Stonemont Financial Group Breaks Ground On 250,000-Square-Foot Industrial Complex in Ocoee, FL

Avery Dorr

 ORLANDO, FL – Stonemont Financial Group, a private real estate investment firm specializing in industrial development, acquisitions and net lease investments, has broken ground on a seven-building, 259,255-square-foot industrial development in Ocoee, Florida just inside the State Road 429 corridor.

Called 429 Business Center, the complex is expected to be completed by Q4 2024. Stonemont is partnering with SCOA Real Estate Partners in the project.

 

“There is a strong demand for facilities that can accommodate users within a smaller size range, and this project is a testament to Stonemont’s ability to recognize this need and get the job done despite ongoing market headwinds,” said Avery Dorr, vice president at Stonemont.

 “This site is one of the last infill locations available within the immediate area, and Stonemont continues to serve as a solution to ongoing corporate needs for all types of users.

 

429 Business Center will be located on two sites fronting Ocoee Apopka Road, close to the Palm Drive intersection. The west campus will include four buildings ranging from 36,429 square feet to 71,228 square feet, with the east campus encompassing three buildings ranging from 14,282 square feet to 32,418 square feet.

 

The development will offer direct access to State Road 429 and sits just 15-20 miles from Walt Disney World®, providing premium access for users who supply goods to the entertainment destination.

The Easton Group Acquires 45,022 Square-Foot Medley, FL Distribution Center from Frito Lay

Dalton Easton,
 Doral, FL and Medley, FL—The Easton Group has acquired a 45,022-square-foot warehouse distribution facility at 12850 NW 113th Court in Medley for $16.82 million.  

 

The seller is the chips and snack maker Frito Lay.  Frito Lay will remain as a tenant for the time being but is planning to relocate to a larger facility in the near future.   The transaction closed Dec. 20, 2023.

 

Dalton Easton, an associate with Easton & Associates, the real estate firm’s brokerage division, arranged the sale on behalf of The Easton Group.  Jeff Hartsook of Cresa represented the seller. Grove Bank and Trust helped finance the acquisition with a $9 million loan. 

 

The Medley facility sits on a 6.5-acre site about a half mile from the Florida Turnpike.  Built in 1999, it has 44 dock doors and a ramp providing quick loading and turnaround times for delivery truck drivers.  

 

“We are bullish on the Medley sub-market and are excited to continue to add high-quality assets to our portfolio,” said Easton.

 

“We are especially excited about this acquisition as we were faced with a year-end closing with a tight timeframe and were able to deliver amidst a challenging interest rate environment.


 Jeff Hartsook 
 "We think there is tremendous long-term upside at this basis with the temporary stabilization or regression in land values due to high borrowing and construction costs.”

 

Easton added that because this is a low-coverage property with excess land, there is a unique opportunity for future tenants to occupy a Class A industrial facility with additional improved land for parking or outdoor storage.

 

The Easton Group has approximately 900,000 square feet of new industrial development set to open in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties in 2024.

IRVINE, CA JLL Capital Markets has arranged the first $15.45 million lien construction financing for 6100 Main, an 87-unit, multi-housing community located in Los Angeles, California.

Located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone, the project is designed as a four-story podium that will utilize modular unit construction.

 

The community will be developed on a 0.52-acre site, and upon completion, it will consist of 87 one-bedroom units with stainless steel appliances, well-appointed kitchens, engineered wood floors and soft-close cabinets. Community amenities will include a community room, a spacious roof deck, a ground-floor garage and secure bicycle parking.

Situated at 6100 S. Main Street, the project’s central location at the southeast corner of S. Main Street and 61st Street in the Greater Inglewood submarket of Los Angeles offers residents direct access to the Interstate-110 ramps and three bus lines that stop at the corner of S Main Street and 61st Street, directly in front of the community.

 

 Several grocery stores are within a 10-minute walk from the site, including Food4Less, Northgate Market and Superior Grocers.

 

Future residents will also be just a 15-minute drive to both LAX and downtown LA. Additionally, nearby developments include the brand new LAFC soccer stadium, the future George Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts at Exposition Park, the USC Village and the renovation of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
