Building 30 is a 24,000 sq. ft. one story office building that was built in the late 1980s and was first leased by Liberator in 2009.  Building 29 is a 6400 sq. ft., one-story office building and was first leased by Liberator in 2012. Both Buildings are located in the “OFFICE” area within the Airport Master Plan.

 

In 2017, it was determined that a combined lease including Buildings 29 and 30 should be created to better serve the Lessee.  Liberator was chosen as the winning bidder and that lease expires on September 30, 2022.

 

An appraisal of the property was obtained to determine the current market rental value.  The market gross rental rate was determined to be $8.00 per square foot or $243,200.00 annually.

 

Liberator was chosen as the successful bidder of the three (3) year lease with one (1) two (2) year option for renewal, to commence on October 1, 2022 and end September 30, 2025.  The Lease includes separate charges for CAM Fees and Security Fees.  All of which are detailed in Exhibit “A” of the Lease.

 

The Martin County Airport is an Enterprise Fund Entity which is responsible to pay its operational expenses out of income generated at the Airport.  The major income at the Airport is generated from rents of real estate and the sale of fuel for aircraft.

 

Section 32.1 of the Lease requires FAA approval.  The Airport Manager will process a request for FAA review if the BCC approves the lease.
