Wynwood Annex Sells For $49 Million To New-To-Miami-Market San Francisco-Based Buyer — PROFILE Miami

Related Group and East End Capital have sold Wynwood Annex for $49 million to a new-to-market San Francisco-based buyer Brick & Timber Collective. The transaction was overseen by DWTNWN Realty Advisors Co-Founders Devlin Marinoff and Tony Arellano P.A., who represented both the buyer and the seller. The milestone transaction underscores a paradigm shift in rates and market fundamentals and sets a new bar for the Miami office market and represents the culmination of many years of organic, artistic and eclectic development efforts in Wynwood led by many shareholders with vision and grit inspired by visionaries like Tony Goldman.

Related Group and East End Capital developed Wynwood Annex and retailed DWNTWN Realty Advisors to lead the marketing and lease-up efforts, stabilizing over 60,000 square feet of rentable office area within six months to 100% occupancy, with landmark tenants all new-to-market.

Following the successful lease-up effort Wynwood Annex attracted unsolicited offers from investors from all over the country. DWNTWN ran an off-market process and connected with a new-to-market buyer, Brick & Timber Collective, who closed the approximately $49 million sale.

“Typically, we see relocations from within the city as the majority of tenants play musical chairs,” Lerner said. “In this cycle our firm took advantage of changing fundamentals and with our feet on the ground, led the charge outpacing competitive office towers in Miami, pushing Wynwood as the go-to creative office district.”

“We are honored and grateful to be a participant in Wynwood over the past 16 years. We are excited to see Wynwood become the go-to neighborhood for technology and modern finance,” Arellano said. “Wynwood Annex is the perfect fit for this San Francisco-based buyer’s debut investment in our market. DWNTWN is grateful to investors like Brick & Timber Collective for adding value to our market, community and the Greater DWNTWN Miami Area.”

Wynwood has been a hot market recently as more than 400 businesses have moved into the neighborhood in including Blockchain.com, OpenStore, WeWork, Founders Fund, Spotify, Live Nation, Atomic VC, GAC Financial, Ramp Financial, Schonfeld and others.
