Integra Investments acquired Safe Harbor Rybovich, a 15-acre marina in West Palm Beach, from the Huizenga family for $72.4 million. The property sits at 4200 North Flagler Drive along the Intracoastal Waterway between 38th and 44th streets.
The sale marks a strategic shift for the Huizenga Holdings portfolio. Last year, the family's company filed development plans for a 2.6 million-square-foot project on the site, suggesting the family may have pivoted away from redevelopment plans in favor of a liquidity event.
Safe Harbor Rybovich operates as a full-service marine facility, a competitive niche in South Florida's waterfront market.
