Pebb Capital Completes Phase I Of Sundy Village With 88% Of Project Leased

/in , /by

Pebb Capital, a national diversified real estate and private equity investment firm, announced the completion of Phase One at Sundy Village, its premier mixed-use development in the heart of Delray Beach.

The seven-acre campus recently received a TCO, marking a major milestone as a surge of new office, retail and food-and-beverage leases brings the project to 88 percent leased, with 268 below-grade parking spaces now available to the public.

Sundy Village has now delivered 100,000 square feet of Class A+ office space and 30,000 square feet of retail and dining. Woven into a walkable setting of shaded pathways and activated courtyards, new leases build on an early roster that includes Vertical Bridge, Barcelona Wine Bar, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Double Knot and Drinking Pig BBQ. Vertical Bridge originally leased 38,474 square feet and moved in earlier this year. The firm has since expanded, bringing its total footprint at Sundy Village to 48,140 square feet. With the TCO in place, restaurants have started their buildouts, with openings anticipated to begin later this year and continue on a rolling basis through the first half of 2026. The project has another 8,500 square feet of leases under negotiation, which would bring occupancy to more than 92 percent.

“Completing this phase with the majority of the campus leased affirms the strategy we envisioned from the outset,” said Todd Rosenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Principal at Pebb Capital. “Tenants see a strategic advantage to doing business where workplaces, amenities and lifestyle converge — positioning Sundy Village to serve as a long-term anchor and defining presence in Delray Beach’s continued growth.”

Signed tenants now include flexible workspaces, wellness, financial services and a wave of culinary concepts. New leases include:

  • Industrious, the national flexible workspace provider, will occupy 25,190 square feet across two standalone office buildings at 25 SW First Ave. and 35 SW First Ave. This reflects sustained demand for turnkey, design-forward offices that support hybrid work.
  • Maman, the New York–founded café and bakery known for its French-leaning menu and distinctive interiors, leased 1,768 square feet. The brand’s continued South Florida expansion will serve as an experience driver within Sundy Village’s pedestrian corridor.
  • Dragonfly MRI, a precision wellness imaging center, leased 6,485 square feet.
  • JTC, a global provider of funds, corporate and private client services, signed 2,458 square feet.
  • Fairstead Development, a purpose-driven real estate firm, leased 2,215 square feet.
  • Lost Coast Collective LLC, a boutique investment-management firm, signed 1,212 square feet.
  • Coastal Investment Company, a private equity real estate firm, leased 1,030 square feet.
  • Delray Beach Craft Brewing, LLC, a locally owned upscale restaurant featuring its own craft beer program, will take 1,143 square feet in the historic Cathcart House on Swinton Ave.

“Leasing at Sundy Village mirrors the top demand drivers across South Florida: efficient layouts, seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity and walkable amenities. We expect the remaining suites to transact quickly as companies look to secure space at what is becoming Delray Beach’s most well-rounded mixed-use address,” added John Criddle, Executive Vice President at CBRE, who oversees office leasing alongside Joe Freitas.

Sundy Village’s Phase Two construction progress will continue with a 79,141-square-foot standalone office building at 100 SE First Ave. and a 165-space parking garage at 48 SE First Ave. that will include 3,400 square feet of ground-floor retail. Through a partnership with the City of Delray Beach, the garage will be available for public use after 6 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends — supporting both tenants and the surrounding district.

Situated within a mile from Interstate 95, Sundy Village is a gateway to Delray Beach’s entertainment corridor. With architecture by Gensler and RLC Architects, patrons enjoy thoughtful design that integrates open-air courtyards, breezy walkways, green space and indoor/outdoor dining and seating areas. One of the most unique aspects of Sundy Village is its ability to incorporate new construction with the preservation of historic homes on the property, several of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These homes have been carefully restored throughout the development process. As part of this effort, historical plaques have been installed at the front and rear of the homes, offering visitors a glimpse into Delray Beach’s heritage while connecting past and present.

Three Companies Secure Space At 110 East Broward

/in , /by

In the coming months, three diverse companies—a bank, an IT firm, and a provider of autism therapy services—will be relocating to a 24-story office tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Pebb Capital, Intalex Capital, and CDS International Holdings revealed that their 110 East Broward Boulevard building, a 24-story structure, is now 64% leased, following a series of office lease agreements over the past 15 months.

The largest tenant will be ABA Centers of America, a South Florida-based provider of autism therapy. Listed among the fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine and the Business Journal, ABA Centers will occupy 48,000 square feet across the building’s top three floors. The company had originally planned to occupy a single floor but will now take up more space once construction is complete in January, according to ABA’s Director of Public Relations, Katie Murphy.

Founded in 2020, ABA Centers specializes in autism treatment at its facilities in Florida, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. The company is also preparing to open a 13,341-square-foot testing and treatment center near South University’s Royal Palm Beach campus.

