Sunshine MZL is the buyer of the 4017-4299 West Commercial Boulevard property. The company is linked to New York-based Katz Properties. It assumed an existing loan from ING Life Insurance & Annuity Co. as part of the transaction.

In the past month, companies managed by Valero acquired Publix-anchored shopping centers in Broward and Palm Beach counties from Equity One for a combined $23.4 million. Before launching Global Fund, Valero served as Equity’s president and chief operating officer during a 12-year stint with the real estate investment trust that ended in December 2006. — Eric Kalis
