“This was a particularly challenging closing due to the REO status of the 715 SW 17th Ave. property. Fortunately we were able to navigate the requirements on behalf of the buyer, HRA Properties and CREIG Corporation, resulting in a successful trade,” commented Rauch.

The high profile building, 725 SW 16th Avenue, is located East of I-95 and North of Linton Boulevard at SW 16th Avenue. Both of the buildings required significant capital investment to bring them into a “ready to lease” condition.

Robertson added, “Both transactions are great examples of private investors seeking well-located, value-added opportunities with some vacancy to provide upside through lease-up.  Palm Beach County’s industrial vacancy rate is approaching 7%, down from 9% earlier this year, with net absorption of nearly 37,000 SF in the third quarter, creating an even greater desire for investment in the county and greater South Florida area.”

The owners of the properties, MF Associates East Delray, LLC (725 SW 16th St.) and CREIG Corp. (715 SW 17th Ave.) were also represented by Robertson.
