Floors 2-6 show no business on record — 5 unbroken floors, the longest such stretch here. That is where the public record shows nobody, in blocks — a place to start asking, not a listing.

Floors are read from suite numbers on Miami-Dade business-tax receipts (suite 4900 → floor 49). A floor with no record is not necessarily vacant — it may be mechanical, occupied by the owner, or let to a business whose receipt carries no suite. Receipts also lag reality by months. This shows where the public record places businesses, not a rent roll or an availability report. A stretch of quiet floors is not contiguous space for rent — it is contiguous silence in the record, which is the closest thing the public record has to that question and worth exactly what it costs to check.

Permits come from Miami-Dade County, with job cost and square footage added from the City of Miami's file where the building sits in the city. Arrivals and departures are business-tax receipts opened and closed at this address. None of this is an availability listing. A permit means work was authorised, not that space is for rent, and a closed receipt can mean a business moved, renamed or simply stopped renewing. It is the record that runs ahead of a listing, which is the only part of "what is coming available" that is public at all.

These registries are not tenant rosters and are not counted as tenancies. Each one records an organisation giving this address to a regulator for its own purposes — a bank registering a branch, a firm holding a state licence, a public company telling the SEC where it operates. That last one is the strongest tenant evidence in public record, because the company filed it about itself.
