Suniland Center Sells for $66.5 Million

DAILY BUSINESS REVIEW — June 1, 2016 — BY CARLA VIANNA. A Pinecrest retail trade generated a hefty profit after a long hold.

The Suniland Shopping Center traded for $66.5 million in a deal that broke down to $811 per square foot – a dollar figure that falls on the higher end of the transaction spectrum in the upscale suburban market, said a broker involved in the deal.

Sunny Land Associates Ltd., an affiliate of Miami Beach-based Terranova Corp., was able to sell the 82,000-square-foot strip mall within four months. Under Terranova ownership since the mid-1990s, the center sold Friday to Denver-based real estate investment fund, Dividend Capital Property Fund Inc., which has $2.4 billion in holdings in 21 markets.

The two most radical changes on Miracle Mile will be 23-foot-wide sidewalks that can accommodate outdoor dining (sidewalks are currently 15 feet wide) and parallel parking along the street instead of angle parking. There will also be gardens, landscaping, more trees, decorative lighting and better directional signs, along with a new drainage system.
