MIAMI—In a record setting sale, the Furniture Market building in Hialeah, FL has traded hands. The warehouse property sold for $6.5 million, or $50.83 per square foot.

According to Sperry Van Ness, at over $50 per square foot, the sale represents one of the highest prices on a warehouse over 100,000 square feet in the Airport East submarket in the past five years. Atlantic Investors Group acquired the asset through affiliate 1000 Hialeah Partners.

“Expanding our presence in Miami-Dade, and Hialeah in particular, allows us to provide an investment opportunity that is readily understood by our clients, who like the idea of participating in the area's strong growth," says Sandy Stice, president of Atlantic. “Joel extracted a 'top of the market' price for his client, but did a masterful job of helping us with getting our financing and working with our lender, Florida Community Bank, to help them understand the unique attributes of this building and location.”

Sperry's Joel Kattan and Anthony Peragine represented the seller, Furniture Mart. The 127,867-square-foot industrial asset sits on about four acres at 1000 Hialeah Drive in Hialeah. Peragine, a senior advisor at Sperry, this sale is an indicator of the rising values not only in Airport East, but in all Miami-Dade industrial submarkets. Kattan agrees.

"Airport East remains a great alternative location for warehouse users, and even at these prices, it is the cheapest industrial submarket for functional buildings in Miami-Dade," says Kattan, a senior director at Sperry. "Just three to four years ago this submarket was only commanding sales in the $30 per square foot range and now we are seeing $50s per square foot."
