Miami Design District Associates, BH3 Partner to Develop 20-Story Office Building
Why this matters
Office continues to trade in two distinct markets: trophy assets in walkable submarkets that are leasing at or near record rents, and commodity Class B and C buildings where the basis is still resetting. Underwriting on the latter has moved toward replacement-cost-minus, with credit underwriting now leaning on tenant covenant and remaining lease term rather than mark-to-market expectations. Miami continues to absorb foreign capital and high-net-worth domestic migration. Brickell and Edgewater multifamily cap rates have led the recent compression, and hospitality continues to clear at premium basis on the back of constrained supply. For LP-positioned capital, the read-through is that the bifurcation is now a structural feature of the sector, not a cycle to wait out.
