Mixed-Use Business Park In Boca Raton Trades For $18 Million

Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces its Southeast Investment Sales team has brokered the sale of a 143,530-square-foot, two-building office property at 5600 Broken Sound Blvd. NW in Boca Raton.

Transwestern Senior Managing Directors John Bell and Kevin Markwordt arranged the disposition on behalf of the undisclosed seller.

“The highly configurable asset provides multiple occupancy scenarios, from a plug-and-play single tenant to a corporate headquarters to multi-user options,” said Bell.

The 12.24-acre property encompasses a one-story, 51,381-square-foot building and a three-story, 92,149-square-foot building connected by a corridor, with surface parking for convenient, direct access. The business hub, previously occupied by Canon, features a cafeteria, conference rooms, collaborative work areas, and an open-air courtyard.

Situated in the center of Boca Raton’s corporate and innovation district, the property offers high visibility from Broken Sound Boulevard with walkability to top shopping, dining and residential amenities plus access to Broken Sound Club, a championship golf course across the street. The office park provides free shuttle service to and from the TriRail commuter train, connecting riders to a swath of destinations across South Florida.

“Boca Raton is a growing base for innovation, research and technology, attracting corporate and large office tenants,” said Markwordt. “The property’s value-add potential coupled with the market’s lack of large blocks of office space made it a desirable investment for the buyer.”

 

Broward Vice Mayor Addresses SFOBA on June 10, 2021 – 5 Key Takeaways

In only our second live event since the onset of the pandemic. Prisma Cypress Creek, Levy Realty Advisors and Ken Silberling were honored to present Broward County Vice Mayor Michael Udine. The Vice Mayor emphasized that Miami has the sizzle as an international tech hub. But Broward has been “getting ours.”

Many firms touting their moves to Miami for the PR recognition are actually settling in Broward County. Udine says it makes sense not to fight what is happening in Miami, because the whole region benefits. Udine has championed the cause of bringing tech and venture capital firms to greater Fort Lauderdale with the help of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance. Alliance Senior Vice President David Coddington also added to the conversation supporting Udine’s position that there is “insane demand” throughout South Florida.

A two minute “highlight reel” and Udine’s full 9-minute presentation can be found at kenstrends.com

South Florida CRE Professionals Mourn The Loss Of Richard Gerber

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of Richard Gerber.

Richard was a fixture in the commercial real estate world in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, forever networking and enjoying countless industry events.

With 35 years in the industry, Richard most recently served as an independent real estate professional with Box Real Estate, LLC and was an active member of the South Florida Office Brokers Association (SFOBA).

He held many leadership positions at The Realtors® Commercial Alliance (RCA) of Broward, Palm Beaches and St. Lucie over the years and was named the 2017 Commercial Realtor® of the Year.

In 2014, the Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce awarded the “Small Business Leader of the Year” for 2014 to Richard. The award was in acknowledgement of Richard’s commitment to the Coral Springs business community, his clients, and the Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce. As a Commercial Real Estate Sales and Leasing professional, Richard has assisted numerous firms in relocations to Coral Springs.

Richard was a big contributor to our real estate community, and we keep his family, friends, and co-workers in our thoughts during this difficult time.

A memorial service was held on Sunday, June 6 at 11:00 am at Temple B’nai Torah Congregation. Shiva Sunday was held immediately following from 12:30 to 4:30 pm at the home of Meredith and Jarrod Frydman, located at 3712 NW 52nd St. in Boca Raton. Shiva will continue on Monday, June 7 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

We are sure going to miss him.
