Blanca Commercial Real Estate, exclusive leasing agent for Waterford Business District (WBD), announced 117,764 square feet of leasing activity at the office campus, reinforcing the district’s continued appeal among both expanding companies and long-standing corporate tenants seeking highly connected, amenity-driven workplaces in Miami.

The district has undergone extensive renovations and enhancements, including redesigned lobbies, upgraded outdoor environments, a state-of-the-art conference center, waterfront gathering spaces, fitness facilities and collaborative tenant lounges.

Additional mobility initiatives include shuttle connectivity to the Miami Intermodal Center, alongside planned e-bike offerings and expanded transportation infrastructure designed to enhance accessibility and employee convenience. The campus also offers curated tenant programming ranging from outdoor wellness activations to food truck events, supported by a dedicated tenant mobile app providing access to events, amenities and exclusive offerings.

“Today’s office users are far more selective about where and how they occupy space, which continues to validate our long-term investment strategy at Waterford Business District,” said Robert Amick, Office and Strategic Investments, Nuveen Real Estate, one of the joint venture investment partners. “The combination of sustained renewals alongside new tenant growth reflects the strength of the campus as both a business destination and an ecosystem designed to support evolving workplace expectations. We continue to see strong demand from companies seeking highly connected environments with meaningful amenities, mobility infrastructure and a sense of community that extends beyond the traditional office experience.”
