Latitude One is pulling out all the stops in a tough commercial real estate market. Beyond leasing or owning office space in Birckell’s newest Class-A office building, you can now rent executive suites.
Latitude One truly offers a premiere business address. The building features 230,000 square feet of office space, distinguished by an elegant lobby and a wide spectrum of amenities like access to the Miami Riverwalk. With its executive suites, Latitude One will compete against the likes of Regus, Intelligent Office of Miami, 1000 Ponce, X Offices and Smart Space Miami.

Online shoppers can choose a customized phrase — such as Knick Knack, Home Sweet Home, or Jake’s Allowance — and then enter that phrase along with a PIN to quickly preview an order and complete a purchase. PayPhrase uses the preferred payment and shipping methods stored at Amazon.com and consumers don’t have to share sensitive payment information with multiple web sites.
