FA Commercial Closes Deal For Strip Center

MIAMI - April 3, 2014 - PRLog -- FA Commercial is proud to announce the recent sale of the strip center property located at 4322 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, FL.  Fabio Faerman of FA Commercial brokered the deal as a representative of the seller.  Initially, Fabio was the broker who sold the property in 2009 while it was being leased to Blockbuster, a provider of home movies and video game rental services.  A few years later, Blockbuster was closed due to bankruptcy.  Instead of opening the property up to a new tenant in 2012, Fabio suggested that the building which was originally built in 1989 to be renovated and divided into three separate spaces.  After the renovation of the building, Fabio set out to bring in national tenants to the center, and soon enough Jimmy John’s and For Eyes had become the strip center’s new tenants.  Jimmy John’s is a well-known franchised gourmet sandwich restaurant that has grown to more than 1,800 locations and For Eyes is a major retail optical company that has been operating since 1972.

After the successful opening of the two new tenants, Fabio was able to broker the deal and the newly renovated property was sold for $1,220,000.  With the strip center having a land area of 18,388-square-feet and a 5,974-square-foot building size, the sale amounted to $204 per square foot.  The strip center is in close proximity to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike allowing for convenient access to Fort Lauderdale, Miami and other points of interest in the South Florida region.  Just a few minutes away is the location of the Young Circle ArtsPark which is a dynamic inner city park featuring 10 acres of lush green space, a spectacular fountain and a modern Amphitheater which is regularly used for public shows and concerts.  The deal proved to be very positive as the investor made an ROI of 78% and an IRR of 32% on the holding period.
