Cordova Building In Fort Lauderdale Trades For $7 Million In Off-Market Office Transaction

The Cordova Building in Fort Lauderdale has sold for $7 million in an off market transaction. Southern Centers Associates I LP, led by longtime Fort Lauderdale developers and investors Kevin Buckley and Randall Kella, sold the 1500 Cordova Road property to Sunrise-based Centerline Capital Advisors. The transaction closed on April 6 and was represented Native Realty CEO Jaime Sturgis who represented both sides of the transaction.

The 29,333-square-foot office building sits on a 0.8-acre property. Willis Tower Insurance and Luke Brown Yachts are two of the building’s notable tenants. Sturgis was engaged by the seller to handle the discreet off-market disposition process.

Centerline actively purchases and manages income-producing assets in South Florida. The company was launched in 2013 to continue the legacy of predecessor Centerline Homes, a prolific homebuilder that was acquired by Standard Pacific.

The Cordova Building sale is Native’s second significant closing in the past few days. Sturgis and Senior Associate Dan Ross represented the sellers in the $11 million sale of the future site of Advantis Station at Flagler Village on March 31. The duo brought together four different property owners to complete that transaction.

“From complex land assemblages to trophy office buildings, we are making significant deals happen in a tight market with limited inventory,” Sturgis said. “With the off-market Cordova Building sale, we identified the right buyer to execute quickly and allow the seller to have a smooth exit. We are actively looking for more inventory to help sellers realize maximum value for their properties.”
