The leases, which total 52,782 square feet, increase the occupancy at the building by 52 percent and mark the second time Avison Young South Florida has doubled occupancy at a property within the last 12 months.  Earlier this month, Avison Young announced 43,000 square feet in new lease transactions at Lynn Financial Center, bringing occupancy from 35 to 75 percent.
Greg Martin, Principal at Avison Young, worked with True North Management Group and Delma Properties Inc., the new ownership of Charter Place, to complete the recent transactions. As a result, the occupancy at Charter Place increased with high caliber tenants to nearly 70 percent.
“We are very pleased with the progress that we have made in such a short time,” said Mr. Martin. “The new ownership has been very cooperative in understanding the market and the needs of the Coral Springs tenant base which assisted in our leasing efforts.”
Charter Place is the first phase of the new Downtown Coral Springs, a public/private partnership between a local developer and the City of Coral Springs.
“Charter Place is a high quality asset which attracts and retains gold standard businesses,” said Todd Benson, Vice President, Florida Region, at Delma Properties. “The new additions will complement the existing marquis tenant mix including Merrill Lynch, First Southern Bank, and Wells Fargo.”
