The East Coast Retail Investment Team at Lavista Associates Negotiates Largest Sale of Multi-Tenant Retail Center in Jacksonville

ATLANTA - The East Coast Retail Investment Team at Lavista Associates, one of the Southeast’s leading commercial property brokers, based in Atlanta, recently negotiated the sale of Crossroads Square retail center on Blanding Blvd. at I-295 in Jacksonville, Fla.

Whitney Knoll, managing director of The East Coast Retail Investment Team at Lavista Associates and Pierce Mayson, director, negotiated the sale representing the seller, Abrams Properties, Inc. of Atlanta.

Global Fund Investments LLC, a real estate investment company headquartered in Miami Beach, acquired the 174,153 square foot power/community center. The sale represents the largest multi-tenant shopping center transaction in Jacksonville in more than three years.

“It’s always a pleasure to work with such veteran shopping center owners,” Knoll said. The sale was the third transaction Knoll has negotiated on behalf of long-time client Abrams Properties.

Over the past 36 months, Knoll has sold 35 properties in six states in the Southeast, totaling 3.3 million square feet. Property sales have generated more than $400 million in revenues.

Anchored by Floor & Decor, Office Depot, Dollar General and Harbor Freight Tools, Crossroads Square is 95 percent leased. Knoll said Lat Purser and Associates deserves some credit for the sale, as the property management firm has maintained a healthy 91+ percent occupancy at Crossroads Square retail center throughout the recession.

The purchaser assumed an existing Protective Life loan.

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty forms Strategic Partnership with Canin Associates Planners, Architects

ORLANDO - Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has formed a strategic partnership with Canin Associates urban planning, landscape architecture and architectural design studios in Orlando.

Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said the internationally recognized, full service, multi-disciplined design and architectural firm is a perfect match for Stirling Sotheby’s.

“Canin Associates will provide conceptual and product design services to Stirling Sotheby's agents and clients, including home owners, home buyers, builders, developers, and lenders,” Soderstrom said.

“With the emphasis today on bank-owned and short sale properties, many luxury home buyers can dramatically improve the value of their new purchase through creative design,” Soderstrom explained.

Canin Associates principal Tony Weremeichik is working closely with Stirling Sotheby's associates and their clients to help solve home design challenges, Soderstrom said.

Canin Associates will also serve Stirling Sotheby’s builder, developer and lender clients whose distressed properties can sometimes be dramatically improved with relatively minor redesign and repositioning, Soderstrom said.

“Today's consumers are changing their lifestyles, product needs and product designs,” said Soderstrom.

“Current economic conditions and worldwide recession have affected nearly everyone, and there are many new important design trends emerging as a result, including right-sizing floor plans, practical use of space, homes that grow and a renewed appreciation for curb appeal. Canin Associates has played a leading role identifying these changes and adapting them to practical use here in Central Florida,” he said.

Soderstrom said Stirling Sotheby’s and Canin Associates plan a print and video series of bi-monthly features for print and online distribution under the title of “Home Design Trends for the consumer-centric lifestyle.”

“We are developing a creative, informative and entertaining approach to helpful strategies that will appeal to renters, homeowners, new home buyers, home sellers, builders, developers, and lenders,” Soderstrom said.
