Avison Young closes $8.9M sale of 26,782 RSF Chase Bank office building in Weston, Florida December 21, 2020

Medical-based tenancy asset in high-barrier-to-entry submarket secures significant buyer interest

Weston, Florida – Avison Young’s Florida Capital Markets Group closed the $8.9 million sale of a 26,782-rentable-square-foot office building anchored by JP Morgan Chase Bank at 1040 Weston Road in Weston, Florida. HRE/SEFIRA Weston Office, LLC, was the seller, and Shaked 21, LLC, was the buyer in the transaction.

On behalf of the seller, the Chase Bank building sale was completed by Avison Young Principals David Duckworth; John K. Crotty, CCIM; Michael T. Fay, who is also Managing Director of the firm’s Miami operations; Vice President Brian C. de la Fé; and Associates Emily Brais and Berkley Bloodworth. In 2017, the Avison Young team facilitated the sale of the building to HRE/SEFIRA Weston Office, LLC, as part of a two-building portfolio spanning approximately 63,000 square feet for $13 million.

“The Chase Bank building is 100% occupied and, with medical tenants comprising more than 60% of the tenancy, garnered notable investor interest in a market where buyers are seeking stable, recession-proof assets,” said Duckworth. “Ultimately, our team secured the right buyer for the sale, allowing our client to realize a positive return on investment during a pandemic after a three-year hold.”

The HRE/SEFIRA partnership, led by Highline Real Estate Capital Principal David Moret, completed a series of cosmetic improvements to the Chase Bank building which enabled ownership to increase occupancy from 84% to 100% and increase rental rates to generate a 52% gain in the price within three years.

“Overall, sales activity has picked up since the end of the third quarter and into the fourth, as buyers have more clarity on where the market is going and are eager to place capital,” said Crotty. “The buyer in this deal acquired a property that has performed extremely well throughout the pandemic and is poised to continue to do so as we transition into the new normal.”

One of the most desirable, high-barrier-to-entry suburban office locations in Broward County, Weston is part of the Southwest Broward submarket, the only submarket in the county to report positive net absorption in third-quarter 2020.
