Ibis awards leasing job to Ian Black

Michigan-based Ibis Group has awarded leasing for a half-dozen office and flex buildings in Sarasota County to Ian Black Real Estate.

The Sarasota commercial real estate brokerage firm will be in charge of leasing the Cattleridge Business Center; Sarasota Commerce Center, Live Oak Commerce Center; Live Oak Corporate Center I and II; and the Live Oak Office Center.

Each of the properties, which total 260,000 square feet, had been part of a portfolio controlled by Osprey S.A. Ltd. and affiliates before the companies began disposing of them three years ago amid partnership squabbles.
