MIAMI—Charter Place, a 101,829-square-foot office and retail complex in Coral Springs, FL, is starting to see some traction. Avison Young South Florida just inked four new leases spanning 52,782 square feet, increasing occupancy by a whopping 52%.

With the new leases, the mixed-use building's occupancy rises to 70%. Although a far cry from what the landlord would to see, it's a major improvement considering occupancy has doubled in the past 12 months.

Greg Martin, principal at Avison Young, worked with True North Management Group and Delma Properties Inc., the new ownership of Charter Place, to complete the recent transactions. As a result, the occupancy at Charter Place increased with high caliber tenants to nearly 70%.
