Tere Blanca of Blanca Commercial Real Estate and Darryl Robinson of Oak Hill Advisors represented One Park Square developer Shoma Group in the transactions.
“One Park Square at Doral is an ideal address for companies and organizations like The Latin Recording Academy and Retailnova – tenants with strong international ties seeking proximity to Miami International Airport, South Florida’s major expressways, and the large residential communities of western Miami-Dade County,” said Tere Blanca, President and CEO of Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “In addition to its convenient location, One Park Square at Doral benefits from strong, well-capitalized ownership that is committed to this project and the Doral market over the long term. Assets like these are fueling the flight to quality trend that has prevailed for the past year.”
The Latin Recording Academy will relocate to One Park Square in the next few months, a move that was spurred in large part by Doral’s strong quality of life quotient, diverse business community, and continued emergence as a hub for companies and organizations.
“Among the driving factors in our decision to relocate to One Park Square was the concept of locating to an area that is fast becoming a magnet for very diverse entities, particularly those with strong ties to the Americas,” said Gabriel Abaroa, President of The Latin Recording Academy. “Also contributing to our decision was Doral’s vibrant retail base and track record of serving as national and regional headquarters to some of the largest companies in the city. As we look toward the future, we are excited to relocate our main offices to this beautiful facility, which will be home to our staff and our members."
