As reported by the Orlando Business Journal on Tuesday, the former Magic player has plunked down $7.6 million through his VO Spv Real Estate LLC to purchase the Metro Station shopping complex on Kirkman Road.
The MetroWest shopping center currently houses Brazilian Fight & Fitness, the Juicy Crab, Dollar Tree, Sale Beauty Supply and Cricket Wireless. It has the added attraction of being right next to a Walmart and was price-tagged at $6 million in 2020 by the Orange County Property Appraiser, as per OBJ. (Orange County real estate prices are indeed a crazy train.)
Oladipo played for the Magic as a guard from 2013-2016, but has called the Heat home since March of this year. As mentioned above, Oladipo underwent possibly “season-ending surgery” on his right quadriceps tendon in May and it’s speculated he will be out for a good portion of this year’s play at the very least. The orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation posited to ESPN that a November return for Oladipo might be in the cards.
