Sterling Investors paid $24.3 million for a fully occupied warehouse in Pompano Beach, Fla., property records show.
Located at 4000 Dixie Highway, the building spans 127,771 square feet and is home to the headquarters of Spice Lab, a seasoning and cookware company with a store in Fort Lauderdale.
The sale comes to just short of $190 a square foot.
The seller, Zurich Alternative Asset Management, bought the property for $15 million in 2017, a year after it was completed. In 2021, the Swiss asset manager spent $126,347 upgrading interiors, according to property records.
Representatives for both the New York-based buyer and the seller did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Pompano Beach, situated just north of Fort Lauderdale — South Florida’s second largest city — has attracted industrial investors. Last month, Prologis, one of the nation’s largest industrial landlords, paid $41.1 million for a 153,496-square-foot warehouse six miles south as part of a $3.1 billion portfolio sale.
Broward County’s industrial leasing market remains strong. Asking rents increased by 2.8 percent to $15.17 per square foot triple net during the second quarter of 2023, relative to the previous quarter, according to data from Colliers.
