FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Seeking a more creative environment for its advertising and interactive marketing firm, Starmark International has relocated to Ft. Lauderdale’s urban core. The agency inked a 10-year lease on 8,038 square feet at 200 S. Andrews Ave. for its new agency headquarters. Starmark will occupy the entire building. The firm relocated from Dania.

Rod Loschiavo and Jim Cahlin of Cushman & Wakefield represented Starmark in its site search and in lease negotiations with the building’s owner, 770 Ft. Lauderdale LLC. Steve Leeds, founder of Green Capital Realty Advisors, represented 770 Ft Lauderdale LLC.

Loschiavo, a senior director in CushWake’s Broward County office, tells GlobeSt.om that the location advantages of operating from Downtown Ft. Lauderdale and the building amenities caught Starmark’s attention. He cited the building’s open spaces and high ceilings as a good fit for the marketing communications firm.

“Downtown Ft. Lauderdale has become a nice place to live and work—and the focal point of the entertainment district for Broward County,” Loschiavo says. “Moving into a freestanding building in a project right next to the art museum plays well with the firm’s creative business. Starmark is the firm that recently promoted Fort Lauderdale in New York City’s Times Square by displaying bathing suits frozen in six-foot blocks of ice.”
