Global Partners pays $28M for Dania Beach fuel depot
Waltham, Massachusetts-based firm acquired five-building industrial complex
A national gas station owner and petroleum distributor made a high-octane real estate purchase in Dania Beach.
An affiliate of Waltham, Massachusetts-based Global Partners paid $27.9 million for Motiva Enterprises South Terminal at 1200 Southeast 28th Street, records and Vizzda show. Near Port Everglades, the 51.5-acre property includes five industrial buildings and 12 fuel containers completed between 1955 and 1961.
The seller, Motiva Enterprises, acquired the fuel site for $6.9 million in 1998, records show. In November, Motiva entered into an agreement to sell 25 fuel terminals on the Atlantic Coast, the Southeast U.S. and in Texas to Global Partners, a press release states. Global Partners paid a combined $305.8 million for the petroleum properties, which have capacity to produce 8.4 million barrels of fuel annually.
Motiva also agreed to remain as the anchor tenant at the 25 facilities for 25 years, the release states.
Led by CEO Eric Slifka, Global Partners is a petroleum storage, distribution and retail company founded in 1933, the release states. The firm also owns and operates 1,700 gas station convenience stores, primarily in the Northeast.
