Merrick Manor, the luxury mixed-use building developed by the Henry Torres-led Astor Companies, continues to generate strong interest from investors seeking Class A commercial real estate in Coral Gables.
For instance, Astor just closed the $5.44 million sale of several retail condominiums, including two units occupied by popular fitness studio Sweat 440.
Prisma Properties LLC acquired Merrick Manor commercial units CU3, CU8-9 and CU10 in a transaction that closed on Apr. 26. ONE Sotheby’s International Realty Global Commercial director Manny Chamizo III, the exclusive sales representative for Merrick Manor’s 20,000 square feet of prime ground-floor commercial space, brokered the sale.
Merrick Manor’s ground-floor retail space now is fully leased or owned by owner/users.
Chamizo has now set his sights on selling the remaining leased units for those wanting to gain access to the city’s hot multifamily market with a solid return.
Sweat 440 occupies 3,055 square feet in CU8-9. The high-intensity interval training (HITT) studio has a passionate following among its members, which range from beginners to fitness enthusiasts. Sweat 440 has locations in Florida, New York and Canada.
The 1,307-square-foot CU3 is currently utilized as the Sales Gallery for Merrick Manor’s limited inventory of available luxury residences. Located at 301 Altara Ave., next to the world-class Shops at Merrick Park and in the middle of the city’s Design and Innovation District, Merrick Manor is experiencing brisk residential sales activity and is on pace to sell out within the next six months.
M&B Dental Associates PA, led by renowned aesthetic dentist and decorated U.S. Navy veteran Dr. Ivan Mendoza, occupies the 1,669-square-foot CU10. M&B and Sweat 440 are part of Merrick Manor’s Health and Beauty Corridor, which also includes Anaïs Nails & Spa, Body Details, Elegance Beauty Salon and Trésor.
“Our success in curating Merrick Manor’s ground-floor retail space with a dynamic mix of tenants, which comprise the building’s Health and Beauty Corridor, played a major role in this new investment sales transaction,” Chamizo said. “The buyer recognized that prime commercial real estate like this is at a premium in Coral Gables. We are proud to produce another tremendous outcome at Merrick Manor.”
The sale to Prisma comes as another signature Merrick Manor commercial tenant, high-end furniture retailer Sierra Muebles, prepares to open its first U.S. showroom at the building in the next few months. A Peru-based retailer that has exclusive representation of the Brazilian brand in Peru and Miami-Dade County leases Merrick Manor’s largest commercial space, which totals 4,448 square feet.
“This transaction underscores the long-term belief in our building from the real estate community,” Torres said. “Merrick Manor has an unparalleled location and commercial space that perfectly complements the building’s 227 residences.”
