SoFla lease roundup: Intech leaving CityPlace West Palm for One Clearlake Centre & more

Intech HQ to relocate to One Clearlake Centre in West Palm Beach

Global investment management firm Intech is making a big transfer.

The company is planning to move its headquarters out of Related Companies’ CityPlace Tower and into the 221,000-square-foot One Clearlake Centre office high-rise in West Palm Beach.

Intech inked a 25,000-square-foot lease and will be filling up the tower’s top two-floors, according to a press release. The deal also gives the company exterior signage. The firm, which has about $50 billion under its management, is scheduled to occupy its new space by September 2019.

The lease brings the 19-story office tower at 250 South Australian Avenue to 68 percent leased, with asking rents in the tower ranging from $40 per square foot to $45 per square foot, CREC’s leasing director Mark Goldstein said. Other tenants in the building include Richman Greer law firm, Rosenbaum Mollengarden PLLC, BB&T, Prudential and Northwestern Mutual.

Built in 1986, One Clearlake Centre includes a five-story, 662-space parking garage. CREC’s Carol Greenberg Brooks, Goldstein and Robert Dabrowski oversee leasing and management of the property.

Velocis, a private equity real estate manager, paid $42.3 million for the property in July with CREC. The joint venture invested millions into renovating the building, including revamping its lobby areas, corridors and bathrooms. The partnership also added a creative tenant lounge and offers tenants a new wellness program.
