58-Unit Canard Apartments in Davie, FL Sold for $5 Million in Deal Brokered by Marcus & Millichap


Brandon J. Rex
DAVIE, FL, Dec. 29, 2016 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of Canard Apartments, a 58-unit apartment property located in Davie, FL, according to Ryan Nee, regional manager of the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office. The asset sold for $5,000,000.

Canard Apartments consists of 3681/3711/3721/3731/3741/3801 SW 60th Terrace and 3740/3760 SW 61st Avenue in Davie, FL.   The community consists of eight buildings on a total of 1.73 acres of land.  Canard Apartments has an excellent unit mix of four one-bedroom apartments, eight two-bedroom and one-bathroom apartments, 30 two-bedroom and one and one-half bathroom apartments and 16 two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartments.

Evan P. Kristol, Senior Vice President Investments, and Brandon J. Rex, Vice President Investments, both in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Lauderdale office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a private investor. 

“An out of area partnership owned the asset for a very long time.  They were hesitant in exclusively listing due to the amount of unsolicited interest they were receiving.  We brought a buyer to the table that we had closed within the past and who was a large owner of similar properties throughout Broward County.

“ The asset had deferred maintenance but the rents were far below market and with a unit mix that is predominantly two-bedroom units, the buyer will be able to significantly increase rents after renovating the property,” says Kristol.

Grover Corlew Acquires 46-Acre Orlando Central Office Park


Orlando Fashion Square Mall, Orlando, FL
ORLANDO, FL – G&C OC Investors, LLC, an affiliate of Grover Corlew, a Florida-based real estate investment management group, has acquired Orlando Central Office Park. The sale price was not disclosed.

The 21-building, 637,380 sq.-ft., office park is strategically located minutes from Orlando’s central business district. The park is 82 percent leased, with suites available ranging in size from 800 sq.-ft. to over 20,000 sq.-ft.

“This is a landmark property and an exceptional investment opportunity for us,” said Partner Anuj Grover, whose group is focused on acquiring, developing and operating office, retail and multi-family properties across the Southeast U.S. “Orlando Central’s submarket is undergoing a transformation as sites are being redeveloped in the immediate area. We are looking at improvements to the property in the short term with an eye on redevelopment over the next decade. The potential of Orlando Central is extraordinary.”

Area surrounding Orlando Central is booming

Orlando Central is ideally situated just north of East Colonial Drive across from Orlando Fashion Square Mall.  Orlando Fashion Square Mall, a 1.2 million sq.-ft. mall is undergoing a complete renovation. 

As part of that renovation, an estimated $26 million, 151-room boutique ecofriendly hotel is opening in 2017.  

The outdated Sears building is being demolished and replaced with a $19.9 million, 140,000 sq.-ft. redevelopment anchored by Orchard Supply Hardware and Floor & Décor. Dicks Sporting Goods recently opened a new store on the west side of the mall.

Mark Corlew
 Trammel Crow Residential has submitted plans to redevelop the northeast corner of the mall’s commercial space into a 356-unit, $50 million Class A multifamily complex. Elan Audobon Park, a 449-unit apartment complex, which abuts the property, was completed this year (and is part of the currently existing 2,000 multifamily units within a .5 mile radius of Orlando Central).

 Just south of Orlando Central, Colonial Plaza and Colonial Marketplace were recently redeveloped.

Located 3.5 miles east of Orlando’s central business district, the office park is immediately adjacent to the west of Baldwin Park, one of Orlando’s few “live, work, play” communities set within a dense, walkable community with the perfect mix of amenities, parks and recreation. 

Located just five minutes north is the City of Winter Park, one of Central Florida’s most affluent suburbs well-known for its historic roots and high-end retail.

“There is no question that Orlando is a thriving community which will only continue to become more desirable as Florida’s population continues to grow,” said Partner Mark Corlew. “We consider Orlando to be a strategic and important market to our organization as we continue to expand our footprint throughout the state.”
  
Grover Corlew has been an active developer and investor in and around Central Florida.  Grover Corlew recently redeveloped a former auto dealership in Vero Beach, a portion of which was redeveloped with a Wawa which sold earlier this month for $5.055 million.  In 2014, Grover Corlew sold Summer Palms, a 340-unit apartment complex in Riverview, for $31.7 million.

Grover Corlew will manage the property and Tower Realty will continue as the leasing agent. Chris Lee, lead broker with CBRE, represented G&C OC Investors, LLC with the project financing.
