Marcus & Millichap Reports Slow but Steady Economic Gains Support Broad-Based Industrial Revitalization


Industrial complex, Columbus, OH

WALNUT CREEK, CA – Marcus & Millichap’s second quarter research shows that though economic growth has been modest so far this year, demand for industrial space has been supported by an expansion of the drivers that underpin the economy — distinguishing this year’s performance from the recent past.

IDI Distribution Center, Memphis, TN
Demand for big-box distribution locations has expanded beyond traditional tenants, such as third-party logistics services, freight forwarders and other trade-related activities, to include a growing cadre of manufacturers, e-commerce companies, fulfillment centers, and home goods and food suppliers.

In addition, the combination of easing credit conditions and low interest rates have spurred demand from small- to mid-sized manufacturing and high-tech firms, stabilizing industrial multi-tenant performance.

Multi-modal mega-distribution hubs, submarkets near key seaports, air cargo and railroad transit locations, and modern Class A warehouse facilities remain the locus of industrial demand.

Industrial building, Santa Fe Springs, CA
As a result, the recovery in many metros and product types, while improving, continues to lag gateway and inland port markets. Similarly, investors have focused acquisitions on core assets in primary markets.

 However, recent transaction trends reflect a notable uptick in tertiary markets where higher yields and stronger revenue growth opportunities have attracted investors.

            IPA executive vice president investments Stanford Jones, IPA vice president investments Salvatore Saglimbeni and IPA vice president investments Philip Saglimbeni advised the seller, Spieker Companies. The buyer is The Bascom Group.

Stanford W. Jones
            “The investment appeal of this asset is driven by Silicon Valley’s extraordinary employment fundamentals, which are expected to translate to continued high market occupancy, as shown by Campbell’s second quarter 2013 average occupancy of 97.5 percent,” says Jones.  “Strong market occupancy is also reflected at the property and should enable the buyer to continue to increase market rents.”


Philip Saglimbeni
            “In addition to proximity to thriving high-tech employers such as eBay and Netflix, Campbell Plaza represents a prime urban infill community,” adds Salvatore Saglimbeni. “Vibrant Downtown Campbell, the VTA Light Rail Line and the Safeway Anchored Campbell Plaza Shopping Center are all within walking distance.” 

Built in 1972 on 3.8 acres, the property is located at 710 Nido Drive and consists of one single-story clubhouse/fitness center and eight two-story residential buildings.

Landmark $138 Million Multifamily Sale Arranged by IPA in Foster City, CA

  
Harbor Cove Apartment Homes, Foster City, CA


FOSTER CITY, CA, Aug. 12, 2013 – Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a multifamily brokerage division of Marcus & Millichap serving the needs of institutional and major private investors, has arranged the sale of Harbor Cove Apartment Homes , a 400-unit waterfront apartment complex in Foster City, Calif., the geographical midpoint between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

Stanford W. Jones
The sales price of $138 million equates to $345,000 per unit.

            IPA executive vice president investments Stanford Jones, IPA vice president investments Philip Saglimbeni and IPA vice president investments Salvatore Saglimbeni advised the seller, Essex Property Trust.

The buyer is a fund sponsored by Acacia Capital Corporation. In addition to Harbor Cove, the Jones-Saglimbeni Team has brokered seven other major trades in the Bay Area year to date, with over $300+ million in pending closings. 

            “Despite significant volatility in the capital markets over the past few months, we continue to see very strong and qualified activity on well-located assets positioned to capitalize on the Bay Area’s vibrant economy”, says Jones. 

Philip Saglimbeni
“The primary acquisition premise for Harbor Cove is based on an extensive renovation strategy, which is driven by wide spreads to Class-A rents in the immediate market.

“Furthermore, Harbor Cove’s micro-location is arguably the best in Foster City, boasting dramatic waterfront views, award-winning schools and immediate access to both retail and employers.”

“Opportunities to acquire larger multifamily assets in the mid-peninsula market are extremely rare.  In fact, Harbor Cove is the only 100-plus unit asset that has traded hands in Foster City since 2004,” adds Philip Saglimbeni.
