Miami, FL Dec. 9, 2014 — In a new to market deal, New York
based Spafinder Wellness, Inc. ® will move its global headquarters from New
York to the Miami market, leasing 10,047 square feet at MetLife’s Wells
Fargo Center in downtown Miami.
Brian Gale, Principal with Taylor Mathis, negotiated
the lease on behalf of building owner MetLife.
"We looked at a lot of potential spaces but MetLife's
Wells Fargo Center caught our attention immediately,” said Spafinder Chairman Pete
Ellis.
“It has fresh amenities, an ideal location, spectacular
views, and it fits the wellness-oriented, high-end partners we represent around
the world.
“In our search for a downtown location, we just could not
pull the trigger–but not with this building. We immediately saw us doing
business here.
“The energy in Miami is exactly the kind of vitality we want
to foster at Spafinder Wellness. Miami is at the crossroads of the Americas and
has been called ‘America’s City of the Future.’
“The business climate will be conducive to our continued
growth and further our mission to help people–including our staff– live well
every day.”

Ellis noted that the driving factors behind the decision
include a strong business environment that performs above the national average,
a lifestyle that is more conducive to healthy living and easier access to the
rapidly expanding Latin American/Caribbean wellness travel market.
“The Spafinder Wellness headquarter relocation to Miami and
specifically to Wells Fargo Center is a boon to the city and to our development
which continues to attract many of the country’s most prominent companies,”
stated Chuck Davis, Director and Head of the MetLife Southeast Regional Office.
Wells Fargo Center is one of MetLife’s premier developments and long-term
investments.
Spafinder Wellness has a global network of 20,000-plus spas
and fitness locations and is the world’s largest media, marketing and gifting
company for the wellness industry.
The company’s Corporate Wellness 365®
division offers incentive products and partnerships that help to foster
wellness in the workplace. Spafinder also has offices in London and Toronto.
“We are continuing to see strong interest at Wells Fargo
Center from new to market tenants,” stated Brian Gale. Taylor & Mathis has executed six new
leases this year at the building three of which were new to market tenants.
The 47-story tower will soon be home to
Spafinder Wellness, Inc., ® Moto Capital, Dentmall of Florida, Berkadia
Commercial Mortgage and La Prairie Group.
PwC moved its office from Brickell Avenue earlier this year and leased
43,277 square feet at the downtown tower.
