MIAMI, July 20, 2017 — Cushman & Wakefield announced today that it has negotiated a long-term office lease renewal with Liebler, Gonzalez & Portuondo at Courthouse Tower in downtown Miami.

Liebler, Gonzalez & Portuondo has been a long-term tenant in the building and employs more than 60 people at Courthouse Tower. The firm also has offices in Orlando, Tampa and New York.
“Liebler, Gonzalez & Portuondo saw an incredible opportunity to immediately reduce their real estate costs and capitalize on up-front cash savings by extending their lease well in advance of their natural lease expiration,” said Levy.

The asset features panoramic skyline views, a large conference room, fitness center, storage and a Sabadell Bank branch and ATM.
