DALLAS, TX, Feb. 22, 2016 -- Quadrant Investment Properties, LLC (“QIP”) is pleased to announce it has acquired Saint Paul Place, a 22-story, 273,217 squarefoot office building located on the corner of Ross Avenue and Saint Paul Street in the Dallas Arts District.

The building is currently 78% leased to a diverse roster of small to midsized tenants including DMagazine, Crowe Horwath and Sendero Business Systems. This is the seventh acquisition for QIP.

tenant base.

”QIP plans to implement several improvements including lobby amenity upgrades and a tenant conference center and lounge that will include a balcony overlooking the
Dallas Museum of Arts sculpture garden.

The new ownership will also upgrade numerous corridors and implement a buildingwide spec suite program.

“Saint Paul Place is a trophy office asset located in the middle of Dallas’ urban markets, the CBD and Uptown”, said Nick Cassavechia, Vice President of QIP.

 “The young talent moving to and living in this area is an important factor in current and prospective tenant’s site selection, and we feel Saint Paul Place is
positioned well for this demand.”

Cassavechia joined QIP in 2014 from HFF.

Scott C. Sandelin
MIAMI, FL,  Feb. 22, 2016 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, has obtained the exclusive right to market Bel-Air lofts in Buena Vista located at 4920-4940 NE 2nd Avenue , a mixed-use development opportunity of four vacant land parcels located in Miami’s Buena Vista/Design District neighborhood.

            “This is a unique opportunity for a developer to acquire one of the last and largest development sites available in the Buena Vista submarket,” says Scott C. Sandelin, a vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Miami office.

“The current ownership successfully obtained waivers for three years allowing ingress and egress to the commercial and residential buildings through Northeast 50th Street.”

            Sandelin and Jonathan De La Rosa, an associate also in Marcus & Millichap’s Miami office, are representing the seller, a limited liability company from Miami.

            “Due to the high rental rates in the Design District, many retailers are considering moving operations just north to Buena Vista where rents are significantly lower,” says De La Rosa. “There are four new projects proposed or being developed along Northeast 2nd Ave.”

The four vacant land parcels on the northwest corner of 50th Street and Northeast 2nd Ave. total 25,437 square feet of which 18,537 square feet are zoned T4-L and 6,900 square feet are zoned T4-R.
