Native Realty Hired to Market Downtown Fort Lauderdale Property with Significant Development Potential

Firm’s Jaime Sturgis is listing the Federal Highway site for $12.5 million

Native Realty, the pioneering Fort Lauderdale-based commercial real estate firm, is marketing one of the last development sites on downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Federal Highway corridor for $12.5 million. Firm Founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis is listing the 150 N. Federal Hwy. property.

The 0.78-acre site is walking distance to many of the city’s most popular bars and restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard and in Flagler Village. It is just down the street from Virgin Trains USA’s Fort Lauderdale station.

Existing zoning potentially allows for hotel with up to 212 rooms, residential with up to 109 units or a 12-story mixed-use development.

“You could not ask for a more well-positioned development site at the gateway to downtown Fort Lauderdale,” Sturgis said. “We anticipate substantial interest in this offering given the scarcity of such properties in the city’s urban core.”

Sturgis and Native’s Dan Ross are also exclusively marketing one of the last available land assemblages in Flagler Village. The 600, 614 and 618 NE Third Ave. and 313 NE Sixth St. assemblage is priced at $7.7 million and has zoning that allows for a wide variety of development up to 150 feet.

Last month, Sturgis closed the $2.4 million sale of the 1.21-acre site of the Fourth Avenue Church of God in the city’s emerging 13th Street neighborhood. He represented the buyer, Eduardo Pelaez’s Wellmeaning Investments, in the transaction. Pelaez’s company plans a substantial adaptive re-use project with a food hall and additional retail and entertainment uses.

Native Realty is headquartered at 719 NE Second Ave. in Flagler Village.
