Ron Osborne Negotiates $342 PSF Sale Of Auto Repair Facility In Off-Market Transaction
Ron Osborne, Managing Director/Broker of Sperry CGA-RJ Realty, negotiated the sale of an auto repair facility located at 770 N State Road 7 in Plantation, Florida.
Osborne represented both sides of the transaction, including seller, DOXATO LLC, and Buyer, GCDC 2 LLC, in the transaction. Osborne sourced the buyer from Argentina, an entity he had previously worked with.
The property consists of a 17,000-square-foot site with a 4,408 square foot fully functional auto repair facility with 3 overhead doors with room for 7- 8 lifts. The property was formally used as a transmission shop.
The deal closed December 29, 2021.
The total transaction has a value of $1,509,000, or $342 per square foot, which includes the real estate and chattel mortgage on the equipment.
“The Seller approached a neighboring property owner and offered him the property, who is a current client,” explained Osborne. “Knowing that I am the Automotive Property specialist in the area, he referred the owner to me. Our biggest challenge in the sale was tenant’s right of first refusal on the lease, however it was written that the tenant had to match the offer exactly. Since our Buyer presented an all-cash offer with proof of funds for the purchase price and a very large deposit, that stipulation became a non-issue.”
The deal represented Osborne’s sixth automotive transaction in Broward County in 2021, with all of the sales or leases transactions closing at the top of the market.
Sperry CGA-RJ Realty will be leasing and managing the property.
“The current tenant will be vacating sometime late January and we should be able to deliver the space first of March,” Osborne said.
Offering rent will be $28.00 NNN.
