TAMPA, FL (October 4, 2024) – Lee & Associates South Florida Principal Greg Milopoulos and Senior Vice President Christian Baena worked with Lee & Associates Tampa Bay’s Julia Silva, SIOR and Erika Thompson, SIOR to successfully broker the sale of an industrial building in Tampa. The seller is a repeat client of Milopoulos and Baena.

The $2.3 million transaction was a testament to the brokers’ creativity and resourcefulness. The 8806 Venture Cove building was originally being marketed for lease, but Milopoulos was able to negotiate a desirable price for their client, Dram Margate, LLC, to instead sell the property to VC Properties, LLC.

Located within 301 Industrial Park, the 17,156-square-foot building features two drive-in doors, three truck-well doors for dock-high access, a 2,200-square-foot office, 18’ clear height and 10 parking spaces.

Milopoulos and Baena have brokered three additional sales for this client and are marketing properties in New Jersey and Massachusetts on its behalf.

“The efficiency and simplicity we are able to offer clients that hire our team to represent them in various markets across the U.S. truly shine through,” Milopoulos said. “Between my background in construction management and our ability to travel anywhere to put the right team in place, we substantially streamline the real estate transaction process. We encourage anyone seeking a single point of contact for all of their real estate needs to reach out.”

Milopoulos and Baena have more than 20 years of development, investment sales, landlord and tenant representation experience in South Florida. They joined Lee & Associates South Florida in 2023, with Milopoulos heading up the firm’s Broward County industrial activities out of its Deerfield Beach office, and Baena working out of its Miami office.

The duo has closed on just over 150,000 square feet of sales and leases this year. They collectively work together representing clients in dispositions and generating investment sales opportunities throughout the tri-county area.

“Greg and Christian continue to find creative ways to leverage their relationships and the Lee & Associates platform to generate successful outcomes for their clients,” Lee & Associates South Florida President Matthew Rotolante said. “We applaud them on what has already been a prolific dealmaking year and are excited to support their additional transactions over the rest of 2024 and beyond.”
