Automotive dealer VMT Enterprises, specializing in new and custom Mercedes Sprinter Vans, has signed a 12,930-square-foot lease at 540 W. Sunrise Blvd. in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

VMT Enterprises offers one of the “largest and most diverse inventories of new and pre-owned Mercedes Benz sprinters in the country.” The need for enlarged service and showroom space results from a surging demand in specialized van services.

Automotive real estate expert and LQ Commercial Senior Associate, Ronald Ricks, represents VMT in their Florida expansion. In just sixty days, “Ron” uncovered an off-market destination in the core of Fort Lauderdale’s affluent Central Business District; a rare find for automotive-zoned outfits.

Prior to LQ Commercial, Ricks was formerly the Senior Real Estate Manager at Bridgestone Retail Operations. He gives credit to an “instrumental and extensive network throughout Florida’s commercial real estate community” that helped identify “the most attractive options for VMT’s expansion requirements, and in the shortest time.”

The dealership is now open for business. For more information about VMT Enterprises, visit www.vmtenterprises.com.
