BUYER: Chenet Lane LLC (principal: Vince Payne), Bradenton
SELLER: TMA Groupe LLC

LAW FIRM ON DEED: Lutz Bobo & Telfair PA, Sarasota

PLANS, DESCRIPTION: Beth Kompothecras, owner of So Staged Events & Rentals, purchased a 15,000-square-foot industrial building for $735,000.

The price equated to $49 per square foot. That figure is near the two-year average price per square foot for industrial space ($46) in the Tampa Bay area, according to the CoStar Group.

The vacant building features a designer showroom, 10,000 square feet of air-conditioned space and more than an acre of parking.

Kompothecras plans to relocate her business and its wedding/event staging equipment over to the building from its roughly 2,500-square-foot current location. She plans to break up the showroom space into smaller sections to display the various staging options.

“We've outgrown where we are now,” Kompothecras says. “We need a lot of storage. We'll probably start moving in the next couple weeks.”

Erick Shumway of Re/Max Alliance Group represented the seller and Barbara Williams of Keller Williams on the Water represented the buyer.
