“Glenbrook Commons commanded interest from a wide audience of private investors, and JLL reviewed more than 10 offers with the seller,” Leonhardt added.

“Fitness-anchored centers have made a remarkable comeback following the pandemic, and best-in-class, well-operated fitness clubs are seeing membership levels that exceed their pre-pandemic numbers.

 "Glenbrook Commons is perfectly situated to capture growth from the booming residential market in Clermont, making this an exceptional transaction for both seller and buyer.”

Originally constructed in 2009, Glenbrook Commons is anchored by Fitness CF, a strong-performing regional gym operator serving Central Florida.

The 98.4-percent-leased center is also home to a mix of service, healthcare and medical tenants, including US Taekwondo, China Gourmet, Gametime Barber Shop, The Cat Garden, Clermont Family Dentistry and Suncoast Premier Medical.

Further, there are three additional undeveloped pads included in the transaction that can be developed for future retail uses. Non-owned CVS Pharmacy and AutoZone outparcels help drive traffic to the property.

 Glenbrook Commons is positioned on a 15.6-acre site at 1714 US Highway 27 in Clermont, a booming Orlando suburb sought after by residents supporting the tourism, leisure and hospitality industries due to its proximity to the world-renowned Orlando Tourism corridor.

With more than 2,600 residential units planned or under construction, the area surrounding the property includes a population of 41,662 within a five-mile radius that is expected to balloon by nearly 14 percent by 2026.

Additionally, the nearest larger format gym is a Fitness CF location 12.6 miles north of the property, extending the drawing radius of the center.
