State Street Realty President George Pino, SIOR, RPA was named “Industrial Broker of the Year” during the Chapter’s recent 2015 Annual Awards of Excellence Awards Gala.

State Street Realty closed over 300,000 square feet of office and industrial sale and lease transactions valued over $16,500,000 in the past 60 days.  State Street Realty President George Pino, SIOR, RPA, Executive Vice President Ed Lyden, Associate Brian Cabielles and Leasing Associate Ana Lopez working on behalf of Landlord’s Prologis and various other clients completed these transactions together in March and April of 2015.
According to Pino, “In the Miami Airport/Doral area, vacancy continues to decline and rental rates continue to increase. We are definitely in a Landlord’s market right now. Many companies are expanding and more large industrial tenants are looking for space typically in the industry sectors of contract logistics, e-commerce, construction, aviation, flower distribution, produce, technology and freight-forwarding. Also, it is important to note that industrial land supply in the Miami Airport area is constrained as other uses such as mixed-use residential communities are taking priority over once planned industrial parks. All of these dynamics are being fueled by Miami’s global brand as a top international city to conduct business.”
