Native Realty Arranges Lease for New Flagler Village Bar/Live Music Venue


Sara Dorfman


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL –– Native Realty, the pioneering Fort Lauderdale commercial real estate firm led by Jaime Sturgis, successfully arranged a lease on behalf of the founders of Rank & File Social Club, a cocktail lounge and live music venue scheduled to open in Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village neighborhood in early October.

 The firm’s Sara Dorfman represented Rank & File in the transaction.

The lease is for a 3,000-square-foot venue that can seat up to 100 patrons at 702 NE First Ave. 

Rank & File is set to join a growing restaurant and entertainment scene in the increasingly popular Flagler Village, where Native Realty is based at 908 North Flagler Drive.

Brothers Mark and Stefano Barbagallo created the Rank & File concept, which is inspired by throwback neighborhood bars where patrons and bartenders are on a first-name basis. 

The brothers plan to focus on local acts for the music program and have arcade-style video games and board games on the venue’s garden patio.

Dorfman guided the Rank & File founders through a search of available Flagler Village locations and the negotiation of lease terms, which were not disclosed.

“We are thrilled to help Mark and Stefano bring Rank & File to our home base of Flagler Village,” Dorfman said. “This transaction underscores the neighborhood’s emergence as a hub for creative entertainment concepts.

We look forward to continuing to play an active role in the evolution of Flagler Village.”

The Rank & File transaction continues a busy stretch of activity for Native Realty.

On June 29, Sturgis and Amanda Roy closed the $6.75 million sale of mixed-use Seagrape Commons, a fixture in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for more than 50 years.

In May, Dorfman completed the record-breaking sale of an Airbnb rental property in Fort Lauderdale’s popular Victoria Park neighborhood.

 The 808-812 NE 16th Terrace property changed hands for $1.65 million, the highest sale price in Victoria Park since at least 2006 and the most expensive in the history of the neighborhood on a price per unit basis.
