MAITLAND, Fla. --- Three top executives at NAI Realvest in Maitland were honored at the NAI Global convention in Las Vegas recently for negotiating the “Deal of the Year” in 2007.
George Livingston, chairman of NAI Realvest, associate Drew Saphos, and Christie Alexander, a principal of the firm, won the Deal of the Year Award for negotiating a lease agreement for 393,580 square feet of industrial/regional distribution space in Sarasota. The Deal of the Year Award included Mike Chambers, Senior Vice President of NAI Brannen Goddard in Atlanta.
The award is based on a combination of factors, including size of the transaction, its strategic importance and the brokers’ performance in satisfying the client’s objectives.
Livingston, Alexander, Saphos and Chambers were recognized for their collaborative work representing United Natural Foods, Inc., the Dayville, Conn. wholesale distributor of natural and organic foods that recently expanded in Florida. The distribution facility is the company’s largest facility on the East Coast. Meridian Development Group is the landlord.
“Central Florida is fast becoming a principal distribution hub for Florida,” said Livingston. “The United Natural Foods lease is one more example of major national distributors expanding into Florida in response to growing demand to service 17 million Floridians.”
