Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates | RJ Realty’s Ron Osborne Reps Buyer In Purchase Of Davie Retail Building

Metro-by-T-Mobile-Pine-Island-Plaza-in-Davie-FL-800x533

Ron Osborne, Managing Director/Broker of SperryCGA | RJ Realty, represented  GCDC4 LLC, a foreign investor, in the purchase of a 3,200-square-foot, free-standing retail building outparcel located at 9180 W. State Road 84 in Davie, Florida.

The buyer purchased the property from CR Ridge Plaza LLC for $2,400,000.00, representing a 6.2% cap rate.

The deal closed December 16.

The property is currently occupied by Metro By T-Mobile on a corporate lease with 4+ years remaining. Metro has occupied the property for 20 years.

The transaction marks the fifth in which Osborne has represented the investor in the last 12 months. They will continue to acquire prime real estate in which they find strong financial fundamentals. The last two transactions have shown the trend in adjusting capitalization rate increases as interest rates increase.

In October, Osborne represented GCDC LLC in the purchase of a 5,300-square-foot retail automotive repair facility in the same retail plaza. GCDC, LLC purchased the property from CR Ridge Plaza LLC for $2,967,9335, representing a 6.2% cap rate.

Ronald Osborne“We expect the rates to continue to increase over the next several months,” commented Osborne. “This will be in both single and multi-tenant properties. Properties that are not in prime locations will see even a greater increase in rates. We are in a shifting market from a seller’s market to a stabilized market. With the lack of liquidity, a cash buyer that does not need a loan will be able to move quickly and close on transactions at better returns than those seeking financing.”

 

“I also believe the additional cost of windstorm insurance here in South Florida will drive cap rates upward,” Osborne continued. “Buyers that pay cash or those that have a good relationship with their lenders that can waive the windstorm insurance requirement will be critical in the sale of property this coming year. We looked at several STNL properties over the last four months and could not find one in the South Florida market that would offer a reasonable return and future upside. This property offers both and the client hopes to purchase another property in the first Quarter of next year. They will be looking at both single and multi-tenant properties in 2023.”

The property was listed by Stan Johnson Company.

Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates | RJ Realty’s Ron Osborne Reps Buyer In Purchase Of Ridge Plaza Auto & Tire Center

Ridge Plaza Tire & Auto Center

Ron Osborne, Managing Director/Broker of SperryCGA | RJ Realty, represented the Buyer, GCDC LLC, a foreign Investor, in the purchase of a 5,300-square-foot retail automotive repair facility located at 9190 W. State Road 84 in Davie Florida.

The deal closed October 28.

GCDC, LLC purchased the property from CR Ridge Plaza LLC for $2,967,9335, representing a 6.2% cap rate.

The property is currently occupied by Ridge Plaza Auto & Tire Center. The operator has occupied the property for 38 years and has 8+ years remaining on the lease with an annual 2% rent increase.

This is the fourth transaction in which Mr. Osborne has represented this investor in the last 12 months and the first transaction in which the buyer secured financing. Osborne has a fifth purchase under contract and is scheduled to close before the end of the year on an all cash abasis with a cap rat of 6.2%.

Ronald Osborne“As a foreign investor without a US residence, it was extremely difficult to find a lender willing to make the loan even with 50% down,” explained Osborne. “Ultimately, we were able to obtain a first mortgage with the assistance of Manuel Huerta of Interamerican Bank.”

Osborne has represented GCDC, LLC for the last year and they are looking to acquire additional properties this coming year. Due to the higher cost of capital and the cost of Windstorm Insurance, they will be seeking higher returns.

“With the current cap rates lower than in other parts of the country, we believe market will see higher cap rates in the near future, especially here in South Florida, as interest rates increase and the additional cost of Windstorm Insurance,” Osborne added. “Buyers that can pay all cash or have a good relationship with the lender that will waive the windstorm insurance will be critical in the sale of property within the coming year. We looked at several STNL properties over the last 4 months and could not find one in the South Florida market that would offer a reasonable return and future upside. This property offers both and we hope to purchase another property from the same group shortly.”

The property was listed by Stan Johnson Company.