Seacoast Bank, the sixth-largest bank headquartered in Florida, will open a 7,795-square-foot retail branch and office on the building’s first floor in May. Based in Stuart, Seacoast Bank made notable acquisitions in 2022, purchasing Miami’s Apollo Bank for $168.3 million and Coral Gables-based Professional Bank for $489 million.

Chelsea Technologies, a New York-based IT services provider for hedge funds, banks, and private equity firms, will take up a 3,221-square-foot office on the 20th floor. Chelsea is scheduled to move in June, relocating from its current office at 101 N.E. 3rd Ave in Fort Lauderdale, according to a spokesperson for Pebb Capital.

Travis Herring and Katherine Ridgway of Cushman & Wakefield represented the building’s landlords in the lease negotiations.

In May 2023, the South Florida real estate firms Pebb, Intalex, and CDS acquired the 110 East Broward Boulevard building for $43 million. At the time of purchase, the 1982-built office tower was only 28% leased, as noted in a press release from the owners.

Investment Firm Signs 79,000 SF Corporate HQ In Pebb Capital’s Sundy Village

/in , /by

Diversified real estate and private equity investment firm Pebb Capital has signed a notable 79,141-square-foot office lease at Sundy Village for the headquarter relocation of DigitalBridge, one of the world’s largest digital infrastructure investment firms.

The announcement marks continued leasing velocity at the transformative mixed-use development in Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue District, with expected completion in the third quarter of 2024.

DigitalBridge will be situated at 100 SE 1st Ave., at the southeast intersection of First Street and First Avenue. The office will serve as the main corporate location for more than 300 employees, moving from the current headquarters in Boca Raton. The multi-billion-dollar public company owns, invests in, and operates businesses across five key verticals: cell towers, data centers, fiber networks, small cells and edge infrastructure.

DigitalBridge’s building will be LEED certified and designed with sustainability in mind, including rooftop solar panels. The four-story structure will also boast covered walkways for employees and pedestrians alike, terraces and a sophisticated ground-floor lobby.

“The decision to transition DigitalBridge’s headquarters to Sundy Village will be a tremendous benefit for our team to be immersed in the heart of Downtown Delray,” said Marc Ganzi, DigitalBridge CEO. “Our expanded and modernized office will provide our company with new space for innovation and enjoyment of nearby experiences, from retail to dining, that make it an ideal setting.”

Sundy Village’s seven-acre campus style design presents a unique layout with a series of standalone, private office buildings. In addition to DigitalBridge’s headquarters, a collection of boutique ‘Class A’ office structures are available for lease, ranging from 5,776 to 12,600 square feet. Each will be delivered with the privacy of a single company occupying the building, direct elevator access from the garage and large outdoor terraces for an elevated work setting. Employees will have convenient connectivity to modern lifestyle, dining and retail offerings throughout Sundy Village and the surrounding downtown. Office tenants also include Pebb Capital, which will relocate its Boca Raton headquarters, and Vertical Bridge, the largest private owner and operator of communication infrastructure in the U.S. Beyond the boutique selections, limited office availability remains in the property’s main building.

“The addition of DigitalBridge will bring a sizeable workforce and tremendous utilization of the project’s amenity playground on a daily basis,” said Todd Benson, Pebb Capital Principal. “Coupled with our strategic securement of diverse restaurants and retail experiences, Sundy Village’s location and accessibility continue to be important attributes to creating a robust environment for companies and patrons.”

Designed by Gensler, Sundy Village will create a distinctive ambiance by blending contemporary urban design with historical elements, including the adaptive re-use of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The project is one of the only master-planned ‘Class A’ office developments underway in Delray Beach. Hospitality tenants include new-to-market Barcelona Wine Bar, a “vibey, no reservations” bar with locations across 11 states; and a culinary venture by chef Michael Schulson, known for his successful restaurants in Philadelphia and Miami under the Schulson Collective brand.

Situated within a mile from Interstate 95, Sundy Village is poised to become the gateway to Delray Beach’s entertainment corridor at 22 W. Atlantic Ave. The project embodies a forward-thinking approach to business, hospitality and experiential development, incorporating open-air courtyards, airy walkways, green spaces, and indoor/outdoor dining, totaling in 30,000 square feet of retail space, 180,000 square feet of ‘Class A’ office space, 268 subterranean parking spots as well as a parking garage.

CBRE‘s Joe Freitas and John Criddle oversee office leasing, while retail leasing is managed by Sara Wolfe of Vertical Real Estate.

110 East Broward Blvd. Sells, Marks Fort Lauderdale’s Largest Office Transaction Of The Year

/in , /by

Real estate and private equity firms Pebb Capital and Intalex Capital, in partnership with CDS International Holdings Inc. (CDS), announced the acquisition of a trophy ’Class A’ office building in the urban core of Fort Lauderdale.

The transaction, which closed on May 15, marks the largest ‘Class A’ office deal in downtown Fort Lauderdale this year.

Pebb Capital and Intalex Capital purchased 110 East, located at 110 East Broward Blvd., from Stockbridge for $43 million.

