Marcus & Millichap Brokers $35.3 Million 7-Eleven Portfolio Sale


Glen Kunofsky
NEW YORK, NY  – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of a 29,813-square-foot netlease portfolio consisting of 12 corporate, freestanding 7Eleven convenience stores in Ohio.

The total sales price for the portfolio is $35,329,302, which equates to $1,185 per square foot.

            Glen Kunofsky and Russell Wachtler in Marcus & Millichap’s Manhattan office, along with Mike James in the firm’s Encino, Calif. office, represented the seller. Michael Glass, first vice president and regional manager of Marcus & Millichap’s Cleveland office, is the firm’s broker of record in Ohio.

            The properties are located in dense retail corridors in suburban real estate markets surrounding the Cleveland MSA. 

The locations were previously occupied by another tenant and in 2013 significant capital was allocated to convert the stores to the latest 7Eleven image. 

Russell Wachtler
7Eleven has 8,600 stores in the United States and Canada and more than 54,200 locations worldwide. 

There are approximately 14-plus years remaining on each of the leases, which are all 20year absolute triple-net leases with 2 percent annual rental increases.

“The strong corporate credit of 7-Eleven combined with rare annual rental increases demanded a record-setting cap rate for the portfolio,” says Wachtler.

 “This is a prime example of how the market for mid-sized net-lease portfolios is growing to encompass more private investors as 1031 exchanges grow in dollar size, which has created a more competitive cap rate for portfolios above $25 million,” says Kunofsky.

Evan P. Kristol
ORLANDO, FL  – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, has arranged the sale of Royal Isles, a 264-unit, lender-owned apartment community in Orlando, Fla. The asset sold for $14.4 million.

Evan P. Kristol, senior vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Lauderdale office, and Still Hunter III, a senior director of Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, represented the seller, a private investor from Beverly Hills, Calif., and the buyer, a Miami-based limited-liability company.

“Upon bringing the property to market, we received tremendous interest and generated 11 competitive offers,” says Kristol. 

“The deal closed at $300,000 above the asking price and was awarded to an all-cash buyer who made a non-refundable deposit at contract signing. 

Still Hunter III
"Given the property’s attractive amenity package, oversized floor plans and below market rents, significant rental increases should be achievable through strategic unit renovations and hands-on management,” Kristol concludes.

 “This one-of-a-kind asset is located in one of Los Angeles’ most riveting submarkets, the Westlake District, featuring rare and breathtaking views of all of Los Angeles,” says Harris.

Jake Roberts
“Located between Koreatown and downtown, this is an area that is starting to see a tremendous amount of capital moving into it with several high rises and office-to-apartment conversions planned, along with East Coast investors trading into Los Angeles in an effort to find value. 

Of late, it has become a trendier spot as Koreatown continues to push the boundaries to the east and downtown Los Angeles moves west,” adds Green.

            “The Wilshire Royale Apartment building is an iconic Los Angeles landmark and reflects our company's vision to acquire properties in emerging neighborhoods with powerful and distinct personality, pioneering architecture, and holds tremendous value,” states Karl Slovin, President, M West Holdings LLC. 

"With the Wilshire Royale we intend to bring back the 1920s neoclassical charm and elegance so we can attract the growing millennial renter population that is looking for a modern amenity package that rivals the best buildings in the area.”

Karl Slovin
“The new owner is well positioned to capitalize on the historic nature of the property while renovating it to today’s luxury standards in a market where there is demand for high-end renovated units,” says Grabiec.

Its central location offers easy access to the 10, 101 and 110 freeways with a short commute to downtown, Hollywood and the Westside of Los Angeles, as well as stops on the Metro Red Line and Purple Line.

1008 North Glebe is prominently situated at the corner of North Glebe Road, North Fairfax Drive and Interstate 66 in the transit-oriented Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor.  The combined project is expected to be complete by spring of 2017.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by Sue Carras, Walter Coker and Brian Crivella.

“The Shooshan Company is one of the metro area’s leading developers and SunTrust has become one of its most important lenders having financed this project and The View in Ballston,” said Carras.
