Willis Group Holdings Public Limited Company announced the expansion and relocation of its South Florida headquarters to 1450 Brickell Avenue, Miami. The move is part of Willis' strategy to elevate its presence in the state and region and drive growth in this key market. For its new headquarters, Willis has signed a 10-year lease with Rilea Group to occupy 19,000 square feet at 1450 Brickell Avenue, a highly visible property in the heart of Miami's financial and downtown district. This move further highlights Willis' commitment to the South Florida community and will enable Willis to better serve its clients via its local service delivery model. In addition, the global economies of the county's key trading partners, including Latin America, Canada and Asia are growing at a solid pace and will continue to be an important source of economic strength. The new facility will serve as the South Florida Headquarters of Willis' retail insurance brokerage operations, a business that serves more than 3,000 local clients, placing employee benefit programs for some of the largest firms in the area and arranging some of the most complex property insurance programs in the marketplace. In addition, the new location will function as the home to Willis Re Latin America and Willis SCR (Special Contingency Risks). Willis also operates satellite offices in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach to serve South Florida.
