In July, the company bought a 59,135-square-foot-warehouse in northwest Miami-Dade for $7.23 million or about $120 per square foot. Elion Partners also paid $9 million for the Weston Business Plaza at 11800-1880 North Commerce Parkway in March.

South Florida’s industrial market has remained one of its best performing asset classes due to a scarcity of available land and increased interest from institutional investors. In Miami-Dade County, industrial vacancy rates fell to 3.8 percent in the third quarter of 2018 from 4 percent on a year-over-year basis. Amid an influx of new industrial space, asking rental rates declined to $9.95 per square foot, a 3.8 percent decrease from the same period of last year, according to a Colliers International South Florida third quarter report.
