 MIAMI, FL – Florida East Coast Realty (FECR) has announced the company’s recent move to its 1101 Brickell office property. FECR is now occupying the entire 17^th floor, which consists of approximately 8,500 square feet.

This is due to the planned 2023 demolition of its former office building, located at 100 South Biscayne Boulevard. The site, which encompasses two full city blocks, is being redeveloped as FECR’s grandest project to date: the new One Bayfront Plaza.

 

This 1,049-foot, landmark tower will be the tallest structure south of New York and include over three million square feet of Class-A office, luxury residential, a marquis convention hotel, and an upscale retail mall.

FECR originally acquired the property in 1989 and operated its headquarters in the building for nearly 30 years.

 

“Although 100 South Biscayne has provided us with so many incredible memories of the growth and evolution of our organization, this redevelopment process now affords new opportunities to create another vibrant, signature project that will contribute to Miami’s impressive skyline and economic activity,” said Jerome Hollo, Co-CEO.
