The transaction was a short sale on behalf of the owner and occupant, Frenzel Enterprises, Inc. The building was purchased by Powerline Road, LLC for use by a marble and granite sales and distribution company.
“It is encouraging to see suppliers related to the housing/construction industry back in the market,” said Harry Tangalakis, Senior Vice President with CBRE.
Located at 5301 North Powerline Road, just north of Commercial Boulevard, the property is located in Fort Lauderdale’s Gateway area.
“This sale represents a step towards changing dynamics in the market. Support and participation from the lender facilitated the short-sale transaction. It is also one of few buildings to have traded in the past three years in the Gateway area,” added Tangalakis.
