The Offices at Plantation Walk, a newly renovated building in a mixed-use property in Broward County, has a new owner.

The property, at 261 North University Drive, is 92 percent leased and has a five-story parking garage. Tenants include health care company Aetna, whose name is atop the seven-story building.

Tampa-based Vision Properties took a $37.4 million mortgage from Synovus Bank, which closed Thursday, according to public documents. The office building at Plantation Walk recently underwent a $15 million renovation. Work included a redesigned lobby, new windows, elevator upgrades and refreshed bathrooms, CBRE said.

“The seller completed an outstanding renovation project that helped to attract a strong list of national and regional tenants to the project,” Christian Lee, a vice chairman at CBRE, said in a statement.

In addition to Lee, CBRE’s José Lobón and Marcos Minaya and Jay Adams of Newmark (NMRK) brokered the transaction.
