Exciting things are on the horizon for downtown Boca Raton!  The Archstone project is moving forward, and will bring new life to a stagnant stretch of East Palmetto Park Road.  Imagine over 300 new families living in a state of the art, upscale high rise apartment building, with townhouses and retail storefronts on the street level.  This beautiful building will be a jump start to the redevelopment of our downtown district.

Also on the horizon in the near future are the redevelopment of the Wildflower site, and later the long-awaited Via Mizner and Palmetto Park Place projects.

The office leasing market in Boca Raton is beginning to show some signs of life, although activity is still well below 2007 levels.  This remains a Tenants’ market, and we can assist you in locating an office that best fits your requirements, at a price and terms that will be very competitive.

At 555 South Federal Highway, in the heart of the financial district, we have two office suites for lease, both designed to accommodate 5 or 6 executives plus support staff.  These suites can be finished to YOUR specifications – your choice of flooring, wall coverings, trim and hardware -  and can be ready for occupancy in 30 days.

At 595 Financial Center, we offer a full floor penthouse corporate office suite, with 22 windowed executive offices plus support staff stations, a board room, conference room, break room, and more.

Each of these downtown buildings offers free covered garage parking, plus optional valet parking, as well as an on-site café and on-site management and maintenance.

At Glades Road and I-95, we offer completely renovated suites, from 650 square feet to 10,000 square feet.  Come see the beautiful new interior finishes at One Lincoln Place at 1900 Glades Road.

If you are looking for office space in Boca Raton– why go anywhere else? If we don’t have exactly what you need in one of our buildings, we can provide you with availabilities in every building in town, and we will assist you as your agent, in your negotiations with each of these landlords. We’ve already updated our market surveys – let us share this information with you.

If you are a landlord with an under-performing building, give us a call! We will be pleased to show you why our buildings have higher occupancy rates and higher rental rates than the competition. Our first class management and experienced, professional  marketing can make a big difference in your bottom line – Let’s chat!  Call (561) 206-3326.

Well, we made it through another holiday season, and now we can look forward into 2012. This will be a watershed year in Boca Raton, as we go to the polls in a few weeks, to determine the focus of our City Council for the next few years.

Our choices are clear cut: Will this be an election that creates a majority on City Council that will be pro-active on Business Development issues, or will we see a less aggressive Council, one that prefers to defer critical pro-business issues?

The office leasing market in Boca Raton continues to outperform the overall South Florida market, though activity is still far below 2007 levels, as we enter the fifth year of the current “down” cycle. Certainly this is a tenant’s market, and smart landlords recognize this. There are substantial short-term concessions on the table for credit-worthy tenants.

At Bryason Realty Corporation we understand the value of every single tenant, and we will spoil you! Feel free to stop by any of our buildings, knock on a few doors, and ask our tenants what it is like to be a Bryason tenant.

In Downtown Boca Raton, we offer Class A office suites at 595 South Federal Highway. The 595 Financial Center provides true Class A amenities – a grand lobby, covered garage parking, optional valet service, fabulous café and on-site management and maintenance staffs.

At 555 South Federal Highway, we have a few select Class B+ offices for lease, at very competitive rates. Enjoy all the amenities of the 595 Financial Center, at substantial cost savings!

At One Lincoln Place, located right at the entry to I-95 on Glades Road, we are leasing completely renovated offices in a completely renovated building. Come see our beautiful new interior finishes.

Things are really looking up here in downtown Boca Raton – the Fall weather brings with it a sense of optimism.

On October 21st and 22nd, downtown will come alive, with “Meet Me on the Promenade”, a two-day festival featuring downtown Boca’s best – royal Palm Place, Mizner Park, East Palmetto Park Road will all be alive with restaurant specials, dancing, a green market, and even a classic car show. Live entertainment will be provided in several locations, and there will be family and sports games, as well.

On October 15th, FAU hosts its first home football game in the new on-campus stadium. This promises to be a great event, and the start of a regular fall celebration for years to come. Go Owls!

The City Council adopted a small tax increase last week – taxes will still be far less than 2007 levels and still the lowest in the County, and our City will continue to provide the first class lifestyle for which Boca Raton is famous. This action by the City will insure the availability of funds for economic development as well, as we continue to bring new employers to our City.

In addition, the City Council has reviewed several proposals for the Wildflower site on East Palmetto Park Road at the Intracoastal. This review process has given the City a better understanding of the development potential for this vital site, which will anchor the activity for a revitalized Palmetto Park Road.

Here at Bryason Realty, we are thrilled this month to bring to market the most magnificent corporate office suite in Boca Raton – the penthouse floor at 595 Financial Center. True Class “A” space, with a gorgeous lobby and reception area, over 20 windowed offices with great views of the Boca Resort and Golf Course, the ocean, and downtown Boca Raton. Other features include a formal boardroom, two conference rooms, a full kitchen and breakroom, and space for 25 workstations.

