BOCA RATON, Fla., June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Herrick Company, Inc., one of the nation’s largest real estate investment firms, announced that it has sold a two-acre oceanfront property in Pompano Beach, Fla., to a joint venture partnership for development as a residential condominium. Chris Wood of CBRE represented both the buyer and the seller in this transaction.
The site was sold by Herrick for $10.5 million, representing a significant increase in value from when Herrick first purchased the property in 2007 for approximately $4 million. This prime beachfront development site is zoned for 81 residential units.
“The southeast Florida market has been incredibly active, with strong interest in prime development opportunities from both foreign and domestic investors looking to capitalize on healthy demand, particularly in the condominium sector,” said Norton Herrick, chairman of The Herrick Company. “We purchased this site in Pompano Beach when the market was heading into a down cycle, which allowed us to realize significant returns from its recent disposition.”
Added Herrick: “We will look to redeploy the proceeds from this sale into new real estate opportunities, targeting oceanfront or intercoastal land sites in southeast Florida, as well as investments that will expand our portfolio of investment grade, single-tenant, long-term net leased assets throughout the country.”
