Merrick Manor in Coral Gables has announced the sale of a ground-floor retail condominium to Talent Hub Agency, where the firm will open their new Miami headquarters following the acquisition. Merrick Manor is a mixed residential and commercial luxury condo building developed by the Henry Torres-led Astor Companies. The condominium offers nearly 20,000 square feet of prime retail space on the ground floor neighboring the Shops at Merrick Park. Manny Chamizo III, the Global Commercial Director of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, arranged the sale of this Class A retail space to Talent Hub.
“With interest rates low, prospective commercial tenants are realizing they can buy their own spaces at prices on par with market rents and take advantage of appreciation while building equity,” Chamizo said. “Talent Hub’s purchase at Merrick Manor underscores how this building offers an unparalleled opportunity to buy Class A commercial product within a brand-new luxury mixed-use building just steps away from the world-class Shops at Merrick Park.”
Talent Hub is co-owned by Puerto Rican actor, singer and songwriting Carlos Ponce. The agency represents many A-list influencers and celebrities which will add even more character to the already existing and diverse mix of retailers and businesses at Merrick Manor. Existing businesses include Anaïs Nails & Spa, Body Details, Elegance Beauty Salon, Sweat 440, Trésor and a substation for the Coral Gables Police Department. Coral Gables business district is the perfect location for many businesses as it is easy to commute from Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport. This central location is even walkable to Miracle Mile.
“Merrick Manor is an ideal location for Talent Hub’s Miami headquarters,” Ponce said. “The quality of the building is impeccable. We look forward to helping our talented members realize their vast potential in our new home.”
