FC Barcelona, one of the world's most famous soccer teams, is coming to Downtown Miami as it prepares to open a new office at One Biscayne, after signing a lease at the tower owned by CP Group.

The football club leased a move-in ready suite totaling 2,410 square feet at the newly renovated 38-story tower for its North American headquarters. FC Barcelona announced plans to relocate its North American operations to South Florida from New York about a year ago because of Miami's increasing prominence in the soccer world, Joan Laporta, the club’s president, said at the time.

Miami has become a hub for the sport in the U.S. and a key market for FC Barcelona's business, Laporta said in a statement from April 2025.

CP Group recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of the tower, adding a new conference center and fitness club, upgrading the building’s café and convenience store, and a new lower-level lobby eatery and lounge occupied by the Heal Café. Blanca Commercial Real Estate is in charge of leasing at One Biscayne.

“Miami’s office market has clearly moved beyond the initial wave of relocations into a more sustained phase of growth. Companies are no longer testing the waters, but they’re making long-term commitments, which continues to drive leasing activity and sustained demand for best-in-class office space," said Tere Blanca, CEO of Blanca CRE, in an email to CoStar News.

FC Barcelona's move comes as Miami gears up to host the World Cup later this summer. FIFA, the tournament's organizer, opened an office of its own in nearby Coral Gables about two years ago. Lionel Messi, who got his start at FC Barcelona and is one of the most famous soccer players in the world, currently resides in Miami where he leads the professional soccer team Inter Miami as captain.

One Biscayne lures additional tenants

Beyond FC Barcelona, four other companies recently signed leases at One Biscayne. The new tenants include Reimagined Parking for a 3,183-square-foot space; law firm Levey & Associates for a 3,130-square-foot speculative suite; Drummond Advisors, an accounting and business management consulting firm, for 2,666 square feet; and Kirkwood, an investment bank and wealth management firm that plans to relocate its headquarters from about a mile away to a 2,022-square-foot space.

Two additional tenants renewed their leases at One Biscayne, including law firm Goldberg & Rosen’s 12,628-square-foot lease and global shipping company CMA CGM’s 20,173-square-foot office. The seven deals total approximately 50,000 square feet of leasing activity at the tower that was built in 1972.

Rare Edgewater Assemblage Trades For $17M As Similar Sites Disappear

The sale equates to roughly $281 per square foot of land. Ursus Inc., which has since merged into 22 CO, sold the property to 110 NE 23rd Street Realty LLC. The purchase adds to a run of land trades along the Edgewater-Wynwood line, where large, assemblable sites have become increasingly scarce as both neighborhoods have filled in with new development. The Edgewater Development Site is among the largest single parcels to change hands in the area this year. “This stretch between Edgewater and Wynwood is one of the last places in the urban core where you can still assemble more than an acre under one zoning designation,” said Cary Cohen, Executive Vice President at Blanca Commercial Real Estate. “When a site like that comes together, it draws real competition, and that’s exactly what we saw here.” The site sits at 50, 60, 68 and 76 NE 23rd Street and 49 and 51 NE 22nd Street, within an Opportunity Zone and zoned T6-8-O, which allows up to 300 units per acre with a density boost the Miami City Commission approved for the neighborhood. The parcels also qualify for additional height and density under Florida’s Live Local Act. The site sits between Wynwood and Biscayne Bay, a few blocks from Margaret Pace Park. “Edgewater is running out of sites this size,” said Cohen. “The neighborhood has pulled in real capital since 2020, and the parcels large enough to support a ground-up project of any scale are getting harder to find every year. Buyers who can move quickly on land like this are proving that out in real time.” Edgewater has drawn roughly $500 million in property investment since 2020, according to Blanca CRE, as projects including Aria Reserve, Missoni Baia and Cove Miami have delivered or broken ground nearby. Developers can unlock additional density through a payment into the city’s Resilience Trust Fund. Key Facts Sale price: $16.5 million Buyer: Melo Group Property type: Development assemblage Location: North Miami Avenue and Northeast 13th Street, near Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood Total land area: Approximately 35,000 square feet Zoning: T6-24a-O mixed-use zoning Development potential: Up to 24 stories, with additional height potentially available through bonuses Future plans: No development proposal was announced at the time of the sale Share this entry You might also like CBRE Arranges New HQ Lease For Crystal Cruises Risk Management Company Inks Miami’s Largest Office Lease Transaction YTD Blanca Commercial Finalizes 31,500 SF Office Lease With Auto Insurance Carrier Blanca CRE Inks Nearly 50K SF Of New Leases, Renewals At O Towers Related And Shoma To Develop Mixed-Use Project New 11-Acre Mixed-Use Development In Downtown Miami Signs Two Major Office Tenants
