FIP Realty Takes Part In $14.5M Purchase of Wynwood Properties

with information from The Real Deal

In association with Marcus & Millichap, FIP Realty’s Commercial Division represented East End Capital on the $14.5M purchase of three Wynwood warehouse properties located at 310 through 318 NW 25 Street, adjacent to East End’s planned Wynwood 25 mixed-use development. 

The properties encompass 26,700 square feet that make up three adjacent warehouses and a 6,000-square-foot parking lot. The space will be available for lease, offering an opportunity for a large-footprint user to include outdoor space and/or off-street parking. It is ideally-located at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and NW 25 Street, where the pilot project for a Wynwood “woonerf” (shared street concept) is proposed to be located.

Andy Charry of FIP Realty and Marcus & Millichap’s Jon Gerszberg brokered the off-market deal.

“At the end of the day, they were the natural buyers. They can now do a much nicer development,” Charry commented. “It’s right at the intersection of 25th and Third so in terms of location, it’s superior to anywhere on 25th [Street].”

East End Capital plans to lease the warehouses, built in 1951, for a large footprint user with outdoor space and parking. A shared-street concept called a “woonerf” has also been proposed for that intersection.

“We are excited to add these properties to our Wynwood portfolio and look forward to bringing artistic and creative companies that add to the unique fabric of the neighborhood,” said Marc Gitto, Director of East End Capital.

Earlier this year FIP Realty’s Dave Colonna sold 1.84 Acres of land with more than 40,000 square feet of buildings belonging to the Miami Rescue Mission for $22M and most recently closed on the sale of almost 1 acre of land for redevelopment on NW 54th St. The company has a consistent track record of successful deals, representing commercial sellers and buyers, which has helped FIP Realty significantly to build a strong portfolio and a solid reputation in the commercial properties market.

Faith Investment Properties has offices in Aventura for the Residential Division and in Wynwood for all commercial transactions offering a wide range of Investments including Multifamily, Retail Plazas, and Office buildings in South Florida.

Faith Development lands $23M construction loan for new Aventura office condos

Medical Building South Florida

With construction well underway, Faith Development just scored a $22.9 million loan to help finance its upcoming office condo project, Aventura Medical Tower, aimed at healthcare providers.

The loan was issued by TotalBank and covers Faith’s 70,650-square-foot development site at 2801 Northeast 213st Street, which sits only a few blocks from Aventura Hospital.

Details about the loan were not immediately available, though county records show this is the second piece of financing taken out on the land. The first was a $9 million balloon mortgage from Edward Faith in June 2015, when the Faith Development bought the assemblage for $8.51 million.

Faith Development’s plans for the site include a 12-story office tower, with its floors split between 7 parking levels with 472 spaces and five floors of office suites housing roughly 100,000 square feet, according to the developer.

The tower is being marketed to doctors and other healthcare providers, who could take advantage of the building’s planned first-floor pharmacy, a full-service valet and a shuttle traveling to and from Aventura Hospital.

Suites for sale in the building range from 817 square feet to a full floor with 19,882 square feet. The offices are being delivered raw, but Faith is offering build-to-suit options for buyers.

FIP Realty Breaks Ground On Aventura MOB

Medical Building South Florida

Miami-based FIP Management is rolling the dice on Aventura’s first medical office condo project in the area. Of course, it’s not a big gamble since FIP already has pre-sold two-thirds of the office space.

FIP Management is breaking ground this week on Aventura Medical Tower, a 12-story medical office building that is being marketed as office condominiums to physician practices who want walking access to Aventura Hospital & Medical Center. The $27M project at 2801 NE 218 St has already pre-sold office units to a number of physician groups, including to Dr. Jeff Gelblum, a noted neurologist in Miami who also is a principal in the project. With that and construction financing in the kitty, Aventura Medical Tower should deliver by fall 2017.

Jeff notes that medical office space around hospitals in Miami is rare to come by. And rents have escalated greatly since the Great Recession. In fact, National Real Estate Investor noted last year that Miami MOB rents were among the 10th-highest in the nation at an average of just over $25/SF. Miami’s 11.1M SF MOB market is 92.5% leased as well, according to Colliers International. Jeff says physicians were sold on the idea of owning office space and paying a steady and predictable mortgage versus chancing it on rents that don’t seem to be headed south anytime soon. “The problem is there’s not enough office space to go around,” Jeff says.

Miami Rescue Mission obtained $22 million for its Wynwood property

The Miami Rescue Mission collected $22 million from the sale of most of its property in Miami’s hot Wynwood neighborhood.

The nonprofit announced in April 2015 that it hired FIP Realty Services to list the majority of its land in Wynwood for sale. Since then, the city approved a neighborhood rezoning that allows up to 150 units per acre of residential buildings of up to 12 stories. It’s already become a hot spot for art, restaurants and retail.

The Miami Rescue Mission sold 1.8 acres with 31,630 square feet of buildings in two deeds to RS JZ NW1 2200 LLC, an affiliate of Brooklyn-based RedSky Capital and London-based JZ Capital. AB Commercial Real Estate Debt provided a $12.6 million loan for the deal.

The price equates to $282 square feet of land.
