The decision to sell the headquarters in Doral, Miami, which Carnival has owned for around 30 years, signals a strategic shift for the cruise giant, the report added.
While Carnival plans to remain in its current location for the next two years, the move to sell represents an opportunity to unlock significant value in Miami’s burgeoning real estate market.
The decision aligns with a broader industry trend of companies adjusting their office spaces to match evolving work dynamics.
As per the report, Brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield Plc is facilitating the sale, indicating Carnival’s intentions to streamline its operations and optimize real estate assets.
The impending sale underscores the shifting dynamics in commercial real estate as companies navigate the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Carnival’s decision also highlights the competitive landscape within the cruise industry, with rivals such as Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:RCL) and MSC Cruises SA making strategic moves in the Miami region.
