“Flagler Corporate Center will be transformed into the premier multi-tenant office destination catering to the largest office requirements in South Florida, including a floor with 100,000 contiguous square feet available,” said Messinger. “The proximity to the Florida Turnpike, Palmetto Expressway and Dolphin Expressway, makes Flagler Corporate Center the ideal building for corporate users seeking a central location in Miami-Dade County.”

 

“We are pleased to make this investment in South Florida where we see tremendous opportunity to reposition this asset, by upgrading and updating finishes and fixtures in common areas and lobbies and entrance to give it a more visible vibrant and creative feel as a multi-tenant building,” said Joseph Hoffman, CEO of Bushburg Properties.
