After nearly 30 years in the same Kendall office campus, payroll heavyweight ADP is quietly packing its bags and putting the property up for sale, setting the stage for a potential redevelopment play on Sunset Drive.
The two-story building totals about 94,000 square feet on roughly nine acres and comes with hundreds of surface parking spaces, a classic suburban office setup that suddenly looks like catnip for developers in Miami’s current land-hungry market.
ADP Lists Its Longtime Kendall Campus
According to Bisnow, ADP has tapped CBRE senior vice president David Wigoda to bring the 28-year-old office at 10200 Sunset Drive in Kendall to market. The offering covers approximately 94,000 square feet on nearly nine acres, with about 446 surface parking spaces.
State corporate records back up just how long ADP has called this address home. Florida business filings show the Sunset Drive location has appeared in the company’s state paperwork since the late 1990s, per Sunbiz.
Where ADP Is Moving
ADP is not leaving Miami, just trading suburban Kendall for a denser business hub closer to the airport. The company signed for roughly 78,300 square feet at 703 Waterford Way in the Waterford Business District, a 250-acre campus near Miami International Airport, according to Commercial Observer.
That new lease represents about a 16,000-square-foot downsizing from ADP’s Kendall footprint, a shift that tracks with broader corporate efforts to trim space while upgrading locations. The Waterford campus is owned by institutional landlords and has been active on the leasing front in recent months, according to Commercial Observer.
Redevelopment Options Under Live Local
Marketing materials point out that the Sunset Drive property could be reconfigured for several smaller office tenants or cleared to make way for new construction on parts of the surface parking lot, scenarios that make the site especially attractive to developers, per Bisnow.
Because the parcel is currently zoned for office, a buyer could also explore multifamily under Florida’s Live Local Act. That statewide law allows qualifying residential projects to sidestep local rezoning if at least 40 percent of units are reserved as workforce or affordable housing, legal analysts note in a summary from Lowndes.
Local Trends And The Bottom Line
ADP’s move lands squarely in a growing South Florida trend. Suburban office campuses are being sold, reworked, or partially scraped as owners consolidate space and developers hunt for infill sites that still have room to build. Recent market coverage suggests that well-located office parcels can often make financial sense for either housing or industrial conversions, depending on zoning and available incentives, according to The Real Deal.
For those tracking the sale process, CBRE’s public materials for David Wigoda outline his capital markets and investment sales work across South Florida, and potential buyers will likely be taking a close look at how Live Local and existing zoning could shape their business plans for the site.
Legal And Zoning Notes
Under the Live Local Act, developers that set aside workforce units can receive administrative approvals and tax incentives that change the financial equation for converting office land to housing. Municipalities still review infrastructure capacity and traffic impacts when proposals are submitted, but the law can significantly shorten the political and entitlement phase.
Policy analysts highlight that the statute’s 40 percent affordability threshold and related benefits have already sped up approvals on several South Florida projects, according to Florida TaxWatch.
Given those incentives, the Kendall property is expected to draw interest from multifamily developers, institutional players monitoring Live Local opportunities, and investors looking for large, flexible land parcels in mature neighborhoods. Listing details and county records are likely to provide more clues in the coming weeks as would-be buyers map out entitlement paths and weigh the highest and best use of ADP’s longtime home.
