SAN FRANCISCO,  CA, July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Colliers International has been retained as the exclusive marketing agent for Charleston Plaza, an approximate 132,590 square-foot community retail center in Mountain View, Calif.

Located in California's affluent Silicon Valley, Dollinger Properties developed Charleston Plaza in 2006.

Atlanta Property Group Acquires 280 Interstate North



 ATLANTA, GA (July 23, 2012) – Atlanta Property Group, a locally based real estate investment firm, said today it has closed on its acquisition of 280 Interstate North (top left photo), an office building in the heart of Atlanta’s Cumberland/Galleria submarket.

The six-story building at 280 Interstate North Circle in Cobb County comprises 124,273 square feet and is adjacent to the Interstate North Office Park and just north of the intersection of I-285 and I-75.

APG’s newest asset, 280 Interstate North offers great access to interstates 285 and 75 and is proximate to Sandy Springs, Vinings and Buckhead. The building also features free parking at a ratio of 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet that is uncommon in the area and will enable 280 Interstate to compete for high-density users.

Over the next year, Atlanta Property Group will invest nearly $400,000 to renovate the building’s common areas and improve the property’s aesthetic appeal. APG will compete aggressively for tenants and has ample capital available for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

Built in 1982, the building is 72 percent leased. A Cushman & Wakefield team led by David Meline (middle left photo) and Stewart Calhoun (lower right photo) represented the seller in the transaction.

Terms of the 280 Interstate North transaction were not disclosed, although APG did purchase the asset at a substantial discount to its most recent sale in 2007.

“280 Interstate North fits nicely into Atlanta Property Group’s portfolio of well-located, value-orientated properties that offer tenants quality office space at competitive prices,” said Jonathan Rodbell (middle right photo), a partner at Atlanta Property Group. “The asset also allows us to further diversify geographically and offer space in the desirable Cumberland/Galleria market.”

Court Thomas, also a partner in Atlanta Property Group, said the firm is seeking similar assets to add to its growing portfolio. “We’re well positioned to acquire additional similar middle-market properties at discounted prices.”

280 Interstate North is the latest acquisition by APG’s discretionary fund, which has acquired four properties totaling more than 700,000 square feet in the past two years. The other three are 1200 Ashwood in the Central Perimeter submarket, 2801 Buford Highway in the Druid Chase office park and The Park at Perimeter Center East.

APG has tapped Austin Chase and Kirven Brantley of Lavista Associates to market and lease 280 Interstate North. They can be reached at 770-448-6400.

Charles Dunn Co. Completes $3.7 Million Sale of a Single-Tenant Retail Property Occupied by Marsh Supermarket in Cincinnati, OH




LOS ANGELES, CA, July 23, 2012 – Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the western United States, has completed the $3,705,000 sale of a single-tenant retail property occupied by Marsh Supermarket located at 11865 Hamilton Ave. in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Michel Hibbert (lower right photo) of Charles Dunn Company represented the Los Angeles-based buyer, BH Marsh Investment LLC.

The seller was MCI Hamilton Ohio Grocery LLC and was represented by Bob Tuller and Tom Baginski of Cassidy Turley. The closing cap rate was 10.34 percent.

“There is a large amount of capital in California seeking real estate opportunities. Single-tenant retail properties outside of the state can present better annual returns yet offer the security of a tangible asset you can’t get from stock market investing,” said Hibbert.

Hibbert added: “We identified a well-located NNN-leased, single-tenant property with a well-performing tenant that is on a long-term lease. This acquisition provided the buyer with a favorable cap rate as well as no property management responsibilities.”

The free-standing property totals 32,117 square feet and is situated on nearly 9 acres of land.
