Broward office tower sells for $43M
A 24-story office tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale sold for $43 million, and the buyers are looking to land new tenants.
Stockbridge 110 East Broward LLC, an affiliate of Stockbridge Capital, sold the 343,500-square-foot office at 110 E. Broward Blvd. The buyer was a partnership of Boca Raton-based Pebb Capital, Fort Lauderdale-based Intalex Capital and Delray Beach-based CDS International Holdings, led by wealthy businessman Carl DeSantis. Coral Gables-based Amerant Bank financed the deal.
The price equated to $125 a square foot. CBRE’s Christian Lee, Andrew Chilgren, Marcos Minaya and Sean Kelly brokered the deal. CDS also worked with Greenwall Capital Management and law firm Kapp Morrison.
Stockbridge acquired the building out of foreclosure in 2018 for $41.06 million, so it sold for a modest gain. The prior owner completed multimillion-dollar renovations to the common areas and lobby in 2021.
The tower was built on the 1.6-acre site in 1982. 
“This deal is a significant success for our portfolio, working nearly a year to finalize it as capital markets shifted,” said Todd Rosenberg, managing partner of Pebb Capital. “South Florida has remained a bright spot in domestic office activity, with strong fundamentals to continue this trajectory of business and population growth.”
The new owners hired Travis Herring and Katherine Ridgway of Cushman & Wakefield to lease the building. They have secured about 76,000 square feet of new tenants and are “actively negotiating” an additional 125,000 square feet of new leases. The building is just over 50% occupied, they said.
