A multi-story, mixed-use property that will include a CubeSmart-branded self-storage facility, a restaurant and retail is planned as part of the Ravaudage Complex in Winter Park, Fla. An unidentified buyer acquired the 1.48-acre property from Sydgan Corp. for $3.55 million with the intent to build 97,000 square feet of space. The restaurant and retail components will be on the ground floor, and construction is expected to begin immediately, according to a press release from the Argus Self Storage Sales Network (ASSSN), a national network of real estate brokers, which helped broker the deal.
The 73-acre Ravaudage Complex is expected to include hotel, medical, multi-family, office and retail uses, and “could be the largest urban-infill project proposed along Florida’s new commuter-rail system,” the release stated.
Sydgan was represented in the deal by Josh Koerner, associate, and Frost Weaver, chair, of Weaver Realty Group LLC, a Jacksonville, Fla.-based brokerage and property-management firm. Both are Florida affiliates for ASSSN.
