MIAMI—In the largest office deal signed in Brickell this year, Royal Bank of Canada has renewed a lease. The office lease, which spans 65,009 square feet, grows the bank's footprint and business lines by 10,209 square feet in the building. Financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed.

801 Brickell is on a leasing streak. In the first six months of 2013, Jones Lang LaSalle, which represents the class A trophy tower, has inked 12 renewals, expansions and new leases. JLL drove up occupancy from 85% to 95% leased.

“801 Brickell provides South Florida companies with centrally located office space that has been recognized for its energy efficiency,” says Mark Yacovetta, director of global real estate at TIAA-CREF, the building's owner. JLL senior vice presidents Stephen Rutchik and Jonathan Kingsley exclusively represent the owner. JLL also manages the office building.
