Jaime Sturgis and Elizabeth Metott<\/p>\n
Native Realty<\/a>\u00a0(Native), the Fort Lauderdale-based commercial real estate firm led by Jaime Sturgis, brokered a 7,904-square-foot lease at The Adderley, the mixed-use residential development at 501 NW Seventh Ave. in Fort Lauderdale\u2019s Sistrunk neighborhood. The tenant is Sola Salon Studios (Sola), the country\u2019s largest salon suite franchise, with more than 740 locations across the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n Native Senior Broker Associate Liz Metott represented The Adderley\u2019s developer, Altis Cardinal, in the transaction.<\/p>\n The Adderley is a recently delivered, amenity-rich residential community offering studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments with workforce housing options. The development\u2019s amenities include a fitness center, resort-style pool, on-site bowling alley, coworking spaces, and ground-floor retail, all situated in the heart of Sistrunk, one of Fort Lauderdale\u2019s most dynamic and rapidly evolving urban neighborhoods.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t Founded in 2004 in Denver, Colorado, Sola has grown into the dominant force in the salon suite industry, empowering more than 22,000 beauty entrepreneurs nationwide. Sola provides independent beauty professionals, including hair stylists, estheticians, nail technicians, barbers, and massage therapists, with fully equipped, private salon suites. Rather than working in traditional commission-based salons, Sola\u2019s professionals operate their own independent businesses within beautifully designed studio spaces.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Adderley offers residents and the surrounding community an elevated everyday experience, and Sola Salon Studios deepens that,\u201d Metott said. \u201cBringing in a national franchise of this caliber, one that is specifically built to support independent entrepreneurs, adds energy and vitality to the ground floor that truly complements what Altis Cardinal has created here. It is the right tenant in the right location at exactly the right moment for Sistrunk.\u201d<\/p>\n The lease continues Native\u2019s long-term and impactful presence in the Sistrunk neighborhood. The firm spent years curating major mixed-use developments and brokering significant investment sales transactions in the corridor, partnering with best-in-class developers including Affiliated Development and Fuse Group. Through those relationships, Native plays a central role shaping the commercial fabric of a neighborhood that has seen remarkable growth and investment in recent years.<\/p>\n \u201cThis transaction reflects everything we believe about Sistrunk and what this neighborhood is becoming,\u201d Native CEO Jaime Sturgis said. \u201cLiz did a tremendous job identifying a tenant that will add genuine, lasting value to the project and to the community. We are proud to continue driving this neighborhood\u2019s evolution alongside developers who share our vision for what great urban development looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n Shanna Naim of Skyview Real Estate Partners represented the tenant in the transaction.<\/p>\n The latest transaction builds on a banner year for Native. In 2025, the firm generated approximately $350 million in transaction volume and surpassed $1 billion in overall closed volume since its inception.<\/p>\n Based on its current pipeline and market activity, Native is projected to reach $1 billion in annual transaction volume within the next two years.<\/p>\n Native operates from a Fort Lauderdale office that is double the size of its previous headquarters. The 4,000-square-foot office is located at 1926 E. Sunrise Blvd. in the city\u2019s Victoria Park neighborhood.<\/p>\n About Native Realty:\u00a0Founded in 2017 by pioneering Fort Lauderdale-based commercial real estate broker Jaime Sturgis, Native Realty is disrupting the real estate industry and redefining what it means to be a broker.
