(MIAMI) – Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has signed a lease renewal for 198,000 square feet at its headquarters in Airport Corporate Center, located in Miami’s West/Doral submarket.

The 45-acre office park is home to 11 buildings totaling 1,018,477 square feet, plus a fully entitled 5.46-acre development site with up to 300,000 square feet of available development density.

NCL leases approximately 20 percent of the campus in two Class A buildings in the complex.
