Lease valuable office space today!
Port Everglades is the perfect location for your office! As the cruise and cargo gateway to the Caribbean and Europe, the Port offers easy access to domestic and international markets with panoramic views from many locations, offices designed to meet your needs and ample parking. Centrally located in South Florida, Port Everglades gives you the strategic advantage of being just moments away from the adjacent Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the state highway system (I-95, I-75 and Florida's Turnpike).

Individual office space from 400-6,000 square feet (for a total of 100,000 square feet of available space) is now available for lease in the Port Administration and Amman buildings (located in Midport). You'll be located just a short distance from the docks, the Foreign-Trade Zone and the cruise and cargo operational areas. Rental rates are competitive with the local market and includes:

• Walls with final finish
• All normal electrical outlets, overhead lighting and phone conduits
• Air installation including one vacuum air valve and thermostat
• Carpet
• Window treatments

Port Administration Building Located right off I-595, the six-story Port Administration Building features inside security gates, various office sizes and configurations, security desk staffed 24/7, elevators and views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport and Fort Lauderdale.
611 Amman Building With convenient entry from the 17th Street Causeway and S.R. 84, the 611 Amman Building offers inside security gates and three floors with various office sizes and configurations. The building is located on Eisenhower Boulevard near the Broward County Convention Center.
U.S. Customs House South Florida's only building designed by nationally renowned architect Louis Simon, the U.S. Customs House at Port Everglades will be available for office space pending renovations. This historic landmark, built in 1939, combines elements of Mediterranean Revival, Beaux-Arts and the modernist styles of the 1930s-40s. For decades, the Customs House served as a clearinghouse for all planes and vessels from foreign ports and the foreign registry. Architectural details include five large arches on the north façade with deeply recessed walls that surround double-hung sash windows and the front entry; scuppers that are inverted to collect water and a wrought iron lantern centered over the entrance.

Foreign-Trade Zone With the recent redevelopment and expansion of the Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ #25), Port Everglades offers even more reasons to locate your business on site. The original FTZ facility features safety fences, illuminated grounds, secure access and five high-end warehouse facilities with 388,600 square feet of space. Because of an increase in demand for space, the Port's FTZ provides several noncontiguous sites as well (39 acres at the Miramar Park of Commerce near the I-75 interchange and 91 acres at Westport Business Park in Davie, also conveniently located to I-75 and I-595). Companies located within Florida's largest FTZ receive the unique opportunity to defer, reduce or eliminate U.S. Customs' duties on products admitted to the Zone. Companies can also save on taxes, experience increased cash flows and can expand product and service distribution in the United States.
