Located in Downtown Miami, the property is adjacent to the MiamiCentral train station. In addition to Blackstone’s Technology & Innovations group, which occupies approximately 12% of the space at 2 MiamiCentral to accommodate the 200 employees it is hiring to join the technology team, the property has national, institutional tenants including Carlton Fields, Ernst & Young, New Fortress Energy and ViacomCBS.
