Cushman & Wakefield Arranges Investment Sale Of Fort Lauderdale Office Center

June 9, 2026/in Done Deals, News/by admin

Cushman & Wakefield represented Coral Ridge Office Center LLC in its $7 million disposition of Coral Ridge Office Center to NRNS Acquisition 3696 Federal Highway LLC.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Scott O’Donnell, Mike Ciadella, Greg Miller and Miguel Alcivar structured this transaction “off market.”

Located at 3696 N. Federal Highway, Coral Ridge Office Center totals 32,445 square feet on approximately 1.4 acres. The building was completed in 1989 and is nearly 55% leased to five professional services tenants. The property is well-suited for professional and service-oriented occupiers seeking high exposure in a well-trafficked corridor.

“With occupancy at 55% and in-place rents significantly below market, Coral Ridge Office Center represents a compelling value-add opportunity. The buyer’s planned capital improvements create a rare opportunity to acquire a quality, highly visible South Florida office asset at an attractive basis, with meaningful upside through increased occupancy and rent growth,” said O’Donnell, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield.

Interface Properties Acquires 15-Acre Mixed-Use Office, Medical Campus In Boca

June 1, 2026/in Done Deals, News/by admin

Interface Properties, a Boca Raton-based real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, redevelopment and repositioning of value-add properties, has acquired Fountains Center, a 189,542-square-foot mixed-use office, medical and retail campus located at the intersection of Powerline Road and W. Camino Real in Boca Raton.

The seven-building property has served Boca Raton businesses, healthcare providers and residents for decades and today is 95% leased to a diverse mix of banking, medical, retail and professional services tenants. The campus also includes excess land approved for the future development of a 21,000-square-foot office building.

Interface intends to initiate a multimillion-dollar capital improvement program designed to modernize the property and enhance the tenant experience, including façade and landscaping enhancements and restoration of the property’s signature fountains.

“Fountains Center embodies the type of opportunity we look for as investors,” said Zac Goodman, Managing Partner of Interface Properties. “It combines strong in-place cash flow, meaningful redevelopment potential and an attractive basis in one of South Florida’s strongest real estate markets. Just as importantly, it’s a property with deep roots in the community and a longstanding roster of tenants who serve Boca Raton residents every day. We see an opportunity to build on that foundation through active ownership, thoughtful reinvestment and a long-term commitment to the asset.”

 

Added Ken Goodman, Founding Partner of Interface Properties, “As a Boca Raton-based company, we’re especially excited to invest in a property in our own backyard. Fountains Center has been an important part of the local business community for decades, and our goal is to be responsible stewards of that legacy while enhancing the experience for tenants, visitors and the surrounding community. We believe the property’s best days are still ahead.”

Nelson Garcia of RARE CRE represented the seller in the acquisition. Michael Basinski and Mitch Sinberg of Berkadia Boca Raton arranged a $31.75 million acquisition loan through City National Bank.

Located at 7000–7700 W. Camino Real, Fountains Center was built between 1980 and 1990, and features direct frontage along Powerline Road, one of Boca Raton’s primary north-south corridors. Seven buildings serve a mix of office, medical, retail, and service-oriented tenants with on-site amenities like abundant parking and drive-thru banking. Current tenants include Citi Bank, Truist Bank, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Salt Academy, Traditions South and numerous independent healthcare providers. Approximately 54% of the property is leased to medical office users, many of whom have served Boca Raton residents for years.

Situated in one of South Florida’s most affluent residential communities, the property is just five minutes from the Florida Turnpike and I-95, and a short 10 minute drive to Town Center at Boca Raton, Florida Atlantic University, Downtown Boca Raton, and Boca Raton Airport, and just minutes from the Boca Raton Synagogue, four golf and country clubs, and a dense concentration of executive and luxury housing.

Over the past three decades, Interface has built its business around identifying well-located properties where hands-on management, capital investment and long-term ownership creates lasting value. Past acquisitions in Palm Beach County include the Haverhill Business Park in Riviera Beach, El Clair Medical Center in Boynton Beach, and Burma Commerce Park in Palm Beach Gardens. In 2020, Interface entered the multifamily sector with the acquisition of two sites in Boca Raton which it redeveloped into student housing – The Yard University Apartments I and II. Interface also owns and operates affordable and market rate apartment communities in Tampa, Fort Myers and Naples.

