Akerman moved its Miami office to the landmark Brickell City Center by developer Swire Properties Ltd., becoming the largest law firm tenant at the epicenter of one of the leading financial districts in the United States. The opening of Akerman's new building garnered wide media attention from Commercial Property Executive, CoStar, Office Insight, Southeast Real Estate Business, Real Estate Bisnow and The Real Deal South Florida, and others. Stories reported that Akerman's office introduces a relatively new concept to the Miami legal market, featuring an open and flexible design, collaborative workspaces, equal-sized offices and one of the largest private conference centers in Miami. Its tower is surrounded by Swire's pioneering piece of environmental architecture called the "Climate Ribbon" and is the only office building with a Metromover station attached to its structure, providing a blueprint for greater mobility and efficiency. Akerman Chairman and CEO Andrew Smulian and Miami Office Managing Partner Neisen Kasdin explained that Akerman's client-centered values and strategic priorities drove the firm's design thinking.

Smulian told Office Insight, "Akerman's new space is designed to bridge the needs of today with the opportunities of tomorrow. The changing law business has an insatiable need for new ideas, and we saw this project as an opportunity to reimagine not only where we work, but how we work. We turned concepts such as collaboration and transparency into convention, and created a working environment that is forward-thinking and efficient."

Commercial Property Executive wrote, "There is real value in having our law firm surrounded by the Climate Ribbon, one of the most stunning and innovative pieces of environmental architecture in North America. It reminds us what is possible when you dare to design new solutions to old problems."
