MIAMI-Southeast Financial Center just inked yet another long-term lease. Cozen O’Connor, a national law firm ranked among the 100 largest in the United States, has signed a lease renewal and expansion. More than 1 million square feet of the 1.2 million available in the office tower is now leased.

“When considering our space requirements and market options, it was a comparatively easy decision to remain at Southeast Financial Center rather than move to a building with unknown parameters of amenities and unproven building requirements,” says Richard Dunn, office managing partner at Cozen O’Connor. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cozen O’Connor pointed to a combination of current market recovery, including recent hires, and long-term growth projections for the Miami legal market, as reasons for expanding from 4,900 square feet to 8,900 square feet. The expansion includes a complete redesign of the firm’s existing and new office space in a move to increase efficiencies and upgrades to aesthetics.