Hollywood Office Proposal Grows As Developer Seeks Rezoning

May 26, 2026/in News/by admin

A nearly one-acre site near Interstate 95 in Hollywood could be repositioned for a larger office project as BSD 23 Development LLC pursues rezoning and site plan approvals from the city.

The property at 2910 Polk Street, just north of Hollywood Boulevard, was purchased by the Aventura-based developer for $2.5 million in 2023. The site currently contains a billboard, which would be moved to the top of the planned parking garage if the project advances.

BSD 23 Development, managed by Avihu Nahari, previously submitted plans for a four-story, 61,492-square-foot office building on the site. The latest proposal is larger, calling for a six-story, 92,000-square-foot office building with a lobby cafeteria and an attached 293-space parking garage.

To move forward, the developer is requesting that the city rezone the site from the transitional core zoning district to the retail core zoning district. The application also seeks a variance to allow a five-foot front setback instead of the required 10 feet.

The Hollywood Planning and Development Board is scheduled to review the rezoning and site plan applications on June 9.

As part of the proposal, BSD 23 Development would convey a small portion of the property to the Florida Department of Transportation for use as a passive park. The project team’s application describes the building as a modern glass-forward design with an art wall façade and a ground-floor connection to green space and pedestrian walkways.

Attorney Rosemarie Bacallao and Itamar Goldenholtz of Sunrise-based Goldenholtz & Associates Architects & Planners are working with the developer on the project.

The proposal comes at a time when new office development in Broward remains limited compared with Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. According to Colliers’ first-quarter report, Broward had about 350,000 square feet of office space under construction, all of it in downtown Fort Lauderdale. In Hollywood, office vacancy was 9.4%, while Class A vacancy stood at 12%. Average asking rents for Class A office space in the submarket were $40.72 per square foot.

Citizens Private Bank Expands West Palm Beach Presence As Wealth Firms Continue To Target Downtown

May 18, 2026/in Done Deals, News, Trends/by admin

Citizens Private Bank is deepening its presence in Palm Beach County with a West Palm Beach office, adding another financial services name to a downtown market that has become increasingly attractive to private banking, wealth management and investment firms.

The bank’s West Palm Beach office is located at 190 Lakeview Ave., where Citizens says its local team provides private banking support, customized client service and access to relationship managers, private wealth managers and advisory professionals. The office operates Monday through Friday and is led locally by Regional Market Executive James B. Meany, with Augie Vulaj serving as private bank office manager.

Citizens Private Bank signed a 10-year lease for a 2,700-square-foot private banking office on the ground floor of the newly built office tower, plus 9,300 square feet of office space on the 12th floor. Move-in was earlier this month.

Cushman & Wakefield represented the bank, while Tower Commercial Real Estate represented the landlord.

The move follows Citizens Private Bank’s earlier Palm Beach expansion. In October 2025, Citizens announced the opening of its Palm Beach regional office at 400 Royal Palm Way, calling it part of a broader South Florida growth strategy driven by rising client demand. At the time, Citizens said it had added wealth teams in Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Naples over the prior year.

For West Palm Beach, the expansion is another signal that the city’s office market continues to benefit from the growth of South Florida’s financial sector. New and renovated Class A office space has helped attract firms seeking proximity to Palm Beach’s high-net-worth residents, corporate executives and family offices. One Flagler, one of the city’s most visible new office towers, has been positioned as part of the next wave of high-end downtown office development.

Citizens’ growth also reflects a broader shift in how financial institutions are serving clients in Palm Beach County. Rather than relying only on traditional branch networks, private banks are investing in relationship-driven offices designed around advisory services, wealth planning, lending, deposits and personalized client support.

Citizens Financial Group, based in Providence, Rhode Island, reported $222.7 billion in assets as of Sept. 30, 2025. The company offers retail, small business, commercial banking, lending, treasury management, wealth management, capital markets and related financial services.

For office brokers and landlords, Citizens’ expansion reinforces a key theme in the West Palm Beach market: financial services tenants continue to view the city as a strategic location for client-facing operations. As more wealth, banking and investment firms establish offices in the area, demand for well-located, high-quality office space is likely to remain closely tied to Palm Beach County’s growing role as a financial services hub.

189,000-SF Broward Office Building Back In Play

May 10, 2026/in News/by admin

A 189,000-square-foot office building in Sunrise is being offered to prospective tenants, adding another large block of available space to Broward County.

