UPDATED, Sept. 14, 2:10 p.m.: Crocker Partners plans to sell a parking garage near the SunTrust International Center in downtown Miami to Tel Aviv-based Mishorim Development Group for $18.5 million, according to documents filed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Crocker Partners bought the 31-story SunTrust building and the seven-story garage for a combined $82.4 million in 2011, according to property records. In May, it sold the office tower at 1 Southeast Third Avenue to PCCP for $127 million after completing a $13.5 million renovation.

The nearly 247,000-square-foot, 756-space garage at 255 Northeast First Street sits on a 37,500-square-foot lot. The buildable square footage totals 1.35 million square feet.

Mishorim, run by Gil Blutrich and Alex Schneider, also owns the ground-floor retail condo at the nearby 37-story Centro at 151 Southeast First Street. Blutrich and local partner Shai Ben Ami of Sterling Equity bought the 4,350 property for $2.65 million in 2016.

The parking garage was marketed by Cushman and Wakefield, which declined to comment.

Mishorim and Crocker Partners were not immediately available for comment.