We are also pleased to announce several new tenants at One Lincoln Place, a beautifully updated office tower located at the intersection of Glades Road and I-95. In addition, our Broward County division recently completed a full floor lease at Coral Springs Executive Tower!

As you can see, there is life in the local office leasing market. Please email or call us, for help in finding the right office space for your company. And for the property owners out there – let’s chat about how our leasing team can improve your occupancy rates!

Once again, a special thanks to our marketing team – Shane and Riley!

Each month we bring you news of leasing activity in the professional office market in the Boca Raton area.

Well – the effects of the uncertain national (albeit international!) financial markets continue to impact our local markets. Activity is certainly depressed, as businesses are sitting on the sideline – afraid to invest and expand.

However, there are some bright spots here in the Sunbelt – especially here in South Florida – and Boca Raton is certainly one of those bright spots. With the help of an insightful Mayor and City Council, Boca has just recently managed to keep Tyco in town, and to bring Garda to town, as well. This is the result of hard work by our City officials, the City Manager, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, and means many more high paying jobs for our City.

While leasing activity is still well below 2007 levels, there has been an uptick in new leases signed, vs 2008-2009-2010. At Bryason Realty, we have been pleased to negotiate several new leases at 555 South Federal Highway this month, as well as several leases at 1900 Glades Road. In addition, activity at Coral Springs Executive Tower has been very encouraging, as Bryason embarks on this new assignment.

At 595 Financial Center, we will be bringing to market this summer what I believe is simply the finest corporate office suite in South Florida. Over 13,000 SF of Class A space, with incredible Penthouse views, located in a truly prestigious building. And with all the amenities one could wish for – reserved covered garage parking, optional valet service, lobby café, and onsite management. This suite provides a spectacular lobby/reception area, over 20 windowed offices, a magnificent boardroom, two conference rooms, and a full staff break room, as well as a file and copy center and room for 20 large workstations. Call us for a full color brochure, photos and a floor plan.

Building owners: The Bryason portfolio continues to outperform the market, with higher rental rates and higher occupancy. How do we do it? Call (561) 206-3326 or stop by for a brief tour and we will be pleased to show you what we can do to improve your bottom line.

Each month we update you on the office leasing market in Boca Raton, with added background information on local developments that impact the Boca Raton commercial real estate market.

Well, spring has sprung! Daylight Savings Time is here, the weather is fabulous, and evening foot traffic in downtown Boca has increased noticeably. Work on Palmetto Park Road is nearly complete – with wider medians, beautiful new landscaping, traffic calming intersections and even a few wider sidewalks. Yet to come – crosswalk pavers and sheltering gazebos at key intersections. All-in-all, a pedestrian friendly environment, from Mizner Park to Royal Palm Plaza to East Palmetto shops.

The Festival of the Arts just concluded at Mizner Park, once again showing the world that our little town offers world class entertainment, in a fabulous venue, surrounded by great restaurants and shops. Add in our A-rated schools and expansive recreational amenities, and where else would you want to live, work and play?

Class A office space downtown continues to be in demand, and no new inventory is expected for 2 or 3 years. At 595 Financial Center we are preparing to bring to the market in June a full floor, penthouse corporate office suite, with all windowed offices – many with views of the golf course! At 555 South Federal Highway, we offer a variety of affordably priced, fully remodeled suites, from 1,000 square feet to 4,000 square feet. Rates are VERY competitive, and generous improvement allowances are available for qualified tenants.

At Glades Road and I-95, we are well into the renovation of One Lincoln Place. Come see the sparkling new lobby, elevators and common areas, as well as completely renovated office suites, from 800 square feet to 4,000 square feet. Building exterior renovations will follow in 2011.

Overall, the market still favors good tenants. Savvy Landlords with excess inventory are offering aggressive packages of rental rates, improvement allowances and concessions, to credit-worthy tenants. This is the time to make your move – the market has “bottomed out”, and rents can be expected to trend upward as we move from 2011 into 2012. Remember – if you require extensive construction, the design-permitting-construction phase can take 3 to 6 months. Plan NOW, for 4th quarter occupancy.

Landlords: Is your building struggling? Come visit us for a few minutes, and see how we maintain our properties and spoil our tenants. The proof is in the pudding! – higher rental rates and higher occupancy. Let us explain our marketing program to you. Call (561) 206-3326 for a friendly chat.

Let’s take a look at the office leasing market in Boca Raton.

As we move forward into 2011, it appears that we are bouncing along the bottom – no longer seeking new lows, and seemingly setting up for a rise through the balance of the year. This cautious optimism is evidenced by a noticeable increase in traffic, and a very slight tightening in rental rates and terms.

The increase in traffic is especially encouraging, as there are more start-up firms out in the market looking for space in 2011, while traffic during 2008-2009 and 2010 was largely composed of firms that were downsizing, or making lateral moves.

If you are out in the market looking for a new office location at this time, be encouraged. There is a great deal of second generation space available, both Class A and Class B space. While rates are beginning to stabilize, savvy landlords are still offering attractive packages of rental rates, rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances. Call us, and we will help you find attractively maintained buildings and realistically negotiable landlords.

