EML Realty Partners, based in Jupiter, FL, today announced the acquisition of two properties in partnership with Greenspring Realty Partners, a real estate investment, development, brokerage, and management company based in Baltimore, MD. 

The first property at 209-211 S. Alexander St. in Plant City, FL, was purchased for $4.6 million. The property consists of two buildings totaling 60,491 square feet, and is fully leased to national credit-tenant, 84 Lumber. The second acquired property, an industrial facility located at 5582 Commercial Blvd. in Winter Haven, FL, was purchased for $2,850,000. It consists of one building on two parcels totaling 31,389 square feet, and is fully leased to a local Freight Logistics Firm, serving central Florida building suppliers and Amazon. 

Eric Levitt, founder of EML Realty Partners, Dan Flamholtz and David Berg, Principals of Greenspring Realty Partners, worked together as partners in Maryland before Eric moved full-time to Florida in 2016. 

“Dan Flamholtz and David Berg of Greenspring Realty Partners were my trusted partners for many years in Maryland before I moved my company full time to Florida and it is exciting to get to work with them again. These two purchases fit our model of below replacement cost purchase price, below market rents, functional warehouses, and long-term value-add through organic rent growth in areas of high distribution demand," said Eric M. Levitt, founder of EML Realty Partners. “These acquisitions are the first deals we’ve done together in Florida and I am looking forward to continuing this partnership due to the vast experience we share and our combined capital for value-add industrial deals all over the state of Florida.” 

EML Realty Partners also announced the acquisition of Cape Canaveral Industrial Campus, made up of three buildings totaling over 37,000 square feet. The property, located at 250-270 W Central Ave, was purchased for $4,125,000, and is occupied by Patrick Industries owned-brand Sea-Dek/Castaway Customs. Prior to Patrick Industries leasing the property, it was leased to Boeing Corporation for many years. 

“This property offers significant upside as the Cape Canaveral port and space coast areas continue to develop around this property. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are investing billions in the area and there is very limited supply of industrial properties around the port, " said Eric M. Levitt, founder of EML Realty Partners. “This industrial complex is very functional and can serve many different types of businesses, and it fits well with all the other EML properties in the Melbourne and Palm Bay areas serving the space coast industry.”

EML Realty Partners specializes in the acquisition of opportunistic commercial real estate investments, specializing in value-add industrial all over the state of Florida. Prior to moving to Florida, EML Realty Partners was a very active and well-respected real estate firm in the Mid-Atlantic region.
