Land Buy Initiates $84M Andalusia Plaza

CORAL GABLES, FL-Strategic Properties pays $14 million for 1.7 acres on Douglas Road for development of a 213,000-sf class A office building.

CORAL GABLES, FL-Locally based Strategic Properties Group has acquired a 1.7-acre vacant parcel at 2263 Douglas Rd. for $14 million with plans to develop Andalusia Corporate Plaza. The parcel, located 50 yards from the Miracle Mile shopping district, has been rezoned to accommodate the 15-story, 213,000-sf class A office building, which Strategic is developing on spec at an estimated all-in cost of $84 million.

“Coral Gables has the lowest office vacancy rate in all of South Florida,” Henry Pino, founder and president of Strategic, tells GlobeSt.com, estimating the current vacancy rate at 4%. “There is virtually no available class A office space,” he adds. The company, which was founded five years ago, has disposed of its residential properties, Pino says with some relief, and Andalusia is part of the company’s shift to office-only development. It recently completed an office condo property on Biscayne Boulevard, which Pino says has been well received.
