Metro 1 Properties named exclusive leasing and marketing agent for One Flagler

Metro 1 Properties, a Miami-based commercial real estate services firm, has been named the exclusive leasing and marketing agent for One Flagler, the iconic Morris Lapidus-designed office tower located along Flagler Street in the heart of downtown Miami’s bustling Central Business District.  Currently undergoing a dramatic multi-million dollar restoration, One Flagler features leasable office and retail space available for immediate occupancy.

Metro 1 Properties’ president Tony Cho will lead the team responsible for marketing the property regionally, nationally and internationally.  According to Cho, Metro 1 Properties will target a strong mix of professional service firms as tenants and owners, as well as jewelers and investors interested in long-term investment opportunities at one of downtown Miami’s premier addresses for business.

“One Flagler is a smart decision for business owners who want a Class A location, high-end quality product at an affordable rate,” said Cho.  “With rents on Brickell, Miami Beach and Coral Gables increasing to $40 to $50 per square foot triple-net, One Flagler offers a comparable product at one-half the price.”

The 145,000 square foot, 15-story office and retail property offers suites ranging from 300 to 10,000 square feet, accommodating the needs of both small and large businesses. One Flagler’s for-lease rates start at an accessible $25 per-square-foot gross with attractive first year incentives.  In addition, the building offers valet parking and has been upgraded with a new lobby, roof, elevator modernization, HVAC overhaul, as well as aesthetic upgrades to all restrooms and common areas to name a few.

“One Flagler presents a tremendous opportunity for small and mid-size professional service firms to rent at an attainable price point, in the heart of downtown Miami,” said Jeremy Green, managing partner of Apex, the firm managing the financing, renovation and marketing of One Flagler.  ” The CBD has the potential to become one of America’s great urban downtowns, alongside Chicago, Boston and New York, and we’re excited that the landmark One Flagler office tower is playing a part in the area’s historic revitalization and eventual transformation into a world-class city.”

Designed by famed architect Morris Lapidus, One Flagler offers a signature style evidenced by the building’s efficient design, practical floor plates and ample window lines. One Flagler is a timeless landmark that exemplifies utility and design for the modern business owner.
