Burger King bunker' sold

Burger King Corp. has sold its former backup data facility to Regional Properties for $3.5 million, or about $159 a square foot, said ComReal Miami, which represented the seller.

Regional Properties will lease the 22,000-square-foot facility to the Sunrise Group, a health care company.

Built in 1986, the building, at 11975 S.W. 140th Terrace, earned the nickname "Burger King bunker" after it served as a shelter for dozens of employees and their families during Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It has a concrete roof and walls, a full sprinkler system and a built-in UPS backup and generator systems with heavy electrical power.

In recent years Burger King has leased the facility to Precision Response Corp.

"This is a great real estate property," ComReal's Edward Redlich said in a news release. "It has gone from a data center to a call center, and will now be used for a health care facility. It is rare that so many different types of businesses can all benefit from the same facility with little changes."
