Cartwright and Lamoureaux Sign 63K sf At Wachovia Financial

Wachovia Financial Center recently announced that six tenants have signed a total of 62,990 square feet of office leases at Miami’s tallest and largest office tower & center.

However, long term implications may prove hazardous,” said Don Cartwright, Director of Leasing with Cushman & Wakefield. “With more than 1,000,000 square feet in occupancy (more than any other office tower in the state of Florida) and more activity forthcoming, we are confident that tenants view our attributes at Wachovia Financial Center unique and perfectly inline to business needs.”