Christian Lee, Andrew Chilgren, Marcos Minaya and Sean Kelly of CBRE brokered the transaction on behalf of both the buyer and seller.

At the entryway to downtown Fort Lauderdale, 110 East is situated in the middle of 15,000 multifamily units developed in the last decade and is within walking distance to more than 30 restaurants and the famed Las Olas Boulevard. Conveniently located near major transportation hubs, the property is just two blocks from the Brightline Station and a 10-minute drive to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The 24-story tower consists of 343,500 square feet of space. During the pendency of the contract, Pebb Capital and Intalex Capital commenced leasing efforts and secured approximately 76,000 square feet of new tenancy.

The partnership is actively negotiating another 125,000 square feet of new leases to stabilize building occupancy years ahead of their anticipated underwriting. Travis Herring and Katherine Ridgway of Cushman & Wakefield have worked with Pebb Capital and Intalex Capital to oversee leasing velocity.

As a premier commercial offering, 110 East has the largest block of contiguous office space available in the market with panoramic views of the ocean, intra-coastal waterway and downtown. Adding to its prestige will be multi-million-dollar renovations to common areas, including bathrooms, fitness center, terraces and lobby, which follow substantial renovations completed by Stockbridge in 2021.

“This deal is a significant success for our portfolio, working nearly a year to finalize it as capital markets shifted,” said Todd Rosenberg, co-founder and managing partner of Pebb Capital. “South Florida has remained a bright spot in domestic office activity, with strong fundamentals to continue this trajectory of business and population growth. Combine this with Fort Lauderdale’s economic outlook and the value-add opportunity of 110 East, the conditions align with our office investment strategy of acquiring and developing more than 600,000 square feet in the tri-county area.”

Cushman & Wakefield’s Q1 2023 Broward County MarketBeat Office Report notes, in the coming quarters, an expected positive absorption year-to-date, with continued demand for larger leases in the Central Business District. The market also saw a historic record of overall office rates exceeding $55-per-square-foot this year. According to Intalex Capital Founder Bryson Ridgway, the deal and current market dynamics set in motion a concerted effort by the firms to aggressively acquire more South Florida office assets.

“110 East Broward is a great opportunity to take advantage of current dislocation in the office segment and capital markets,” added Bill Milmoe, President of CDS. “As soon as we completed our diligence and understood Pebb Capital and Intalex Capital’s business plan, we were enthusiastic to provide the LP capital for this very exciting project. We are bullish on South Florida and have the utmost confidence in the team to execute the business plan. The rapid pace of pre-closing leasing activity confirms that this is going to be a superlative opportunity.”

Greenwall Capital Management advised CDS in the transaction and Kapp Morrison, LLP provided legal representation to CDS.

 

Cushman & Wakefield Tapped To Lease New 70,000 SF Office Building In Palm Beach County

/in /by

Cushman & Wakefield’s John Criddle and Joseph Freitas were named exclusive leasing advisors for ±70,000 square feet of office space in Pebb Capital’s new Sundy Village, a transformative, mixed-use development in Palm Beach County.

Sundy Village is a ±7.0-acre project to be developed in the area surrounding the Sundy House, the oldest house in Delray Beach and current site of a restaurant, boutique inn and botanical garden. The land previously housed the city’s first church, schoolhouse and bank. Portions of the site are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and will be preserved during the development process.

Sundy Village is expected to encompass ±50,000 square feet of dining and retail as well as ±70,000 square feet of Class A office space spread across four buildings. Initial office rental rates are expected to range from $45-$50 NNN.

Located at 20 W. Atlantic Ave., Sundy Village is conveniently situated in downtown Delray Beach and will serve as the premier entrance to the dynamic live-work-play Atlantic Avenue corridor, home to an exceptional array of high-end restaurants, hotels, retail and entertainment options, and within walking distance of the city’s historic and scenic neighborhoods.

“The office space at Sundy Village will accommodate a wide range of tenants in state-of-the-art, energy-efficient buildings offering a unique mix of traditional architecture and modern design with underground parking,” said Criddle. “The asset will be the most unique and exciting fully-amenitized Class A office project in the Atlantic Avenue district.”

Added Freitas, “Sundy Village’s location sets it apart from the rest of its competitors in the market. The project is less than one mile from Interstate 95, offering tenants the city’s best access to the interstate while remaining within walking distance of all that burgeoning downtown Delray Beach has to offer.”

“With leasing positioned to be underway, we’re one step closer to realizing our goal of bringing positive economic impact to this Opportunity Zone asset,” said Todd Rosenberg, co-founder and Managing Principal of Pebb Capital. “Our Class A office product, primely situated at the gateway of downtown Delray Beach, will not only foster connectivity, but provide tenants access to a lifestyle retail experience that is very unique to the area.”

Pebb Capital will break ground on Sundy Village this summer. The entire project will be completed in phases, with the final phase expected to be delivered in 2024. Pebb Capital acquired the distressed property for $40 million in October 2019.
