“In real estate, there are few investment opportunities as desirable as properties that are leased on a triple net basis by creditworthy tenants such as CVS,” Herrick chairman Norton Herrick said in a written statement. “As we actively seek out additional investment opportunities that fit our requirements, we’re intently focused on acquiring this type of stable, low-management-intensive property in the retail, industrial and office sectors.”

An eclectic firm that has invested in real estate for nearly 55 years, Herrick’s portfolio includes movies such as “Lone Survivor,” racehorses, green energy projects and fine art. [South Florida Business Journal]Eric Kalis
