Blanca CRE identified a unique opportunity during COVID to leverage favorable market conditions, creating competition among landlords and negotiating premier terms including top-of-building signage. The team secured Insigneo’s headquarters at 1221 Brickell Avenue, delivered expansion rights that were later exercised to secure the building’s top two floors, and supported additional growth in Coral Gables and New York. The long-term advisory relationship has supported Insigneo’s expansion from approximately $8 billion to over $35 billion in supported client assets.
Blanca CRE conducted a full market assessment and initiated a competitive RFP process to create leverage for Dufry’s tenancy. At the same time, the team negotiated directly with the existing landlord, Prologis, to explore expansion options. By running both strategies in parallel, Blanca CRE secured a short-term expansion at Dufry’s existing rental rate—avoiding any increase in occupancy costs—while also structuring a long-term built-to-suit lease designed to support the company’s growth over the next decade.
Through benchmarking studies and market negotiations, Blanca CRE identified an opportunity to restructure the existing lease early, reducing the overall footprint and improving space utilization. The resulting agreement provided cost savings, flexibility for future growth, and a refreshed office environment aligned with the bank’s evolving operational model.
