MIAMI—Dolphin Commerce Center in Doral just secured a 108,000-square-foot lease renewal with Roca Tile Group. That means Miami remains the international ceramic tile solutions company's North American logistics hub. John Vaught, senior vice president at Transwestern, represented the Roca.

“Having represented Roca in its original lease negotiations at this location, and a long-standing relationship with The Roca Group nationwide, we had a keen understanding of its core real estate requirements,” says Vaught. “Almost a decade later and coupled with the enhancements to the Port of Miami, Miami, and in particular Dolphin Commerce Center, is still the ideal location for our client from which to manage its North American operations.”

Of the 108,000 square feet leased by The Roca Tile Group, 15,000 square feet account for class A office and showroom space while the other 93,000 is class A warehouse. Proximity to the Port, airport and wholesale distribution opportunities, and the modernization and ongoing enhancements of the Port of Miami were key factors in solidifying this transaction, according to Transwestern.
