Seller Hines paid $156.8 million for the 7200-7665 Corporate Center Drive park eight years ago. The new owner plans a series of exterior and interior upgrades, including the addition of new conference centers and a fitness center.

“Miami, which is a top 10 metropolitan office market in terms of forecasted rent growth, has a relatively diverse economy, strong ties to fast-growing Latin America, a large port, a well-developed trade infrastructure and a dynamic magnetism that draws domestic and international tourists,” said Vance Maddocks, president of Strategic Partners.
