MIAMI-PriceSmart Inc., which operates membership-based shopping warehouse clubs in the Caribbean and Central America, has signed a 10-year, 127,000-sf lease at Flagler Station in Medley. Transwestern managing directors Walter Byrd and Ben Eisenberg, along with VP Thomas Kresse, represented PriceSmart while landlord Flagler Development represented itself.
The total value of the transaction is $9.5 million, according to Transwestern. PriceSmart previously leased at Flagler Station, and is expanding into 40% larger space that will serve as its primary distribution center. It is anticipated that the new center will become operational in June.
"After evaluating several alternatives, it was determined that the best available location to fill PriceSmart's needs was an existing space within Flagler Station that was being vacated by another tenant," says Byrd.
