Faris Lee Investments Completes $6.1 Million Sale of Single-Tenant Retail Property Occupied by Total Wine & More in Viera, FL

  
2302 Harnett Drive, Viera, FL


IRVINE, CA, Aug. 16, 2013 – Faris Lee Investments, the nation’s largest retail-specialized investment advisory firm, has completed the $6.1 million sale of a single-tenant, NNN-leased retail property occupied by Total Wine & More.

Matthew Mousavi
The free-standing property totals 20,784 square feet and is situated on 2.32 acres. It is located at 2302 Harnett Drive in Viera, one of the fastest-growing communities in Florida. The build-to-suit property completed construction in March 2013 and features a new, 10-year lease.

Matthew Mousavi, Patrick Luther and Nicholas Coo of Faris Lee Investments represented the seller and developer of the property who is based in Florida. The team also represented the private non-1031 exchange buyer, a Florida-based family trust who paid all cash. 

Patrick Luther
The transaction closed at a 7 percent cap rate. The sale of Total Wine reflects the lowest cap rate for a Total Wine leased property to ever sell in the United States.

 “The buyer was attracted to the property’s location and saw the value in Total Wine’s business model for the long-term,” stated Mousavi. “This was a notable sale as the property sold for nearly $300-per-square-foot, making it one of the highest price-per-square foot sales in Florida for a net leased property priced at over $5 million.”

 Luther noted that Faris Lee was able to procure a buyer within the first week of marketing, and closed 30 days thereafter. “Faris Lee executed the sale within just 45 days, from the onset of marketing to closing, offering certainty of execution to the developer,” he said. 

Nicholas Coo
 Faris Lee generated multiple competing offers from both institutional investors and private investors, based throughout the U.S. It was this broad range of competing offers that Faris Lee leveraged to increase the price and improve the terms for the family trust who bought the property.

 “Through Faris Lee’s proactive branding and marketing strategy, we were able to highlight the future of Total Wine as a strong retail concept, as well as the long-term value provided by the property’s location,” said Nicholas Coo. 

 Total Wine & More is ideally located near two large shopping centers: the 535,000-square-foot Avenue Viera shopping center and the 336,000-square-foot Shoppes at Lake Andrew. Nearby national retailers include Target, Petco, Pier One Imports, Hobby Lobby, Ross Dress for Less and Old Navy, among others.
