MIAMI-Jones Lang LaSalle’s Miami office has been appointed to market 30 acres of land with a two-story 160,000-square-foot office building currently serving as the US Southern Command Headquarters in the city of Doral west of Miami International Airport. The property has the vested rights for up to 450,000 square feet of office space.

Richard Schuchts, senior vice president at Jones Lang LaSalle, who is working on the assignment, says that the property should appeal to anyone dealing with the US government within the southern hemisphere. “You have a bunker with a secure building,” says Schuchts, which should be attractive to prospective buyers or tenants for whom security is of paramount importance. Plus, he says, there is a lot of parking, which is in short supply in many locations in Miami-Dade County, especially in downtown.

Because of the US Southern Command being at this location, it is fed by two separate Florida Power & Light grids, says Schuchts. This means that the facility would be first to get electricity restored after an emergency. With two separate grids, either one can serve the building, he says.
