CREC, Florida’s leading, independent, full-service commercial real estate firm, brokered a long-term
lease agreement for Pollo Tropical to relocate its regional headquarters to The Landing at MIA in the
Airport West submarket of Miami, Florida.

The Miami-founded, international restaurant chain’s offices were formerly situated in the Dadeland
submarket, with a test kitchen in a separate location. Pollo Tropical sought a new space to allow
consolidation of all of its critical functions under one roof, officially occupying 10,000 square feet at 7255
Corporate Center Drive in late January.

CREC President and Co-Founder Carol Brooks and Senior Leasing Associate Katie Fernandez-Espinosa
represented Pollo Tropical. CBRE Senior Vice President Diana Parker represented The Landing at MIA.

“CREC was able to provide Pollo Tropical with streamlined services to find a unique setting that fulfilled
all of the brand’s technical requirements, as well as a cohesive workplace for employees,” said Brooks.
“Our team is deeply committed to achieving the best possible outcome for our clients, while bringing ease
and efficiency to the process.”

After undergoing significant enhancements, Pollo Tropical’s new premises now feature a world-class
training facility and culinary innovation center. Additionally, the expansive environment offers modern
offices that foster interaction and collaboration.

“The new space provides an ideal design layout and superb functionality to unify our various company
departments and processes,” said Glenn Rozansky, Vice President of Real Estate for Pollo Tropical.
“Further, The Landing at MIA affords a central location with abundant on-site offerings and creative open
communal areas, managed in a first-class manner, making the destination an attractive and productive
choice.”

The Landing at MIA underwent a recent renovation totaling $17 million to position it as a premier
product for office tenants seeking a dynamic, amenity-rich locale. Situated directly adjacent to Miami
International Airport, the 50-acre workplace community features a 5-Star Worldwide Amenities Center
with wellness and conference facilities, picturesque landscaping, contemporary interior finishes, and
spacious exterior patio and recreation areas.
