Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty named exclusive broker of the Historic Metcalf Building in Downtown Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has been named exclusive brokers for the historic Metcalf Building, located on S. Orange Avenue and Pine Street in Downtown Orlando directly across from The Plaza twin towers building.

Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in Orlando, said the historic 10 story building was one of Orlando’s first “skyscrapers” when it was constructed in the center of the central business district in 1923.

The nearly 40,000 square foot building served as Disney’s first Florida headquarters. The Metcalf building was extensively renovated and restored in 2003.

Current tenants include Lawyers Alvarez, Sambol & Winthrop, P.A., the downtown branch of TDBank and Tanqueray’s Bar and Grille, a popular downtown nightspot for more than 30 years.

Stirling’s commercial real estate specialists Jere Matheny and Mark Arnold listed the building for sale.

Matheny said the building will be extensively marketed to national and international buyers, real estate investment firms and potential investors.

Early interest in the building has come from Canada, the Mideast and South America. Stirling will be launching an extensive global marketing campaign that will include 580 Sotheby’s International Realty offices in 42 countries.

“There is a good chance the buyer will be an international real estate investor from outside the U.S.,” said Matheny.
