WESTON, FL – Transwestern’s South Florida industrial team today announces it negotiated a 17,419-square-foot, long-term lease extension on behalf of Contract Manufacturing Solutions Inc. (now known as Nikao), a product designer and manufacturer, at Weston Business Plaza at 1800-1880 N. Commerce Parkway in Weston, Florida.
Transwestern Senior Managing Directors Ben Eisenberg and Walter Byrd, Managing Director Thomas Kresse, and Vice President Carlos Gaviria facilitated the transaction, maintaining the 66,819-square-foot industrial asset’s 100 percent occupancy status.
“The lease extension provided a mutually beneficial opportunity for our long-standing client to continue operating from an ideal location along Interstate 75,” said Eisenberg.
Elion Partners’ Director of Asset Management Andrew Rohacik represented the firm during the transaction. Elion Partners purchased Weston Business Plaza in March 2018.
According to Transwestern’s research, the Southwest Broward submarket experienced healthy industrial demand in second quarter 2018, with 188,904 square feet absorbed, the highest in Broward County. The demand validates the significant amount of space delivered to the area recently, which caused a rise in vacancy to 11.3 percent. Overall, the county’s industrial market vacancy rate remains at a historic 5 percent.
