Financial group buys offices at big discount

Financial solutions firm Bankers Health Group purchased three office buildings in Davie for $3.5 million — 46 percent off their foreclosed mortgage, the South Florida Business Journal reported.

The 39,298-square-foot space at Diamond III Office Park in the Broward County town has been vacant since the buildings were finished in 2008. EverBank seized the buildings last year after foreclosing on a $6.5 million mortgage originated by the now-defunct Bank of Florida — Southeast, the publication said.

Bankers Health Group — which provides financial services to health care professionals — would lease out or sell some of the building space, Peter Messina of Brenner Real Estate Group told the Business Journal.

The company’s staff of 40 will move into the address at 10230 West State Road 84, the report said.
