The complex, on 12 acres at 3655 N.W. 87th Ave. in the Doral area, consists of a 10-story building and a six-story building. The buildings are connected by a conference center. Previously, Carnival handled facilities management in house.
"The decision to outsource the management of our headquarters facility was an easy one," says Paul Zacharski, Carnival Cruise Lines' SVP of finance and administration. "Their (Cushman & Wakefield's) expertise in managing commercial real estate will allow us to focus more attention on our core business operations."
The team that will manage the complex includes Douglas G. Campbell, C&W's executive director based in the company's local office, Michael Mire, a senior managing director of asset services in the company's Houston office and Steve Sumell, director of asset services for C&W in Florida.
"In addition to handling daily building operations for the Carnival-owned complex, Cushman & Wakefield will provide maintenance for critical building infrastructure systems for Carnival Cruise Lines' main call center," Campbell says.
The assignment includes lease administration and strategic equipment maintenance for three Carnival leaseholds in the Doral area, Miramar, FL, and Colorado Springs, CO.
Richard Heidelberger, a senior facilities manager for Cushman & Wakefield, will be the on-site manager.
Carnival Corp., a cruise vacation group with 13 cruise brands, uses three floors of the 10-story building. Carnival Cruise Lines takes up the remainder of the complex and has its main reservations center there.
