MIAMI-The entire leasing and management group for the 55-story Wachovia Financial Center Downtown has joined Cushman & Wakefield of Florida Inc., which recently took over leasing and managing the class A office tower. The group previously worked for CB Richard Ellis, which was handling the nearly 1.2-million-sf office tower’s leasing and management until this spring.The group includes Tim Prunka, a commercial real estate veteran who was involved in the tower’s development and has led leasing there for 13 years at three different times. C&W hired him as Wachovia Financial Center’s leasing director. Prunka could not be reached for comment by press time. He previously was a senior vice president of asset services for CB Richard Ellis.Also, Tim Keable will stay on as general manager and will continue to oversee dailyoperations of the building, located at 200 S. Biscayne Blvd. Keable was general manager of the center previously as well.In addition to these two changes, C&W has retained all of the center’s on-site property management, accounting and engineering staff to help with the property’s marketing and management, according to Tere Blanca, senior managing director and branch manager for C&W’s South Florida offices. “A large part of the building’s success over the years has been due to the dedication of these individuals, many of whom have worked at this property since the office tower opened in 1984,” Blanca says.C&W also said earlier this year that it planned to relocate its Miami offices to Wachovia Financial Center in May 2005. Current tenants include Wachovia Bank; Steel Hector & Davis LLP; Goldman Sachs; Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc.; Deloitte & Touche LLP; Ernst & Young LLP; White & Case LLP; and Bilzin, Sumberg, Baena, Price & Axelrod LLP.
