Crocker Partners Completes $15M Renovation of SunTrust International Center in Miami CBD

MIAMI — Crocker Partners has completed a $15 million makeover of its 31-story SunTrust International Center, a 449,000-square-foot office tower in Miami’s central business district (CBD). The renovation includes a redesigned lobby and streetscape, 4,000-square-foot bayview sky terrace, complimentary tenant fitness center and a new conference facility. The renovation also includes 20,000 square feet devoted to fully finished office suites for companies new to the market and for growing start-ups. The building is LEED Silver-certified, has 11 high-speed elevators and on-site amenities including a restaurant, pharmacy and banking. Among recent leasing activity at SunTrust Center, the Daily Business Review, Marcum LLP, US Legal and BastAmron recently renewed and/or expanded their leases along with several other long-time tenants totaling approximately 72,000 square feet. SunTrust Center will have the largest contiguous block of space available in the CBD — 116,000 square feet — when Akerman LLP vacates later this year. Jon Blunk, Cristina Glaria and Laurel Oswald of Cushman & Wakefield are the leasing agents for the office tower.
