Associates Belus Brutus & Ryan Sullivan Arrange Sale of 3,500 S.F.
Woodbridge, N.J., August 31, 2026 — The Kislak Company of Florida, Inc. announced the recent sale of a 3,484-square-foot master retail leasehold interest at 9517-9523 Harding Avenue in Surfside, Miami-Dade County, Florida for $1,500,000.
Kislak marketed the leasehold interest on an exclusive basis with associates Belus Brutus and Ryan Sullivan handling the assignment on behalf of the seller, Harding Avenue Rentals, LLC, and they also procured the purchaser, which was not disclosed.
Mr. Brutus commented, “It was a privilege to represent both the seller and buyer in this transaction. The buyer is a sophisticated leasehold investor who understood the asset and moved decisively. That kind of clarity and conviction is what gets deals done.”
The offering consisted of the master leasehold interest in a fully occupied retail building with 3,484 square feet. The investment includes control of the property through the remaining 24-years of a 99-year ground lease, providing the purchaser with long-term operational control and income. The property is occupied by four retail tenants with existing leases through 2027 and 2028, offering stable in-place cash flow and the opportunity to increase below-market rents over time.
Located just south of the Bal Harbour Shops along Harding Avenue, Surfside’s premier retail corridor two blocks west of the Atlantic Ocean, the property benefits from exceptional visibility, strong pedestrian traffic and a surrounding mix of affluent residential neighborhoods, hotels and neighborhood-serving retailers. The location continues to attract investors seeking well-positioned retail assets in one of South Florida’s most desirable beachfront communities.
The transaction was completed on an all-cash basis. The leasehold structure presented a unique investment opportunity, combining long-term control of a stabilized retail asset with meaningful upside potential through future rent growth and operational efficiencies.
