Harry Blyden and Bastian Laggerbauer of Colliers International Florida represented the seller.

The property is between Griffin Road and Stirling Road. In the past two years, the owners invested more than $1 million, including completing tenant improvements for more than 30,000 square feet of the office space, according to a release.

The office complex is 96 percent leased to 34 tenants, including Allstate Insurance, Chubb Insurance and Sherwin Williams.

Davie largely consists of residential properties, but the city has seen an uptick in commercial investment in recent years.

In August, Prive Group paid about $17 million for eight buildings within an office park in Davie. In June, Ceiba Groupe scored a $45.75 million construction loan for a mixed-use development in Davie known as Suede Downtown Davie.
