Broward Havana LLC, owned by Atlanta candy magnate Bruce Weiner, sold the five-story project at 641 NW 12th Ave. to Madison, NJ-based Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership, according to The Real Deal.
The 101,000-square-foot storage facility, which operates under the Storage Post brand, was built recently by Brickell Group Construction and designed by Blitstein Design Associates.

“This top-shelf asset will be another prime property as we continue to grow the Storage Post portfolio in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market,” said Dylan Delaune, chief operating officer at Storage Post.
