FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vision Real Estate Advisors Facilitates Sale of 65,000+ SF Village Plaza in Fort Lauderdale MSA at Sub-5% Cap Rate
MARGATE, FL (September 29, 2026) – Vision Real Estate Advisors is proud to announce the successful closing of Village Plaza, a +/- 65,000 square foot retail center located at 1360–1454 N. State Road 7 in Margate, Florida. Representing both the seller and the buyer in the transaction, the firm orchestrated a highly competitive sales process that generated over 250 registered buyers and offers from more than 10 competitive groups, resulting in a sale at a sub-5% in-place cap rate.
“Despite the cost of debt, there remains an unprecedented volume of capital sitting on the sidelines aggressively hunting for well-located, high-quality retail assets in South Florida,” said Elon Gerberg, Managing Director at Vision Real Estate Advisors. “The significant interest and amount of offers we procured for Village Plaza proves that liquidity is exceptionally strong for retail properties with upside both in terms of rents and occupancy.”
“This transaction highlights our firm’s ability to unlock maximum value by leveraging targeted marketing and deep market relationships,” added Adam H. Klein, Managing Director at Vision Real Estate Advisors. “I’ve never met a seller who was unhappy with receiving 10 qualified offers from all-cash buyers and watching them compete to capture the flag.”
Ultimately, the property was awarded to local investment group, Current Capital Group, a prominent regional real estate firm with an extensive track record and existing commercial holdings in the immediate submarket. To secure the asset in a high-demand bidding environment, the buyer committed a substantial non-refundable deposit at execution. This was the first time the property was on the market for sale since the seller, Tricon Development, purchased the property over 30 years ago.
Village Plaza features a strong mix of national, regional, and neighborhood tenants, including anchor-level draw CSL Plasma and Domino’s Pizza. The asset benefits from prime visibility along the State Road 7 commercial corridor and sits directly adjacent to Cocogate Plaza, which is poised for a major mixed-use redevelopment featuring nearly 300 residential units and modern retail spaces. Additionally, the asset is located just one block from Brookfield Properties’ multi-acre Margate City Center master redevelopment project, positioning Village Plaza directly in the path of rapid growth and increased daily vehicular traffic.
