RedSky Capital and JZ Capital Partners sold the former Miami Rescue Mission site for $17.6 million, as the joint venture continues to offload its Wynwood portfolio at a discount.

New York-based Fisher Brothers purchased the buildings, property records show.

RS JZ NW1 2200 sold the parcels at 2201, 2229 and 2159 Northwest First Court, and 2200 and 2250 Northwest First Avenue. The warehouses total 43,440 square feet across 1.5 acres.

Fisher Brothers, a family owned and run real estate developer and investor, was founded in 1915 by Martin Fisher, who later was joined by his brothers, Larry and Zachary Fisher, according to the company’s website. The firm now is led by Arnold, Kenneth, Steven and Winston Fisher.

Its portfolio includes the three-building Station House office complex in Washington, D.C., and Chartwell House condominium project in Manhattan.