Chetu Inc., a global software development company headquartered in Sunrise, has retained Avison Young brokers Justin Cope, Greg Martin and Lisa Blumer to market the five-story building at 1500 Concord Terrace. The property sits within the 22-acre Sawgrass International Corporate Park, a location near Sawgrass Mills and the broader Sawgrass business district.

Chetu currently occupies one full floor totaling about 36,000 square feet. The remaining four floors have reportedly been vacant for several years, creating a rare opportunity for a tenant seeking a full-building presence or a large contiguous office footprint. The owner has indicated it would consider relocating if a user wanted to lease the entire property.

The space is being marketed at roughly $30 per square foot on a triple-net basis and is described as fully built out and immediately available. The property also includes a 7,500-square-foot data center on the first floor, which could appeal to users with technology, operations or infrastructure needs.

Chetu has said it is not leaving the market and remains in growth mode. A company spokesperson stated that the firm is expanding and hiring.

The building is owned by Bansi Properties, the real estate development company led by Chetu CEO Atal Bansal. Bansi Properties acquired the asset for $25 million in 2021, with plans at the time for Chetu to anchor the building while leasing the balance to outside tenants.

The Sunrise property followed Chetu’s earlier development of a 63,000-square-foot headquarters in Plantation, which opened in 2019. The company later said its growth required additional space. Bansi Properties also secured a long-term IRS lease at the Plantation building for the agency’s Broward County office.

The listing comes as Chetu continues to deal with legal fallout from customer disputes. In October, the company was ordered to pay more than $500,000, including punitive damages, in a fraud case involving a Washington state barbershop chain that alleged the company failed to deliver promised software while continuing to collect fees. Chetu appealed the decision in January.

Butters, PEBB Enterprises Acquire Boca Raton Office Buildings

May 3, 2026/in Done Deals, News/by admin

Butters Construction & Development, Inc. and PEBB Enterprises announced the successful acquisition of two office buildings located at 2000 Glades Road and 1951 Wyndham Way in Boca Raton for $26.15 million, equating to more than $438 per square foot.

The transaction marks the first partnership between the two firms.

The two multi-tenant office buildings total 59,667 square feet in one of Boca Raton’s busiest business corridors. The buildings are currently 75% occupied, presenting significant upside potential through a targeted capital improvement program and a focused, aggressive leasing strategy aimed at capturing mark-to-market opportunities.

Butters and PEBB plan to enhance the buildings through strategic upgrades and repositioning efforts designed to attract new tenants and elevate the overall tenant experience. The partnership will leverage both firms’ deep local expertise and operational capabilities to maximize the value of the asset.

Butters brings a longstanding track record to the partnership, having built more than 28 million square feet of commercial real estate valued at over $5 billion during its 36-year history. The company has developed a wide range of office, industrial and mixed-use projects throughout South Florida and beyond.

“Partnering with PEBB on this acquisition represents a natural alignment between two firms that share a long-term vision for Boca Raton,” said Malcolm Butters, President and Co-Founder of Butters Construction & Development, Inc. “This is a well-located asset with strong fundamentals and compelling upside. We see a clear opportunity to enhance the property and capture demand from tenants seeking high-quality office space in this market.”

PEBB is one of South Florida’s most active commercial real estate investment and development firms, with a long track record of acquiring, repositioning and developing assets throughout Boca Raton and the broader South Florida market. Over the past decade alone, PEBB has completed more than 5 million square feet of transactions representing more than $3 billion in value.

“This acquisition shows our continued conviction in Boca Raton as a premier office market,” said Ian Weiner, CEO of PEBB Enterprises. “With strong demographics, limited new supply and increased leasing activity, we believe this property is well-positioned for long-term growth. We are excited to partner with Butters on our first transaction together and unlock the full potential of this asset.”

 

“This is exactly the type of opportunity we are focused on – well-located assets where we can apply a disciplined capital program and leasing strategy to create value,” said Eric Hochman, Chief Investment Officer of PEBB Enterprises. “Boca Raton continues to show strong demand fundamentals, and we see a clear path to improving both tenancy and overall performance at the property.”

Abanca provided acquisition financing for the transaction, supporting the partnership’s business plan.

Douglas Mandel of Marcus & Millichap’s Institutional Property Advisors division, along with Zach Levine and Cody Hershey, brokered the sale on behalf of the seller, BOA 520 LLC. Christopher Staller of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP represented the buyers in the transaction.
