Billion dollar pet industry moving into real estate; Bulldog Realtors Going to the Dogs in Santa Monica, CA

Golda Savage

SANTA MONICA, CA, March 6, 2019 -- Bulldog Realtors is betting on an estimated 85 million pet owners with their new retail space. 

On Guard!

The real estate company announces a benefit for rescue dogs at their retail location Bulldog Gallery on April 27 at 2909 Main St. in Santa Monica.

The real estate company created the gallery at the front of their real estate business--in order to locate to this specific location. Because of zoning rules, the company had to be a commercial retailer, so they converted the front of the space to a high end dog accessory shop. 

Rahil Taj

This special dog house designed by Los Angeles based furniture designer Taj Rahil will be on display and for sale (for $3,600), made to order. Silent auction items will be on offer as well. 

Founder/realtor Golda Savage says she "sells houses for people and dogs, too."

The Keyes Company’s Carlos Villanueva Represents Wild Fork Foods in Leases for the Retailer’s First Miami-Dade County Locations

Carlos Villanueva

MIAMI, FL, March 5, 2019 – The Keyes Company’s Carlos Villanueva successfully represented Wild Fork Foods – one of the world’s largest meat producers – in leases for the retailer’s inaugural Miami-Dade County store locations.

 Villanueva, who is District Sales Manager of the firm’s Coral Gables office, handled four transactions totaling more than 19,200 square feet in Coral Gables, Pinecrest and Doral.

Wild Fork Foods is known nationally for delivering a farm-to-fork experience through high-quality sourcing of protein, a blast-freezing process and same-day delivery to its store locations.

Sunniland Shopping Center, Miami, FL

Villanueva represented the retailer in the following transactions:

·         A 5,700-square-foot lease at 1180 S. Dixie Hwy. in Coral Gables. Wild Fork has opened the store, its first official retail location in Miami-Dade

·         More than 5,000 square feet in the Suniland Shopping Center at 11325 S. Dixie Hwy. in Pinecrest. The store is under construction and expected to open in the next six months

·         A 5,000-square-foot store at Northwest 41st Street and 101st Avenue in Doral, adjacent to LA Fitness. As with Pinecrest, the Doral store is under construction with a projected opening in the next six months

·         More than 4,383 square feet at 8601 NW 64th Street in Doral. This location will be used as a test kitchen

 

Mike Pappas

“I am proud to be the broker who helped launch Wild Fork into the Miami-Dade market,” Villanueva said. “I believe this is a strong business concept that should be extremely popular throughout the county and beyond.”

For Villanueva, the Wild Fork transactions continue the momentum from a busy fourth quarter of 2018. In November, Villanueva completed the $5.6 million sale of a portfolio of 57 rental apartments in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood to a New York investor.

  

“Carlos and the Keyes Commercial team continue to prove that our firm is a leader across all real estate sectors,” Keyes President and CEO Mike Pappas said. “We congratulate Carlos on these impressive lease transactions on behalf of an exciting new retailer for our local market.”

29th Street Capital Acquires Senior Housing Community in Norcross, GA

Shekinah Home for Seniors, Norcross, GA

Norcross, GA – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real estate investment and advisory firm, has acquired Shekinah Home, a community for seniors in Norcross, Georgia.

 The new owner plans to improve the quality of life and increase activities for the residents of the assisted living community.

In addition, 29SC plans cosmetic upgrades including modern flooring, new lighting and plumbing, and bathroom enhancements. Exterior improvements will include paint, landscaping, branding/signage and upgraded amenities.

“Shekinah Home is the perfect opportunity for 29SC to enter the senior housing market,” said Erik Kolacinski, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for Senior Housing. “We are excited to leverage 29SC’s outstanding track record to grow this new investment platform.”

Erik Kolacinski

The Atlanta metro area continues to exhibit strong economic vitality with steady job growth year over year. Figures show that the metro area had about 325,000 more jobs at the end of 2018 than it did before the recession.

Shekinah Home is a 25-unit assisted living facility located in the rapidly-growing Norcross suburb of Atlanta, which is near other highly-desirable northern suburbs including Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Brookhaven. Population growth within a three-mile radius of the property is expected to be approximately 13% over the next five years.

There are very few assisted living facilities within Gwinnett County according to 2018 data from the National Investment Center; none are in the area surrounding Shekinah. Three hospitals are within 10 miles and a pharmacy is directly across the street.

“Senior housing is about to experience a demand shock as the baby boomers enter the market over the next decade,” Kolacinski added. “29SC will offer high quality yet still affordable senior housing in a market with limited supply.”

The transaction closed February 28. The sale price was not disclosed.

The Park at Avilla Apartments, Brandon, FL

 

Brandon, FL – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real estate investment and advisory firm, has acquired The Park at Avilla and The Park at Pienza Apartments, a two property, 200-unit multifamily portfolio in Brandon, Florida.

29SC plans to make cosmetic improvements to unit interiors, including adding high-quality laminate countertops, vinyl plank flooring, modern paint schemes and stainless steel appliances.

The firm also plans value-creating improvements to the clubhouse, fitness center, grilling area, roofing, exterior staircases, landscaping and more. It will also implement plans to catch up on overdue maintenance issues.

The Tampa Bay area is experiencing strong population and employment growth. The average working age population growth in Tampa over the last two years is almost twice the national average.

The Park at Pienza Apartments, Brandon, FL

“29SC feels that the strong market fundamentals in the Tampa Bay area will continue for the foreseeable future and help drive renter demand,” said Ryan Smyth, Vice President of Acquisitions for Florida.

“The properties have easy access to several employment hubs in the Tampa Bay area as well as retail centers,” Smyth added. “Plus, more than 50 million square feet of office space, which is continuously growing, is within a 30 minute drive.”

The communities, which are two miles apart, are within 20 miles of downtown Tampa. Each has several restaurants and shopping centers nearby.

Ryan Smyth

The Park at Pienza is close to daily conveniences such as a Publix Super Market, Office Depot, PetSmart and several banks. The Park at Avilla is close to the J.C. Handly Sports Complex, Paul Sanders Park and Kings Row Shopping Center, which features an Xtreme Fit, post office and salon.

29th Street Capital closed on the purchase of the portfolio February 28. The sale price was not disclosed.
