Native Realty Closes Pair of Off-Market Fort Lauderdale, FL Industrial Sales Totaling Over $3 Million

Amanda Roy

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Sept. 14, 2018 – Native Realty Founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis and his team of investment sales and leasing specialists keep closing transactions at an aggressive rate across all real estate sectors.

In the latest example, the firm completed the sale of two industrial properties in Fort Lauderdale for a combined $3.11 million.

 The off-market deals include the $1.86 million sale of a multi-tenant building at 501 SW Second Ave. in Fort Lauderdale’s emerging SoLo – or South of Las Olas – neighborhood. Legal Locker is among the tenants in the 8,025-square-foot building.

Jamie Sturgis

 Mylee, LLC of Coral Springs sold the property to 501 Urban Warehouse LLC of Aventura. Sturgis arranged the transaction.

 The building is across the street from the new Tarpon River Brewing, a restaurant and brewery opened by the owners of the Riverside Markets, Native Brewing Co. and the Restaurant People.

 Sturgis and the firm’s Amanda Roy also facilitated the $1.25 million sale of an 11,000-square-foot warehouse building at 916 NW Sixth Ave. Robin Enterprises of Fort Lauderdale sold the property to a Davie-based partnership.

“Our investment sales team is particularly adept at leveraging our deep knowledge of Fort Lauderdale and industry contacts to secure efficient and favorable outcomes for our clients,” Sturgis said.

Sara Dorfman

 “These deals reflect the strong demand for industrial product in the city’s urban core to keep up with the residential and professional population growth.”

In another recent off-market transaction, Sturgis and Roy closed the $6.75 million sale of mixed-use Seagrape Commons, a fixture in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for more than 50 years.

 Elsewhere in Fort Lauderdale, the firm’s Sara Dorfman completed the record-breaking sale of an Airbnb rental property in the city’s popular Victoria Park neighborhood in May 2018.

The 808-812 NE 16th Terrace 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.

 Native Realty is headquartered in Flagler Village’s the Hive – a popular complex with retail, restaurants, offices, a vintage arcade bar and yoga studio.

JLL Healthcare Report: The race is on to meet patients where they are; Phoenix aligns closely with national trends, healthcare market strength

Mari Lederman

PHOENIX, AZ,  Sept. 14, 2018 – Rising patient numbers and real estate spending point to long-term resilience for healthcare-related buildings – and Phoenix is no exception, according to JLL’s latest U.S. Healthcare Real Estate Outlook report and healthcare experts within the Phoenix office of JLL.

According to JLL, the key trends driving U.S. healthcare real estate that apply equally in Phoenix are:

·       Using new types of real estate in new and more locations to continue to capture growing patient demand. 

More diverse facilities improve the patient experience and win brand loyalty. Innovative settings such as 24-hour emergency care centers, urgent care, wellness and micro-hospitals are popping up in valuable retail locations.

Katie McIntyre

“In Phoenix, well-known names in Phoenix like Banner, Dignity and Honor Health want to be where the population is, making areas like Gilbert, Goodyear and even emerging communities like Laveen very popular for off-campus medical office locations,” said JLL Senior Associate Mari Lederman. 

·       Offering the right location with the right care – no more, no less – to mitigate decreasing reimbursements and operating income pressures. 

Outpatient centers often are less expensive to construct and operate than traditional hospitals.

"One of our clients, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, recently opened two off-campus clinics – one on North Phoenix and one in Scottsdale – designed specifically to offer chemotherapy treatments,” said JLL Senior Associate Katie McIntyre.

“They are actively pursuing more outpatient care centers now, the first of which will open in the Valley next April.”

According to JLL, on-campus medical office building vacancies sit at 17.6 percent while off-campus vacancy rates have decreased to 14 percent.

Through this migration, many users are looking for second-generation space to mitigate rising rents and construction costs, and offer a way to create space that works with their particular use.

·       Expanding and renovating inpatient settings to accommodate longer stays. 

With 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day for the next 20 years, there is an increased need for more effective space in more locations to serve older adults. 

Also, inpatient facilities will increasingly be focused on the sickest and most acute care needs, keeping hospitals a crucial piece of the healthcare delivery puzzle.

"Our large retirement population makes this extremely important in Arizona," said McIntyre. "As the aging patient population increases, the demand for more medical office buildings will also increase."
