Florida Grand Opera is one of the oldest performing arts organizations in Florida. Florida Grand Opera was formed in June 1994 through the merger of Greater Miami Opera, which was founded in 1941, and The Opera Guild Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, which was founded in 1945.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Wayne Ramoski, Gian Rodriguez and Skyler Stein represented Florida Grand Opera in the sale. Pedro J. Garcia and Rudford Hamon of Binswanger-Gateway Partnership represented the buyer.
