Among the new tenants, All Star Recruiting Locums leased 42,700 square feet and will relocate from Deerfield Beach, while Cinch Home Services leased 32,900 square feet. EchoTwin AI, a technology firm focused on AI spatial intelligence for cities, took 2,700 square feet for its first office as founder Chris Carson moves from San Francisco to South Florida.

BRiC is owned by CP Group—led by Angelo Bianco and Chris Eachus—and DRA Advisors—led by David Luski. In 2021, DRA acquired a stake in the campus for $320.2 million.

Plans are also underway to redevelop BRiC into a mixed-use complex that includes residential units, retail space, dining options and a grocery store; city officials approved rezoning in 2023.
