Buildings sold in LPGA area
A four-building office portfolio sold for $11,425,000 in less than 45 days to an undisclosed local private investor recently. The sale was coordinated by SVN Alliance principals and senior advisors Chris Butera, Carl Lentz IV, CCIM; Tim Davis, CCIM; and John Trost, CCIM, according to a press release.
The seller of the 66,000-square-feet portfolio was Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co.
The portfolio comprised the two-story Concierge office building at the northeast corner of LPGA and Williamson Boulevards, two buildings on Williamson in the Mason Commerce Center and a building in Williamson Business Park. The buildings were self-developed by Consolidated-Tomoka between 2008 and 2014. The occupancy rate at the time of sale was 100 percent for the entire portfolio, according to the release.
“The portfolio represented a unique investment opportunity in a robust area of Daytona Beach,” Butera said. “The buyer quickly realized the quality of the investment, the excellent tenant mix, and pounced on it, closing in less than 45 days.”
SVN Alliance is located at 1275 W. Granada Blvd Suite 5B, Ormond Beach.
