PLANS, DESCRIPTION: New York City's Blackstone Management Properties LLC purchased the two-building Insignia Center development for $1.58 million.

The price equated to $195 per square foot.

The property includes a 2,025-square-foot Dunkin' Donuts and a 5,354-square-foot strip center. Both buildings were built in 2005. The buildings were fully leased, with the larger building housing Mathworks, Nail Colors and Gulf Coast Martial Arts.

Andrew Saluan of AJS Realty Group Inc. represented the seller. His firm will continue to handle leasing and property management.

“It's a nice market-rate stabilized deal,” he says. “The location is excellent on Immokalee [Road] across from Gulf Coast High School. There's a Publix on Immokalee and a Target nearby.”

The sale price equated to a payoff ratio based on current income (capitalization rate) of about 8%.
