nestled between the I-95 and the high traffic count of biscayne
boulevard, palm square offers the perfect shopping selection for
value shoppers. this 12-tenant, 16,200 square foot space offers a
significant re-positioning opportunity occupying just over 1 acre.
the exterior will receive new paint and a new roof to invite a
modern look. the property was constructed in 1992 and many of the
interior spaces are outdated. the original electrical, plumbing, and
drywall will be replaced to invite a new selection of tenants. the
current anchor tenant is golden one oriental spa occupying 2400
square feet. other tenants include live house clothing, north dade
auto tag agency, ferrera embroidery and printing, and the island
grocer.
the renovations will be marketed to attract top-tier “mom and
pops” who will replace current occupants. the property is about 15.4
miles north of the glitz and glamour of south beach, so this
property appeals to the family-conscious consumer who enjoys
supporting small businesses in their Miami neighborhood.
torbert real estate group is a real estate development firm founded
in 2010 with offices in miami and los angeles. the company focuses
on commercial redevelopment in metro areas of the united states.
this project is offering $1,350,000 in shares to
investors who should expect annualized
yields of 10.39%.
