Analytics on Live Data Without Leaving Postgres

When analytics on Postgres slows down, most teams add a second database. TimescaleDB by Tiger Data takes a different approach: extend Postgres with columnar storage and time-series primitives to run analytics on live data, no split architecture, no pipeline lag, no new query language to learn. Start building for free. No credit card required.

In the past 60–90 days, sublease inventory across Brickell has increased—creating pricing and flexibility advantages that do not exist in direct leases today.

We're seeing:

  • Subleases trading 10–25% below comparable direct asking rents

  • Turnkey, furnished inventory increasing across Class A buildings

  • Landlords expanding concessions to compete with sublease availability

This is no longer a landlord vs. tenant negotiation. It's a three-way market and tenants are gaining leverage.

What this means for tenants

Where the advantage is right now:

  • Speed to occupancy: 30-60 days vs. 6-9 month buildouts.

  • Lower upfront capital: minimal or no TI spend.

  • Flexible lease structures: shorter terms with extension optionality.

  • Negotiation leverage: competition between landlords and sublessors

For companies prioritizing agility, subleases are outperforming direct deals in select Brickell corridors.

Quick test: should you sublease or go direct?

Sublease wins when you need:

  • Immediate or near-term occupancy (30-60 days)

  • Plug-and-play, furnished environment

  • Flexibility (3-7 year horizon vs. 10-year commitments)

  • Lower upfront capital deployment

  • Optionality amid headcount uncertainty

Direct lease wins when:

  • Brand identity and HQ presence are critical.

  • Full customization or buildout is required.

  • Long-term control outweighs flexibility.

  • You're building a permanent flagship location.
