| RK San Souci |
RK Sage Plaza is located on the very
busy Hallandale Beach Blvd., the main east/west corridor in the trade area, and
it is anchored by Sage Bagel & Deli, which has been a landmark in the
community for almost 40 years. The shopping center’s position within the market
makes it an extremely attractive opportunity for retailers. The center’s
proximity to RK Diplomat Shopping Center, RK Publix Plaza, and The Village at
Gulfstream Park puts Sage Plaza at the epicenter of the retail market.
RK Sans Souci Plaza is located on NE
123rd Street, east of Biscayne Blvd. and west of Collins Avenue. NE
123rd Street serves as the main causeway leading into Bal Harbour.
The center is positioned approximately one mile east of RK Causeway Plaza, LA
Fitness, and a new Whole Foods, which is expected to open 2013.
After acquiring the property, RK
Centers invested significantly in capital and tenant improvements including:
- -
Façade renovation
- -
Interior renovations to vacant
spaces
- -
Exterior painting
- -
New landscaping
- -
Exterior lighting
- -

“RK Sage Plaza and RK Sans Souci
Plaza are wonderful additions to the RK Centers’ portfolio” said Raanan Katz,
founder and President of RK Centers. “These two properties, strategically
located near existing RK assets, have superior visibility, access, and tenant
mix. The improvements we have made, and will continue to make, will only
enhance the shopping center and improve the operating performance of our
retailers.”

Raanan Katz first arrived in the
United States in his early twenties with a reputation as an excellent outside
shooter on the Israeli National Basketball Team. After settling in Boston,
Raanan purchased a small apartment building with the money he earned playing
professional basketball. During the next several years, he amassed over 2,000
apartment units in the Greater Boston area. In 1980, Raanan began the switch
from residential to commercial real estate, when he acquired three retail
properties in the Greater Boston area and subsequently purchased a block of
stores on Miami Beach.
Currently, Raanan Katz, through his
company RK Centers, owns over 6,000,000 square feet of commercial space in New
England and South Florida. Raanan continues to apply his conservative real
estate principles by operating with a minimal amount of debt, enabling him to
sustain periodic declines in the real estate market; while continuously
investing in improvements to his properties. Raanan's pride in maintaining top
quality shopping centers is evidenced by his personal "signature"
emblazoned on each building with the initials "RK" alongside the
distinct company basketball logo. Raanan's unyielding passion for NBA
basketball was finally fulfilled when he became an original partner of the
Miami Heat expansion franchise in 1986. Raanan's tireless commitment to the
development of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida recently has been
recognized by the City in its renaming 170th Street in Sunny Isles Beach as
"Raanan Katz Boulevard". Raanan was further honored with the
dedication of the Phyllis and Raanan Katz Sports Center, located behind RK
Village Plaza (18200 Collins Avenue), where Raanan remains a fixture on weekend
afternoons taking on all basketball challengers with his still potent outside
shot. www.raanankatz.com
