The Miami-based law firm has signed an eight-year lease for 10,273 sf on Northbridge Centre's 18th floor, gaining class A office space with dynamic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. The 13-attorney office, one of Kubicki Draper's 11 in the state, is planning an Aug. 1 move-in to 515 N. Flagler Dr.

"The main desire was relocation into the downtown area. Northbridge stood out due to its strength of ownership, quality of asset and location," says Jeff Holding, senior vice president in CBRE's Fort Lauderdale office.

He and CBRE's Jeffrey Kelly, a senior vice president in the Boca Raton office, represented Kubicki Draper in its one-year search for a downtown address. The law firm will exit 1645 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., its original location in the city.

Kubicki Draper, established in 1963, launched the West Palm Beach office more than 20 years ago to serve the counties of Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and Saint Lucie. 

Recognized as one the state's leading law firms, there are more than 90 attorneys and 175 support staff in its offices in Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Naples, Tampa, Orlando, Ocala, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Pensacola.

"Law firms are naturally drawn to Northbridge Centre because it's so close to the judicial center. Gaedeke adds to that competitive edge by providing a well-maintained building with best-in-class tenant services and amenities," says Kirk Fetter, vice president of leasing for the Dallas-based landlord.

The 288,233-sf office Northbridge Centre is one of 14 properties in the class A office portfolio with an Energy Star rating, which was first earned in 2008, and one of four to attain BOMA 360 Performance status.

With sustainable building practices as part of its mission, Gaedeke has submitted Northbridge Centre for LEED certification in an ongoing bid to "green" as much of the three million-sf portfolio as possible.

 To date, the U.S. Green Building Council has issued LEED certifications to seven buildings in the portfolio, including Gaedeke's first LEED Silver, which was recently awarded to Regency Plaza in Dallas.
