Commercial Real Estate

Earl Pertnoy and Irvin Shapiro had a theory: “Find a candy store, and then invest in real estate.” They meant, find a way to pay day-to-day expenses, and invest the surplus in real estate to provide for retirement and an income stream for generations. Baron’s was their candy store; ours has been homebuilding—and we invested our profits in commercial real estate ventures.

Ron and Steven at Boca Commerce Park in Boca Raton

We launched this part of our enterprise in 1982, approaching Gould Florida about constructing Wellington’s first two warehouse buildings on a 35-acre site designated for industrial use in a far corner of town.

The investment required was beyond our capacity. So…
They agreed, but the investment required was beyond our capacity. So, for the first time, we asked our fathers to invest with us. With the real estate mantra “location, location, location” uppermost in their minds, Earl and Irvin looked at the two dirt roads and pepper fields (where the average traffic count was a veggie truck and maybe two horses a day), laughed, and raced away. Thank goodness we found a partner from Miami who agreed with our assessment: with 10,000 homes coming to a community, there would be a need for industrial space. So he invested—a good move for all of us.

The first two buildings of what became known as Wellington Commerce Park comprised 30,000 square feet, including 8,000 feet of air-conditioned mini-storage. We moved our office there and leased the remaining space. Then we bought the adjacent site from Gould, developed another building there, and filled it up. That cycle went on for years. Eventually we owned, leased, and managed a 260,000-square-foot light industrial complex.

That cycle went on for years.

Boca Commerce Park in Boca Raton was our next industrial venture, in 1984, followed a few years later by Commerce Place in West Palm Beach in 1999 and, in 2003, Chancellor Corporate Center and The Shoppes at Chancellor in Wellington. Altogether, we have completed over 60 commercial buildings and constructed hundreds of tenants’ improvements.

Chancellor Corporate Center in Wellington

Though we sold our buildings in Wellington Commerce Park and Boca Commerce Park several years ago, we still own and manage three office buildings called Commerce Place in West Palm Beach, two office towers called Chancellor Corporate Center in Wellington, and a retail center in Wellington called The Shoppes at Chancellor.

We also offer third-party leasing services (where the properties are owned by others), tenant representation (helping tenants find premises), and landlord representation (leasing entire projects) through Chancellor Property Group, our commercial real estate brokerage company.

We offer third-party leasing services, tenant representation, and landlord representation.
Our commercial entities operate according to the same core values as our residential construction group: an uncompromising focus on quality, creating long-term relationships, providing excellent service, and keeping tenants happy.
Owner-Managed Properties with No Middleman
We own, lease, and manage all our buildings. In a more common arrangement, a commercial property owner (often not local) hires a local broker to lease and manage the owner’s property. But a broker must take the information garnered from the prospect back to the owner (sometimes a board), so negotiations and decisions can be very slow. As owners, by contrast, we meet directly with prospects and make decisions immediately. With no middleman between our tenants and us, we have the agility to streamline the process and be instantly responsive. (We do also work with outside brokers who occasionally bring us prospects.) This approach has been a real boon to our business—and to our commercial tenants. We enjoy observing the transformation of tenants who realize they no longer have to yell and threaten to get something done as they quickly become aware of our prompt responsiveness and get-it-done attitude.
