Jaime Sturgis, Founder and CEO of Fort Lauderdale commercial real estate firm Native Realty, is expanding his placemaking efforts in the city’s Flagler Village neighborhood with a prestigious new assignment.
Real estate developer and investor BH3 has hired Native to exclusively market its Fabrick adaptive re-use project in Flagler Village.
BH3, led by principals Gregory Freedman and Daniel Lebensohn, is converting an industrial building at 801-819 NE Second Ave. into 24,000 square feet of creative office, retail and restaurant space. The site is conveniently located next to Fort Lauderdale’s Central Business District and within walking distance to several thousand apartments either recently completed or in the pipeline.
The building is designed with open floor plans and will be delivered with new impact doors and windows and polished concrete floors. The property includes ample on-site parking and strong signage opportunities – with visibility to the Virgin Trains USA (formerly Brightline) passenger trains.
Fabrick is the latest example of BH3’s significant investment into Fort Lauderdale’s urban core. The company’s portfolio in the city includes FATCity, a transit-oriented development on 2.69 acres at 300 N. Andrews Ave., and Flagler 1.0, a creative office and retail building at 702-704 NE First Ave. that is home to Chops + Hops Axe Throwing Lodge and Rank & File Social Club.
Demand from prospective tenants is strong, according to Sturgis. The first tenant is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
“It is an honor to partner with a visionary developer like BH3,” Sturgis said. “We consider this assignment to be a testament to the significant results Native Realty consistently generates and our passion for curating the neighborhoods within and beyond Fort Lauderdale’s urban core. For restaurants, bars, retailers and creative office operators, Fabrick represents an unparalleled opportunity to secure prime space in Broward County’s most popular neighborhood.”

Stiles Realty, a division of the full-service commercial real estate firm, Stiles, announced that Infinity Behavioral Health Services, a behavioral healthcare management provider, signed a long-term lease for 30,000 square feet in Lauderdale Lakes at Headway Office Park.
Stiles Realty Senior Vice President Madelayne Garcia represented Infinity Behavioral Health Services. Donna Korn and Beau Ladwig of Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord.
Inifinity’s new office includes two contiguous floors that are fully renovated, including updated tenant spaces, common areas and building systems. Stiles Realty worked closely with the building management to meet the tenant’s build-out needs, which include personal call rooms and conference areas.
“Infinity was seeking a unique space to expand their operations and remain in Broward County” Garcia said. “Infinity is a very employee-friendly company with a serene working environment, including a casual dress code and the ability to bring pets to work. With our knowledge of the market, and great working relationship with the management team, we were able to create the environment Infinity was seeking.”
Since 2011, Infinity Behavioral Health Services has been providing revenue cycle management services to behavioral healthcare providers. Infinity centers its process around industry-leading consulting services and an extensive account management system.

Avison Young completed the first pre-lease agreement at The Edison Pembroke Pines, a brand-new suburban office project.
Aquila Software, a group of leading software companies, will occupy 28,890 square feet at the South Florida development where Avison Young Principals Greg Martin and Justin Cope exclusively spearhead leasing services. Aquila Software was represented by Jason Carros of Stoltz Realty Florida.
Located along Interstate 75 on S.W. 145th Avenue between Pines Boulevard and Pembroke Road in Pembroke Pines, Florida, The Edison is comprised of more than 330,000-square-feet of class A office space, spanning two three-story buildings and a 5,000-square-foot central amenity building.
“The lease represents a relocation in South Florida, as Aquila Software will consolidate offices from Fort Lauderdale and Medley into its new space at The Edison,” said Martin. “The premier development caters to today’s workforce with its creative design and close proximity to the 400,000-square foot upscale lifestyle center, The Shops at Pembroke Gardens.”
“Aquila Software completed a full market survey and was ultimately drawn to The Edison’s efficient floor plates, high ceilings, large window lines, abundant surface parking, and indoor and outdoor collaboration areas,” said Carros.
According to research by Avison Young, Southwest Broward, where The Edison is situated, posted the lowest office submarket vacancy rate in Broward County at 6.66 percent as of fourth-quarter 2018. The Edison represents one of the few new suburban construction projects in the county, thus attracting tenants looking beyond the urban core for centrally-located space.
“The market continues to show robust interest in the quality product The Edison offers, particularly the unique design and large floorplate opportunities we are able to present to larger space users,” said Cope. “As construction draws closer to completion, we expect to announce additional lease agreements.”

