MIAMI, FL– Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has received the exclusive listing for a 44,572 square foot block of land and a 31,294 square foot marina with 36 slips fronting the Miami River in Miami, FL. The impressive development opportunity is priced at $7 million.

            Ryan Shaw and Scott Sandelin, Senior Associates in Marcus & Millichap’s Miami office, are representing the seller, a limited liability company from Miami.

The investment opportunity consists of multiple land parcels and marina totaling approximately 75,866 square feet along the Miami River.

The property is separated by NW 22nd Avenue with the residential development on the west side and the marina to the east. The land allows for up to 362,000 buildable square feet under Miami21 zoning of T6-8-O which should fit a minimum of 105 units over eight floors.

“This is an excellent opportunity for a developer to acquire a site on the Miami River with an adjacent marina,” says Shaw.

Scott Sandelin
 “The Miami River and its surrounding neighborhoods have become magnets for all kinds of energy and activity over the last couple of years.

“Private sector developments along the Miami River are at an all-time high. The addition of new restaurants, retail, and apartments further west on the river make this an excellent opportunity to capture the future of what the Miami River has to offer.”

The land parcels are located at 2190 NW North River Drive in Miami, FL.

“Built in 1956, Town Chalet was still owned by the original developer so there was real pride of ownership,” said John Meyer, managing director of Kiser Group. 

He and Lee Kiser, principal of Kiser Group, represented the seller in the sale. “In addition, its below-market rents and long history of maintaining full occupancy were key selling points.”

Sean Connelly
 “This property also appealed to the buyer because of its large lot size and its highly desirable Wilmette location,” said Sean Connelly, senior managing director of Kiser Group, who represented the buyer in the sale.
  

 4900-06 N. Ridgeway – Albany Park

The 24-unit apartment building located at 4900-06 N. Ridgeway in Albany Park sold for $1.7 million.

Bill Baumann
This 5,400-square-foot retail store at 6505 W. Ogden Ave. in Berwyn sold for $175,000..

 “The key attraction to this property is its high visibility along heavily-trafficked Ogden Avenue,” said Connelly, who represented the seller along with Anguiano. “More than 25,000 vehicles per day pass by the story daily.”

5901-07 W. 35th St. – Cicero

 Offered as an estate sale, this seven-unit property at 5901-07 W. 35th St. in Cicero sold for $335,00. The retail center is 91 percent occupied by six different tenants. A $45,000 new roof was installed in November 2012. Tenants pay their own utilities.

Mike Anguiano
 “This property offers stable income for the investor,” said John Meyer, managing director, who represented both the buyer and seller in the transaction. “Most of the tenants have been located at the center for more than 10 years.”

 All the names of buyers and sellers involved in these transactions are not available at this time.

KISSIMMEE, FL – Marcus & Millichap, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has arranged the sale of Pleasant Hill Self Storage, a 981-unit, 106,475-square-foot self-storage facility located in Kissimmee, Fla. The $12,000,000 sales price equates to $144 per square foot.

            Michael A. Mele, a first vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, along with Douglas K. Mandel, a first vice president investments, and C. Todd Everett, SIOR, senior associate, both in the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Michael A. Mandel
            Mele and Everett also represented the buyer, a New York-based private investor.

            “This sale has an aggressive price per square foot for the Orlando market,” says Mele. “However, the extremely high barriers-to-entry that exist for new competition and the property’s potential upside justify the sales price for the new owners.”

            “The facility also fits nicely into their portfolio,” adds Mele.

             The property is located at 4390 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, Fla.

C. Todd Everett
            Constructed in 2006 and expanded to include two additional storage buildings in 2009, Pleasant Hill Self Storage is the newest self-storage facility in the Kissimmee area.
