LQ Commercial is proud to announce the successful sale, lease, and asset transfer of 9010 Bellaire Bay Dr. in Naples, Fla., a transaction fully brokered by Frank Kupiec and Adam Palmer, CCIM, SIOR of LQ Commercial. This deal marks the expansion of popular Italian restaurant Two Meatballs in the Kitchen into Collier County.
Two Meatballs in the Kitchen plans to open its new Naples location within the next six months. The restaurant’s expansion reflects its growing popularity and will bring its signature dishes to a new market.
“This transaction was about more than just a sale—it was about creating a turnkey opportunity for a new tenant while maximizing value for the seller,” said Frank Kupiec, Senior Broker at LQ Commercial. “By structuring the deal to include the lease and all FF&E, we were able to streamline the transition and set Two Meatballs in the Kitchen up for immediate success.”
The 5,400-square-foot, 0.94-acre freestanding restaurant property, formerly home to The Warehouse Cuisine & Cocktails, was sold by V&T Land LLC to SmithCorp Realty LLC. In addition to brokering the sale, Kupiec and Palmer negotiated a new lease for Two Meatballs in the Kitchen and successfully facilitated the sale of all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), ensuring a smooth handover from the previous owner/operator.
“This deal is a perfect example of how strategic real estate transactions can benefit all parties involved,” said Adam Palmer, CCIM, SIOR, Managing Principal at LQ Commercial. “We’re thrilled to have played a role in bringing a beloved restaurant to Naples while also delivering a comprehensive solution for the buyer and seller.”
LQ Commercial is honored to have facilitated this multi-faceted transaction and looks forward to seeing Two Meatballs in the Kitchen thrive in its new Naples location.
