Bacardi has officially opened its new 100,000-square-foot North America regional office at 3011 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables. The site brings together 250 employees from previous local operations into a modern workspace.
Why it matters
The relocation maintains the company's long-standing operational presence in South Florida, which has served as a strategic hub for the brand since 1963. This move keeps the regional headquarters embedded within a major local commercial development.
The new office spans five floors totaling 100,000 square feet within the 2.25 million-square-foot Plaza Coral Gables development. This project follows the company's history of maintaining a regional footprint since 1963.
