Michael Rauch, President and Managing Partner of CRE Florida Partners recently completed the sale of two freestanding office properties in Dania Beach.Ā Both office properties located at 3201 Griffin Road.

Rauch originally sold the property to the ownership of Gulfstream International Airlines in 2005, which was used by the airline until 2010 as the companyā€™s corporate headquarters. Gulfstream was sold in 2010 to Silver Airways. The owner of Gulfstream retained the buildings. Rauch was retained in 2012 to lease and stabilize the property for sale.

3201 Griffin Road-Dania Beach 2The asset was purchased by Miami-Dade investment group Salomon Investment Inc. as part of an IRC1031 exchange. Salomon purchased the Ā±30,379 SF office property for $3,120,000 or Ā±$103 per square foot on a Ā±6.5% capitalization rate. At the time of sale, the property was approximately 93% occupied.

ā€œThe sale of the Gulfstream International Airlines property represents the conclusion of several years of asset-repositioning for an investment sale,ā€ commented Rauch. ā€œThe sales price also reflects a slow trend in strengthening office values in South Florida, which is badly needed and long overdue,ā€ he added.

The deal closed March 31.Ā  The buyer represented itself in the transaction.
