McCraney Property Company Closes on Sale of Boca Logistics Center
ORLANDO, Fl. (Feb.23,2023) McCraney Property Company (“McCraney”), a leading industrial real estate developer and manager, has closed on the sale to an affiliate of Ares Management Corporation of the Boca Logistics Center (the “Project”), a 119,117 square foot Class “A” industrial project in Boca Raton, FL. CBRE National Partners (“CBRE”) assisted McCraney in the sale, led by President Chris Riley and Vice Chairman Frank Fallon. Butters Construction & Development was the general contractor on the site.
Located at 644-646 Park of Commerce Way, Boca Logistics Center was built on one of the last remaining undeveloped sites in The Park at Broken Sound. The Project is strategically positioned with direct visibility from I-95 and excellent access to the interstate via Yamato Road. The location is an ideal business destination for companies, large and small, from global headquarters to entrepreneurial start-ups.
“The Boca Logistics Project by McCraney Property Company (and Ed Mitchell) is the only new first class industrial property to be built since 2000 in Boca Raton. The location in the Park at Broken Sound, easy accessibility to I-95, along with the first class industrial features that come with a McCraney building and the ability to lease spaces starting at 15,000 square feet are creating quite a demand for this facility,” said Michael Falk, SIOR, CCIM, Executive Director of Colliers South Florida, LLC.
The Project consists of two industrial buildings totaling 78,452 and 40,665 square feet, respectively. Units starting at ±15,000 square feet will be available for lease in Q2 2023.
The sale represents one of the best light distribution deliveries in Palm Beach County, setting a new standard for pricing in the market. Boca Raton remains a highly desired submarket for industrial with low vacancy and substantial rent appreciation last year. Per Colliers, warehouse direct asking rents in Palm Beach County grew more than 20% between Q4 2021 and Q4 2022.
“I just want to note that despite the headwinds from the ongoing credit crunch, this represents one of the best executions in the market,” said Chris Riley, President of Capital Markets U.S. Industrial & Logistics for CBRE.
