Blood Bank Buys and Occupies $9.8 Million Office Building in Fort Lauderdale, FL

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - OneBlood, Inc., a consolidation of several blood groups from around the state of Florida, has purchased the 75,000-square-foot office building located at 3000 W. Cypress Creek Road (top left photo) in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

The buyer was represented by Colliers International South Florida Chairman, Michael T. Fay (lower right photo) and Executive Vice President - Partner, John K. Crotty, CCIM.

  

 The seller, the Florida Department of Financial Services, was represented by Colliers Executive Vice President, Robert Listokin, SIOR and Senior Commercial Associate, Sal Bonsignore, CCIM. The all-cash transaction was completed for $9.8 million.

OneBlood will occupy the entire building, creating the BloodBank of Florida. OneBlood is made up of a merger of three not-for-profit blood centers including Community Blood Centers of Florida, Inc., Florida's Blood Center, Inc. and Florida Blood Services, Inc. The organization ensures that blood is available, safe and affordable for its hospital partners and patients.

"We had to work through the State of Florida as a receiver for a bankrupt business," explains Crotty. "The property had deed restrictions and a zoning issue conflicting with the buyer's use, which had to be addressed and overcome."
