Preferred Freezer Services Inc.'s parent company, Florida Freezers Group Inc., sold the building for close to $4.1 million, or approximately $17.82 per sf. The property is located at 2950 N.W. 75th St.

The buyer had been operating out of a temporary location after its facility was destroyed by a tornado. The move will double its space.

"They service quite a number of accounts, and several accounts have been growing steadily," says Rafael Villamizar, a senior associate with Grubb & Ellis who was involved in the transaction. Villamizar, along with Eric Person of Grubb & Ellis, represented Dependable Warehousing and Distribution Services.

The company found a temporary home just six days after a recent tornado destroyed its 100,000-sf headquarters facility in east Hialeah. The company signed an approximately one-year lease for a 103,500-sf, single-tenant building at 3505 N.W. 107th St. in the approximately 95% occupied Gratigny Distribution Center here.

Preferred Freezer Services Inc. is building a new, 200,000-sf freezer facility in Medley at an estimated construction cost of $13 million. Codina Construction Corp. of Coral Gables is scheduled to complete this facility by the end of the year, when Preferred Freezer is planning to move out of the building Dependable Warehousing and Distribution Services purchased.

Dependable Warehousing and Distribution Services expects to move into that building, which is about 30 years old, by the beginning of next year. The third-party warehousing firm's clients include companies in the paper, textiles and dye industries.
