FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SLOANE SQUARE BARBERS & SHOPPE INKS 1,211 SF LEASE TO ADD A SECOND LOCATION TO THEIR GROWING SOUTH FLORIDA RETAIL PORTFOLIO
CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA - April 18, 2011 - The Company Real Estate is announcing that Sloane Square Barbers & Shoppe (www.sloanesq.com) has just signed a lease for a 1,211 SF retail location in the heart of downtown Coral Gables. Their new location (2518 Ponce de Leon BLVD) will be their second retail location in addition to their South Beach headquarters. The Coral Gables location will become their flagship store providing high end barber services to a very discerning clientele in the surrounding area. The landlord and tenant were both represented by Cyril Bijaoui of The Company Real Estate. Sloane Square Barbers & Shoppe is the third to lease in this building joining Luminaire (www.luminarie.com) and Naked Pizza (www.nakedpizza.biz) that executed their leases earlier this year and late last year, respectively. The building now has only one space of 1,552 SF remaining available for lease which is the anchor space with the best signage opportunity for a prospective retailer. Ownership is seeking a national brand to occupy the last space in this very exclusive little building that is now nearly fully occupied.
The building was acquired by a Spain based private equity group also represented by The Company Real Estate back in May 2008 with the intention to gut and fully renovate the asset. The building is a total of 6,096 SF on a 7,875 SF lot situated right off of Miracle Mile (1.5 blocks/400 feet from Ponce De Leon Blvd / Miracle Mile Intersection) with 75 lineal feet of storefront. Property is fully renovated with a new facade, storefront, exteriors, parking, roof, ADA compliant bathrooms, plumbing, mechanical & electrical conduits and more. This is an ideal location situated in the heart of Coral Gables amongst famous eateries, many banks and the core suburban business district of Miami's wealthiest demographic: 3 mile radius population exceeds 227,025 / Average household income exceeds $128,288.
“Leasing this location has been much more difficult than initially anticipated when we were buying this property prior to the real estate market fallout back in early 2008. Hard work and dedication to create value and return for our investors in this asset are what drove us to get this asset to perform, and finally our day is starting to come. We are now well occupied and only have 2 spaces left to lease. We will not rest until we are a solid 100% occupied with an impressive rent roll of credible companies such as those we have signed to date” states Cyril Bijaoui, President of The Company Real Estate, a commercial and residential real estate brokerage firm headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida that services domestic and international individuals, private equity groups, institutional investors and asset managers.
