Cushman & Wakefield has announced that the commercial real estate services firm has arranged a new long-term office lease of approximately 20,000 square feet at 701 Brickell for Aon Insurance Company.

The trophy asset also contains other notable tenants like Holland and Knight, Facebook, Bank of America, Kaseya, AIG, EFG Capital and Alliance Bernstein.”

The 701 Brickell office building spans 33 stories and is situated on Brickell Ave. and Biscayne Bay. The LEED Gold Certified and Energy Star labeled building features efficient floorplans with unbeatable bay views, a conference facility, tenant only fitness center, covered parking accessible from Brickell Ave. or SW 8th St. and various on-site retail establishments. 701 Brickell is also at the center of Miami’s business community and located near 31 distinct transit routes.

“As the largest owner of Class A office on Brickell Ave., we have seen unprecedented tenant demand over the last 24 months. We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Aon to 701 Brickell on our 32nd Floor with expansive views at a time when our substantial building lobby and amenity renovations are completing as well. We look forward to including them in our impressive tenant roster for years to come,” added Charles Russo, Nuveen Real Estate’s Southeast Regional Head for Office and Life Sciences.
