Polk properties prove to be investment worthy

A pair of recently completed, high-profile investment transactions in Winter Haven and Polk City illustrate that Polk County continues to be a viable market for buyers ­— especially of industrial product with credit-worthy tenants.

The larger of the two sales involved a new Best Buy Co. Inc. distribution and service center completed in May. The 650,808-square-foot building, at 8906 Highway 33 North, in Polk City, was sold for $40.63 million to an affiliate of Phoenix-based Tratt Properties.
