Flexible Office Market in Miami
Miami has a strong global business community and is a center for commerce in Florida. It is also a hub for international business, finance and trade thanks to its large concentration of international banks in the country. It is also home to the biggest television production industry for the Spanish-speaking community in the US, with Telemundo and UniMAS having their headquarters in the city.
