Entrepreneur Ran Federman purchased 612 square meters of commercial
space in the ground floor of Tel Aviv's London Ministore. Federman paid
the owners, a foreign company controlled by England's Coleman family,
some 4 million dollars, 5,000 dollars per square meter.
The space is leased out to two stores in long range contracts:
Superpharm leased 500 square meters, and Tzlil company leased out the
remaining space. Leasing fees yield Federman a 10% return on the
investment, meaning a monthly average of 55 dollars per square
meter.
Federman controls Diran, the furniture company, which owns 1,800 square
meters in London Ministore. He purchased the additional space as a
yield deal. Federman is also prepared to buy small shops located in the
commercial center. The building's office and commercial space totals
17,000 square meters, not including the residential tower above it.
In another deal Diran purchased a 2,700 square meter building in Be'er
Ya'akov, for 1.7 million dollars (630 dollars per square meter). Diran
turned the building into its central warehouse, and intends to open a
400 square meter furniture surpluses store at the place.