Cushman & Wakefield has named Gian Rodriguez to managing principal of its Miami and Fort Lauderdale offices.
In the new position, Rodriguez will oversee the strategic growth and business development efforts for the brokerage firm in those two critical South Florida markets.
At 39, Rodriguez is one of the youngest managing principals at Cushman & Wakefield, the national commercial brokerage firm notes.
Larry Richey, who held this role for the last four years, will continue to serve as regional managing principal for Cushman & Wakefield’s Florida offices, leading the firm’s four managing principals throughout the State of Florida.
Rodriguez, an industrial broker with more than 10 years commercial real estate experience, will now have direct oversight of more than 200 Cushman & Wakefield employees and will be responsible for all aspects of the firm’s business in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, including agency leasing, tenant representation, capital markets, debt and equity, asset services, valuation and advisory and project and development services.
Rodriguez, who is a key member of one of Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida Industrial Teams, will continue to serve in his brokerage role, as well.
“Gian’s reputation, experience and fresh perspective will help take our Miami and Fort Lauderdale offices to the next level,” Richey says. “We have added incredible new talent to our South Florida team over the last three years, and Gian is the perfect leader to ensure our team continues to capture market share in this competitive market.”
Robert Given, vice chairman in Fort Lauderdale and leader of the Cushman’s Florida Multifamily Team, adds, “It’s been amazing to experience Cushman & Wakefield’s recent growth in South Florida, and we’re confident Gian will do an excellent job of building upon that growth. We are delighted to have him working alongside Larry to continue the effort to bring top talent to our firm.”
Rodriguez and partner Wayne Ramoski have consistently ranked as a top-producing team within Cushman & Wakefield’s Miami/Fort Lauderdale operation. In 2018, they negotiated 2.7 million square feet of sales and leases valued at more than $156 million.
Rodriguez, who is bilingual, was awarded Cushman & Wakefield’s Most Valuable Player Award in 2016.
Before joining Cushman & Wakefield, the Miami native worked with Adler Realty Services. Prior to that, he held several roles in the communications field, including media relations manager for the Golf Association of Philadelphia and director of marketing and public relations for an independent luxury real estate firm in the Greater Philadelphia Area. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from the University of Florida, and is active with the UF Alumni Association and several commercial real estate industry groups, including NAIOP.

Cushman & Wakefield has negotiated the sale of Plantation Professional Park a 63,319-square-foot medical and professional office campus in Broward County.
The Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets team of Greg Miller, Scott O’Donnell, Dominic Montazemi and Miguel Alcivar represented the Kislak Organization of Miami Lakes in the sale. Aventura, FL-based Triarch Capital Group acquired the asset for $11.3 million, or $178 per square foot.
Plantation Professional Park is a six-building office campus built between 1987 and 1989 on a ±7.84-acre site at 6710–6834 West Sunrise Boulevard in Plantation. The single-story buildings comprise a medical and professional office campus located three miles from Westside Regional Medical Center. The site also includes a vacant pad previously approved for an additional two-story, ±22,000-square-foot medical office building.
Plantation Professional Park was 96% occupied at the time of sale. Notable tenants include Dickens Sanomi Academy and American Access Care.
Plantation Professional Park is located in one of the most desirable office submarkets in Broward County and offers convenient highway access to Florida’s Turnpike and Interstate 95 as well as prominent visibility along Sunrise Boulevard.
“When combined with its centralized location in Broward County, dense and economically strong surrounding communities, and superb accessibility, Plantation Professional Park epitomizes the environment that today’s medical and professional tenants migrate towards,” said O’Donnell.
In 2016, the same Cushman & Wakefield team negotiated Equitrust Life Insurance Company’s disposition of Plantation Professional Park to the Kislak Organization for $5.15 million. In 2017, the Kislak Organization completed a $1.59 million renovation program at the property that included new roof overlays and mansards, exterior paint and pavement improvements.
“As a lifelong Plantation resident, I took special pride in working with the Kislak team to revitalize and lease up Plantation Professional Park,” said Tom Bartelmo, President and CEO of the Kislak Organization. “This was a successful project for us, and we wish the new owners all the best.”
“Plantation Professional Park is an integral piece in the renaissance of the Sunrise corridor in Plantation,” said Miller. ”This acquisition will deliver stable in-place cash flows for Triarch Capital Group, while providing the ability to build upon the Kislak Organization’s repositioning efforts via a future development parcel or executing additional strategic leasing to create further value.”
