Real estate investor and YouTube personality Ben Mallah sold the BJ’s Wholesale Club property in Orange Park on Dec. 1 for $13.5 million.
The 109,895-square-foot retail center and gas station is at 560 Blanding Blvd., about 2.7 miles south of the Orange Park Mall.
Built in 2000, the club sits on 10.23 acres.
Mallah, whose company is Equity Management Partners Inc. in Largo near St. Petersburg, sold the BJ’s through Blanding Blvd BJ’S LLC.
The buyer was L.V.M. Corp. in Chicago, led by Virendra Patel.
L.V.M. Corp. then took out a $7.02 million mortgage with Midflorida Credit Union in Lakeland.
Mallah, whose YouTube channel has more than 1 million subscribers and 500 videos, says on his website he built a $500 million real estate portfolio that started 35 years ago with a crack house in Oakland, California.
Mallah bought the BJ’s in 2019 for $13.95 million.
