Daniel Burkhardt of NAI Hallmark represented the buyer, 10375 Centurion LLC. \u00a0State records show the LLC is managed by Tiger Taygun Tari and Tolga Tari.<\/p>\n

Tiger Tari earned a bachelor\u2019s in international business and marketing from Jacksonville University in 2000, according to his LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n

Tari raced in the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge in January, finishing 20th in The Roar Before the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway.<\/p>\n

According to a 2025 Jacksonville University story about Tari, the native of Istanbul, Turkey, founded two restaurants and started a software business and venture capital firm, Tari Ventures, with his brother, Tolga.<\/p>\n

The JU story said Tari introduced Papa John\u2019s to Turkey as the master franchisee, with 68 restaurants.<\/p>\n

Cushman & Wakefield said the building is 94% leased to tenants, including APR Energy, Mattamy Homes and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cCenturion Centre I is poised for significant future rent growth with its position within Jacksonville\u2019s strongest performing suburban office micro-market, Deerwood Park, and its high barriers to entry,\u201d Johnston said in a release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis quality suburban office building and central location of choice should perform well into the future for the new owner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built in 2006, Centurion Centre I is a four-story, 93,288-square-foot office building on 5.55 acres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition presented a rare opportunity to acquire a well occupied, institutional-quality asset with a strong operating history,\u201d Burkhardt said in the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy client looks forward to implementing a thoughtful ownership approach focused on tenant retention and long-term value creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deed had not been recorded with the Duval County Clerk of Court as of 6 p.m. Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

Property records show FCA Partners bought the building in 2006 for $13.38 million.<\/p>\n
