The 75,295-square-foot office building and adjacent lot last sold for $6.8 million in 2012, Miami-Dade property records show. A mortgage was not recorded for the site, located at 1400 79th Street Causeway.

Last year, Sunbeam withdrew a foreclosure lawsuit it had filed against a nearby property’s owners. The dispute was over a $4.8 million mortgage, after plans for a nightclub became plans for a condo project designed by Kobi Karp. Both sites neighbor WSVN Channel 7’s studios.