In a highly competitive market such as ours, every little advantage is magnified. The appearance of a building, the level of maintenance and the quality of customer service are critical, and it is no coincidence that the cleanest buildings reflect the highest occupancy rates. During the past few months, Bryason Realty has leased several large office suites to firms that relocated primarily because they found the maintenance inadequate in their previous offices!

The downtown financial district in Boca Raton continues to lead the way, with the highest occupancy rates in town. In the absence of any new major office construction since 2005, this high demand should continue for the foreseeable future. The City’s commitment to improving the streetscapes in the downtown district will further fuel this recovery.

The I-95 corridor is always in demand, and there is a substantial inventory of space available here. The broad range of product and pricing makes this a tenant-friendly market. This includes Glades Road and Military Trail, as well as secondary locations.

If you are looking for office space in Boca Raton, please call or email us at Bryason Realty Corporation, and we will set up a tour for you. If you are a landlord with an under-performing building, come by our office for a brief meeting. We will be pleased to share with you our marketing plans for leasing office space.

We must be doing something right – our buildings regularly lead the local market in occupancy and rental rates, and we annually receive recognition for various “Deal of the Year” awards from professional real estate organizations. Call (561) 206-3326 for a friendly chat.

Exciting things are happening here in Boca Raton, as we enter the 2010 Holiday Season. Let’s take a look at the office leasing market:

Business is good in Boca Raton! Who wouldn’t want to live, work and play in Boca – where you can choose from any number of A-rated schools for your children, dozens of country club communities, miles of public beaches, and an unlimited variety of cultural events. All this, and one of the lowest tax rates in South Florida! Come on down!

This is a great time to be leasing a new office suite – before the recovering economy fully picks up steam, and after landlords have begun to respond to the depressed market of the past three years! Don’t wait too long – traffic is up, and equally important, there is a limited supply of first class space available, as there has been virtually no new construction over the past five years. Let us find you a building that has been renovated to today’s upscale standards, and is properly maintained, and we will help you negotiate a great rate and terms!

Bryason Realty will introduce you to those realistic landlords – where you can expect a fair, market rate package of rental rates and tenant improvement allowances. And where you can expect an equitable discussion of lease terms, from both the landlord and the tenant perspective.

In East Boca, on Federal Highway in the Financial District, we represent the 555 Building. This may well be the best value in the Downtown market – sharing the amenities of the award-winning, Class-A 595 Financial Center, at Class B rental rates! Enjoy covered garage parking, optional valet parking, a Café on site, and first class management and maintenance staffs on site, as well.

In the I-95 corridor, we represent One Lincoln Place. What are the three most important factors in real estate? – location, location and location! And what better location than right at the entrance to I-95, on Glades Road? Walk to great restaurants and shops; two blocks from Town Center Mall. And every office offers expansive windows. Total interior common area renovations are underway, and should be completed by year end. A new exterior appearance will follow early in 2011. Let us build you an office!

Call or email us, and we will put together a tour for you, together with a comparable analysis of competitive properties. We will make your search for office space a “one stop shopping” experience. We will save you time and money, guiding you through the leasing process.

If you own a building that is under-performing, please contact us. Come and visit us for a half hour, and learn how we regularly lead the market in achieved rental rates and occupancy levels. See what our commitment to hard work, pro-active marketing and professional oversight can do for your building. Our targeted internet marketing and strong, local networking have proven successful in both bull and bear markets. Now is the time to join the Bryason team. Call (561) 206-3326 to learn why.

Well, we made it through the summer doldrums here in South Florida, so let’s look ahead to the 4th Quarter, and the busy winter season ahead in Boca Raton.

As the snowbirds return, the most visible impact downtown will be the ongoing Palmetto Park Road improvements. For certain, there will be inconveniences, but the end result will be so worth it! – a pedestrian friendly environment for dining, shopping and entertainment venues! Looking to 2011, increased employment, rising consumer confidence and a more active local business community can only serve to speed up the revitalization of our downtown district.

The office market seems to be heating up a bit in Boca, though there is still a long climb back to 2007 levels. I am pleased to announce that we are officially 100% leased at 595 Financial Center! Thank you to all our cooperating brokers for your efforts in this regard.

In general, there appears to be some movement in the office leasing market, with a few mid-sized firms actively seeking new offices here in Boca Raton at this time. Tenants are very cautious, however, and are shopping the entire market before making any commitments. The conservative approach seems to be the order of the day.

Thanks for all of your feedback and praise regarding The Shane Report. I enjoy bringing you these video updates and sharing my 40+ years of commercial real estate experience. Please continue to chime in and let me know if there are any specific topics you’d like me to cover.

The keys to a successful leasing campaign remain unchanged – Realistic rental rates and lease terms, quality property maintenance, and professional property management. At Bryason Realty Corporation, we provide all of these services. Can we help you improve the performance of your building? Our marketing plan works – come visit us and let us show you how we can increase your occupancy.
