The newly unveiled Richard Meier-designed lobby space at Citigroup Center (PRNewsfoto\/Crocker Partners)<\/p><\/div>\n

Miami\u2019s Citigroup Center is ready for its closeup. Crocker Partners, which acquired the 803,000-square-foot office tower<\/a> for $262 million in 2012, recently revealed the outcome of\u00a0its\u00a0$20 million renovation of the property.<\/p>\n

Citigroup Center\u2019s revamp included a facelift, almost literally\u2014Crocker restored the 34-story high-rise\u2019s glass fa\u00e7ade. And with the help of architecture firm Richard Meier & Partners, the lobby of the three-decade-old tower at 201 S. Biscayne Dr., was upgraded and the ground-level retail spaces were reinvented.<\/p>\n

Crocker\u2019s renovation program has also provided Citigroup Center with bragging rights in the local meeting space arena: the building is now home to the largest tenant amenity conference center in the downtown market.<\/p>\n

“Tenants are looking for amenities that fuse work and play and we believe that Citigroup Center will be a wonderful addition to the Downtown market,\u201d<\/em> Angelo Bianco, managing partner of Crocker Partners, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Even pre-makeover, Citigroup Center was a magnet for office users seeking trophy-quality accommodations. The building is home to the likes of Morgan Stanley and anchor tenant Citigroup, which inked a 15-year lease renewal<\/a> for 125,000 square feet in 2015.<\/p>\n

A STRENGTHENING MARKET<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Miami-Dade office market is the strongest in South Florida, and continues on the upswing, buoyed by an increase in employment, according to a third-quarter report by Avison Young. Class A space is in demand, with growth in the financial and professional services sectors leading the call for premier square footage.<\/p>\n

Overall, the forecast for the Miami-area office sector is a sunny one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
