KAS Partners Unloads Office Property, More Than Doubles Investment

Marcus & Millichap Senior Vice President and Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) Senior Director Douglas K. Mandel, along with National Office and Industrial Properties Group Associate Timothy P. Thomas facilitated the sale of 2425 Office Plaza, a 21,625-square-foot boutique office asset located at 2425 East Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

Real estate investor Corey Shader purchased the office building for $2.3 million from a subsidiary of Coral Gables-based KAS Partners. The property last traded in December 2010 for $1,450,000.

2425 Office Plaza was approximately 70 percent occupied at the time of the sale, which closed on September 16.

“With its central location, direct frontage on Commercial Boulevard and tremendous lease-up potential, 2425 Office Plaza provided Mr. Shader with an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, value-add office building,” commented Mandel.

The 1971-built office property, which consists of four stories situated on a 0.45-acre parcel of land with direct frontage along Commercial Boulevard, just east of Federal Highway (US Highway 1), was renovated in 2005.

Mandel and Thomas represented the seller in the transaction. The buyer was represented by One Investment Group.
