Tricera Capital, the Miami-based commercial real estate firm led by Ben Mandell, Alex Karakhanian’s LNDMRK Development and market leader Related Group finalized a lease expansion with New York-based hedge fund Schonfeld Strategic Advisors at the partnership’s Dorsey in the Wynwood neighborhood.

Schonfeld is doubling its office space at the Dorsey, adding a second floor to its previous lease at the mixed-use development. The lease expansion brings the Dorsey’s office component to 100-percent occupancy.

The roughly 18,000-square-foot lease expansion brings Schonfeld’s total Dorsey footprint to about 37,000 square feet. Terms of the lease were not disclosed.

“This is a testament to the quality of not only the Dorsey, but the Wynwood neighborhood as a whole,” Related President Jon Paul Perez said. “Firms like these can go anywhere in South Florida, but Wynwood is at the top of every list. The neighborhood has truly hit its stride and we look forward to continuing to drive its thoughtful growth.”

Tricera, LNDMRK and Related teamed up to develop the Dorsey, with renowned Arquitectonica designing the project. The property includes more than 300 apartments, 78,000 square feet of office, 33,000 square feet of retail and ample parking and open space.

“This is another example of high-profile financial firms showing their commitment to the Miami office market, with Wynwood remaining especially attractive to these firms,” Tricera President/Head of Leasing Dustin Ballard said. “The pandemic-era corporate migration to South Florida continues to take shape, as our region’s office sector keeps outperforming other major U.S. metropolitan areas. Relocation demand is still incredibly high as we begin 2023.”

Randy Abend and Paul Mas of JLL’s New York office and Matthew Goodman, formerly with JLL’s Miami office, represented Schonfeld in the Dorsey lease, while Cameron Tallon, Emily Brais, Eric Groffman and Randy Carballo of CBRE represented ownership.
