The deal was signed in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Google, which established an outpost in Miami about a decade ago, declined to comment to the publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The expansion comes on the heels of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin going on residential buying sprees in South Florida, as California\u2019s proposed Billionaire Tax Act heads to a referendum in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, Page has bought <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/01\/22\/google-co-founder-larry-page-buys-third-miami-home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$188 million<\/a> in properties in Miami\u2019s Coconut Grove neighborhood, including a waterfront compound purchased for <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2025\/12\/18\/progressive-heirs-miami-home-asking-135-million-has-buyer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$101.5 million<\/a>. In March, Brin paid <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/03\/04\/sergey-brin-closes-on-south-florida-home-for-51-million\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$51 million<\/a> for LVMH CEO Michael Burke\u2019s waterfront Miami Beach home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sergey and Brin no longer hold executive positions at Google, but they remain on Alphabet\u2019s board and are the controlling shareholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pair have a combined wealth of more than $573 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A fever pitch of excitement over South Florida\u2019s office market started in the first few years of the pandemic, when the tri-county region emerged as a magnet for out-of-state companies and residents. After a lull, the more recent blue-to-red state migration again led to headline-grabbing company relocations and top residential purchases by their executives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, Palantir Technologies moved its headquarters from Denver, where it faced protests over having its AI tech used in deportations. It moved early this year to a co-working space in Aventura. The relocation came after Palantir CEO Alex Karp quietly bought a waterfront Venetian Islands mansion for <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/03\/12\/palantirs-alex-karp-buyer-of-miami-beach-mansion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$46 million<\/a> last summer. He bought the next-door home for <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/05\/01\/palantirs-alex-karp-shapes-75-million-miami-beach-compound\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$28.5 million<\/a> in May with plans to develop a compound on the properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, paid a record <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/03\/02\/mark-zuckerberg-drops-170-million-for-billionaire-bunker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$170 million<\/a> for an Indian Creek under-construction mansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s major office expansion runs counter to the general industry consensus that billionaire company executives are primarily buying homes here and only opening small offices for their companies, while still keeping most operations out of state. Newcomer firms usually lease small spaces and expand years later if they decide to stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, Google\u2019s Miami office pales next to its Mountain View, California, headquarters and area offices, which span over 10 million square feet. At New York\u2019s Hudson Square, the tech firm has roughly 1.7 million square feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u2013 Lidia Dinkova\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\tRead more<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"BlogrollPost\" href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2026\/01\/07\/googles-larry-page-sergey-brin-buying-miami-homes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Google-co-founders-in-the-market-for-Miami-homes2-200x133.jpg\" class=\"FeaturedImage_image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Sergey Brin and Larry Page\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tResidential\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSouth Florida\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Billionaire Google co-founders descend on Miami<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"BlogrollPost\" href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/magazine\/april-2026\/excitement-is-back-for-miami-offices-will-the-leases-follow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Small-Lease-Big-Hype-200x133.jpg\" class=\"FeaturedImage_image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Excitement is back for Miami offices.
