Computed across the 8 sales listed below — the closest matches to this building by size and vintage. Transfers under $100,000, multi-parcel portfolio deals that cannot be allocated, and land-dominant parcels are excluded.

Reading this against the corridor

The county assesses this building at $575/SF. Recorded sales of office properties in Downtown / Las Olas since 2021 have a median of $640/SF, across a range of $431/SF to $2,662/SF.

Across those 8 recorded sales, the median sale price came in at 1.77× 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.

Built in 1939, it is older than the 1957 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 15th percentile of office properties that have traded in this corridor — 11 of the 13 recorded sales were of larger buildings.

The assessment works out 10% 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.
