LEASE/RENT-BLDG & LAND

The Florida Department of Transportation entered into a standard lease agreement, identified as Lease No. 550:0366, with Crown MCDC Properties, LLC for 4,980 square feet of office and warehouse space located at the Kendall Pines Business Center in Miami-Dade County. The contract, associated with solicitation number BEK85, was set to begin on May 1, 2026, for an initial term of 60 months with an additional five-year renewal option, contingent upon approval from the State Fire Marshall. However, the Department of Transportation has issued a formal notice to terminate this lease effective September 30, 2026. This termination stems from the lessor's failure to resolve a default concerning undisclosed condominium restrictions and use requirements that materially impacted the tenancy. As a result of this breach, the Department has returned all access devices and maintains its legal right to pursue damages and restitution.
