Brickell Lands Another Alternative Workspace

MIAMI—Anex Office is moving into Downtown Miami's Brickell Financial District. The executive office suites provider inked an 11,000-square-foot lease at the 32-story class A office tower. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Anex Office will occupy a full floor at 280,500-square-foot Brickell Bay, bringing occupancy up to 92%. Other tenants include AON, NEC Corporation, Syntel, Astigarraga Davis, the British Consulate, 1st United Bank, Au Bon Pain, and The Hackett Group.

“Shared office space is a growing trend in Miami,” says Brickell vice president Christian Driussi, who represented the building's ownership in the transaction. “With its strong reputation for luxury class A offices in South Beach and Dadeland, Anex Office complements Brickell Bay Office Tower's diverse tenant base, which has a strong mix of global tenants and local firms looking to grow their presence in South Florida.”

Anex Office offers executive office suites, meeting spaces, virtual offices, and secretarial services. The executive office suites are fully equipped with furniture and the business center offers cutting-edge technology.

“We've seen strong success with our shared office concept at our South Beach and Dadeland locations, but we've always wanted to bring our brand to Brickell,” says Augusto Zichy, president of Anex Office. “With Brickell Bay Office Tower's strategic location in the heart of Brickell's Financial District, we expect a strong reception from entrepreneurs and growing companies looking for alternative workspace.”

For its part, Pipeline, the first shared office space to open there, has wooed a mix of more than 250 entrepreneurs to its collaborative workspace.

“Our membership continues to grow and diversify, with new entrepreneurs joining Pipeline, adding new perspectives and bringing their expertise to our space,” says Pipeline cofounder Philippe Houdard. “Over the past year, we have observed collaborative encounters translate into business opportunities and connections among our members. We look forward to seeing the creative collaborations that develop next in our space.”
