The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Regency Centers.  LBX Investments purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt.  Additionally, the HFF team worked on behalf of the new owner to place the five-year, fixed-rate loan with First Florida Integrity Bank.

Alafaya Commons is situated on 18.8 acres at 11792-11970 East Colonial Drive at the ‘main and main’, 13-lane signalized intersection of East Colonial Drive and Alafaya Trail, which, at 94,500 vehicles per day, is one of the most heavily traveled intersections in east Orlando.  

The center is one mile south of Central Florida Research Park’s 9,500 employees and two miles south of the University of Central Florida, the largest university in the U.S. with more than 66,000 students.

“Alafaya Commons is located at one of the most vibrant intersections in all of Orlando with 94,500 cars per day,” Peterson said.  

“The area has seen explosive growth driven by the University of Central Florida, STEM employment and residential development, and is a ‘must have’ for national retailers.  

"Both the seller, Regency Centers, and LBX Investments were outstanding to work with on this assignment.”

“We were pleased to source an acquisition loan for LBX that met all of their financing objectives, thanks to the creativity of First Florida Integrity and the strong retail fundamentals in this trade area,” Van Reken added.
