Exclusive representation for office, retail, and industrial tenants across Fort Lauderdale — Downtown, Las Olas, Cypress Creek, Flagler Village, and surrounding submarkets. No landlord conflicts. Free to tenants.
Fort Lauderdale sits at the heart of Broward County and functions as the commercial center of the Southeast Florida tri-county. The office, retail, and industrial markets each operate on distinct logic: a downtown core pulling Class A office tenants away from aging suburban product, a mature retail corridor running east-west along Las Olas and south into the port district, and a broad industrial market from Pompano south through Davie and west into Sunrise.
Justin represents Fort Lauderdale tenants exclusively. Office, retail, industrial, medical — full-service negotiation at zero cost to the tenant, across every Fort Lauderdale submarket.
The post-2020 shift has played out in Fort Lauderdale with Class A flight to quality downtown. Las Olas Centre, 100 Las Olas, and the newer downtown towers are pulling professional services tenants out of older B/C product in Cypress Creek and Plantation. Landlords on older product are aggressive on free rent and TI to retain and attract — 9-12 months free rent and $55+/SF TI on 7-year deals are current negotiation outcomes.
Las Olas remains one of the strongest urban retail corridors in South Florida, with restaurant concepts continuing to expand. Flagler Village absorption has been strong as creative and F&B concepts migrate into the district. Suburban grocery-anchored centers remain stable.
Industrial in greater Fort Lauderdale has been pulled by e-commerce fulfillment and last-mile distribution since 2020. Pompano rates have climbed significantly; Davie has seen strong absorption for mid-box industrial. Clear-height constraints in older product are the primary barrier to modern logistics users.
Justin lives and operates in South Florida. That's not marketing language — it's a substantive difference when you're negotiating against a landlord broker who tracks daily deal activity in the exact submarket you're considering. Justin tracks active deals, vacancy movements, and landlord financial pressure across every Fort Lauderdale submarket in real time.
When a landlord broker says the asking rate is $45/SF, Justin knows what the actual recent deals signed at — and what that specific landlord just gave the last tenant in free rent and TI. That information becomes your negotiating leverage.

Justin represents tenants exclusively across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties — but Fort Lauderdale is the heart of Broward and where a significant portion of his deal activity sits. He has deep submarket familiarity with Downtown, Las Olas, Flagler Village, Cypress Creek, Sunrise, Plantation, Pompano, and Davie.
Downtown Class A office rates run $45–$68 per square foot full-service gross depending on tower, floor, and view. Newer Class A product on Las Olas commands the upper end. Older Class B downtown product trades $32–$48/SF FSG. These are 2026 asking rates; actual deal rates are typically 8-15% below asking after free rent is factored in.
Class A industrial is concentrated north in Pompano and west in Davie, Sunrise, and Miramar along I-75. Within Fort Lauderdale proper, industrial product is older and clear-height constrained. Modern 32'+ clear logistics product is primarily in Pompano, Davie, and Miramar.
New lease: 60-120 days from initial engagement to signed lease, depending on space search length and complexity. Renewal: 30-90 days once negotiation actively begins. Fort Lauderdale landlords can move faster than Miami landlords; the market is less institutional and closer to owner-driven.
Yes. Renewals are a primary service. Engage 12-18 months before lease expiration for maximum leverage. Justin pulls comparable recent deals in your submarket, assesses your landlord's current leasing position, and builds a renewal strategy that recaptures market concessions you'd otherwise leave on the table.
Zero out-of-pocket to the tenant. Tenant rep commissions are paid by the landlord and are built into the economics of every commercial lease in Fort Lauderdale. You receive full representation — market analysis, tours, LOI drafting, lease negotiation through execution — at no cost.
Free consultation. No obligation. Justin will review your situation and lay out your options.
