Ownership and recorded sale history
What has actually traded in Upper Biscayne / NE 79th
Recorded transactions for retail properties in the upper Biscayne Boulevard and NE 79th Street corridor, narrowed to the buildings closest to this one in size and age.
Reading this against the corridor
The county assesses this building at $145/SF. Recorded sales of retail properties in Upper Biscayne / NE 79th since 2021 have a median of $452/SF, across a range of $358/SF to $797/SF.
Across those 8 recorded sales, the median sale price came in at 1.23× the county assessed value. Assessed values are set for taxation and are reset on their own schedule, so they routinely sit apart from transaction prices — in either direction.
At 15,188 SF this building is materially larger than the 6,978 SF median for retail properties trading in this corridor, which narrows the pool of directly comparable transactions.
Built in 1930, it is older than the 1942 median vintage of what has been trading nearby — typically a repositioning, capital-expenditure or redevelopment conversation rather than a straight comparison.
By footprint it sits in roughly the 90th percentile of retail properties that have traded in this corridor — 2 of the 20 recorded sales were of larger buildings.
The assessment works out 68% below the median price per square foot of the comparable sales shown below. That is an arithmetic comparison of a tax figure against transaction prices, not a statement about what this building would sell for.
What this means for this building depends on what no public record contains — the leases, the condition, the rent roll.
