Retail Property Transactions

In Jacksonville, SRS Real Estate Partners announced the $11.09 million sale of "Shops at Race Track," a 16,998-square-foot retail property located at 4560 Race Track Road. The property, situated on 2.39 acres and fully leased to six tenants including Heartland Dental and Avecina Medical, is a key component of the Durbin Park mixed-use development. SRS Capital Markets represented the seller, while a private real estate investor based in New York and Jacksonville, represented by Sean McGill, was the buyer. This acquisition aligns with the buyer’s strategy of acquiring unanchored retail strip centers through 1031 exchanges.

Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, Fuqua Development has sold the 4501 66th St. N property for $7.8 million. The 97,502 sq. ft. newly remodeled, two-tenant retail center features national anchors Five Below and At Home and is shadow-anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market. Katz & Associates, represented by Daniel Solomon and Jon Cashion, facilitated the sale on behalf of Fuqua Development.

Residential Developments and Closings

Miami’s real estate scene is heating up with the commencement of closings at The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami. This 12-story building, featuring 228 pied-à-terre-style condominiums, is the first standalone residential property for The Standard brand globally. Located between the Design District and Wynwood, the development boasts over 34,000 square feet of amenity spaces, including a rooftop pool, restaurant, and various social and co-working lounges. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is handling sales and marketing for the project.

Municipal Growth and Annexations

The city of Sebastian is expanding its footprint with the approval of a 382-acre annexation south of 69th Street. This move is expected to accommodate up to 900 homes, with plans for a 55+ community developed by Kolter Homes. The annexation aims to ensure controlled growth and density management for the city. This follows a previous annexation of 204 acres north of 73rd Street, known as Sebastian Pines, which is slated for up to 612 homes.
