ORLANDO—With large financial services firms stabilizing and smaller firms in the Financial Insurance and Real Estate sector eager to grow, Orlando’s Central Business District—and even suburbs—are seeing plenty of office leasing action. The third quarter saw four significant FIRE lease deals.

Global insurer Zurich renewed a lease for 27,913 square feet at Maitland Promenade II in the Maitland Center submarket. Mortgage Masters, a Massachusetts-based and privately-owned direct mortgage lender, expanded into Florida with a 4,676-square-foot lease at Maitland Green II, also in the Maitland Center submarket. And PNC Bank expanded its office lease Capital Plaza One in Downtown Orlando by 8,674 square feet, bringing its total footprint to nearly 20,000 square feet.
