Plantation Professional Park Fetches $11.3 Million

/in , /by

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.”

 

Plantation Office Building Fetches $13.85 Million

/in , /by

Avison Young’s Florida Capital Markets Group completed the $13.85 million ($173 per square foot) sale of the 80,000-square-foot Bank of America office building at 1776 N. Pine Island Road in Plantation.

The building last sold for $10,900,000 in December 2012.

On behalf of Transatlantic Investment Management Inc., Avison Young Principals David Duckworth, John K. Crotty, CCIM, and Michael T. Fay, facilitated the disposition to the Kislak Organization, a privately held firm based in Miami. The sale represents the fifth transaction the team completed in Plantation to date in 2018 totaling more than $66 million.

“Plantation continues to see low office vacancy rates, high absorption, and impressive rent growth, solidifying it as one of the most desirous suburban submarkets in Broward County for tenants and investors,” said Duckworth. “The property was a value-add opportunity despite its high occupancy due to the below-market, in-place rents.”

For the acquisition, Kislak also engaged the Florida Capital Markets Group to secure a $12.05 million loan.

“We were pleased to work with Avison Young on the acquisition and financing of this well-located, multi-tenant office building,” said Tom Bartelmo, president and CEO of the Kislak Organization. “This investment is a great fit for our strategy of acquiring high-quality commercial real estate in top South Florida submarkets. We like the property’s strong current income and opportunity for enhancements that will draw additional professional office tenants.”

At 80 percent loan-to-value, the loan was negotiated by Avison Young Principal George Vail and financed through Popular Bank for a 10-year term with a 2-year interest-only period, after which it will transition to a 25-year amortization schedule. The interest rate was 4.6 percent.

“Due to the property, location, and the buyer’s well-regarded reputation, we created a competitive environment to get the best loan terms for Kislak,” said Vail. “After receiving multiple term sheets, we locked in a favorable loan with a rare 80 percent loan-to-value ratio, as lenders typically max out at 70 to 75 percent.”

According to research by Avison Young, Plantation is one of the tightest office submarkets in Broward County. As of third quarter 2018, the submarket saw no new construction, one of the lowest vacancy rates which posted at 7.23 percent, and the highest total net absorption level in the county with 78,350 square feet absorbed.
