An affiliate of Hammes, a health care-focused real estate investment firm based in Milwaukee, acquired Central Medical Plaza at 9750 Northwest 33rd Street, records and Vizzda show. The deal breaks down to $291 per square foot.
The seller, Gary Kaplan in Boca Raton, paid $4.7 million for the building in 1991.
Sitting on 3.7 acres, the two-story building spanning 52,748 square feet was completed in 1987, records and Vizzda show.
