Gensler and Bolton Global Capital recently announced their moves out of the area, citing Brickell’s heavy traffic as a main driver for their decisions.
According to the Miami Herald, BAR bought a 4,000 square foot space in Ofizzina, a 16-story, 100,000 square foot office condo building at 1200 Ponce de Leon Blvd, for $3 million.
TSG Group, who developed the Offizina project, said sales have increased steadily over the last few months, and that there are only 7 units left in the building. Buyers include investors looking to lease the space and end-users like technology companies, law firms and wealth management firms.
One of BAR’s new neighbors will be ComReal. We are headquartered just a few minutes away at 51 Merrick Way, and we have played a significant role in the area’s growth and revitalization over the years. We are pleased to see more projects, tenants and developers moving in.
