FORT PIERCE, FL (April 30, 2026) – Lee & Associates South Florida Principal, Sebastian Misiewicz, and Vice President, Matthew Lago, successfully represented the seller, Synergy School of Tomorrow Inc., and procured the buyer, South Tech Charter Academy Inc., in the $17,000,000 sale of a fully built-out K-12 educational campus located at 2810 S US Highway 1 in Fort Pierce, Florida. The transaction closed on April 30, 2026, setting a new pricing benchmark for educational facilities on the Treasure Coast at approximately $229 per square foot.

The 74,226-square-foot, single-story campus situated on 4.33 acres is fully built out as a K-12 educational facility featuring specialized training classrooms, a commercial kitchen, a recording studio, and a full gymnasium, positioning it as a rare turnkey opportunity in a market with severely limited supply of large-scale, fully entitled school properties. South Tech Charter Academy will occupy the facility as its new permanent home.

Strategically located along US Highway 1 with over 30,000 vehicles per day and strong regional connectivity to I-95 and Florida's Turnpike, the property delivers both immediate operational capability and long-term value in one of Florida's fastest-growing corridors.

This transaction marks the team's second charter school closing in 2026, following their $7.6 million sale earlier this year, more than doubling deal size within the same sector in a single year and bringing their combined education deal volume to $24.6 million. The milestone cements Lee & Associates South Florida as the region's leading brokerage for education-focused commercial real estate.

“This transaction underscores the accelerating demand we're seeing for fully entitled, turnkey educational facilities across South Florida,” said Sebastian Misiewicz, Principal at Lee & Associates South Florida. “Securing zoning approvals for school use is becoming significantly more difficult and time-consuming. Operators who find a campus that is already permitted, built out, and ready for immediate occupancy are willing to pay a premium — and this sale reflects exactly that dynamic. At $229 per square foot, this sets a meaningful new benchmark for the Treasure Coast education real estate market.”

Matthew Lago, Vice President at Lee & Associates added, “South Tech Charter Academy had been seeking a large-scale, shovel-ready campus in this corridor for over a year. By matching them directly with Synergy School of Tomorrow, we were able to deliver a fully turnkey solution, eliminating the 18 to 24 months of permitting, design, and construction that would have been required for a ground-up alternative. That time-to-occupancy advantage is the real value driver in transactions like this, and it's why demand for built-out school properties continues to outpace supply.”

Building on this momentum, the team has also brought a new education property to market at 2751 Van Buren Street in Hollywood, Florida, a licensed K-5 private school campus on 19,788 SF of land with an 8,636 SF building, ideally situated near the I-95 and Hollywood Boulevard corridor. The property is available for sale and is expected to attract strong interest from charter and private school operators seeking immediate occupancy in South Florida's urban core.

“The education sector continues to be one of the most resilient and supply-constrained asset classes in commercial real estate,” said Sebastian Misiewicz. “Population growth across South Florida and the Treasure Coast is driving sustained demand for quality school facilities, and operators are competing aggressively for the limited number of purpose-built campuses that come to market. We expect this trend to accelerate through 2026 and beyond.”
