INDIANAPOLIS, IN –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has arranged $11.1 million in acquisition financing for a fully-leased, four-building industrial portfolio totaling 409,851 square feet in the metropolitan Atlanta area.

The portfolio comprises Airport Plaza 2 and 3 at 470 and 472 Plaza Drive in College Park near Hartsfield International Airport; Atlanta Northeast 11 at 4164 Northeast Expressway in Doraville, which is located in the Interstate 85 Northeast submarket at the intersection of Interstate 85 and Interstate 285; and Royal Industrial Center 3 at 5025 North Royal Atlanta Drive in Tucker, also in the Interstate 85 Northeast submarket.

HFF arranges sale of and $42.4 million financing for the Rotunda Building in Charlotte, NC


Rotunda Building, SouthPark Submarket, Charlotte, NC

 
Ryan Clutter
CHARLOTTE, NC  – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (“HFF”) announced it has closed the sale of and arranged $42.4 million in acquisition and improvement financing for the Rotunda Building, a 230,790-square-foot, premier, Class A, multi-tenant office building in the prestigious SouthPark submarket of Charlotte, North Carolina.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a global asset manager.  Equus Capital Partners, Ltd. purchased the building.  Additionally, HFF worked on behalf of the new owner to place the floating-rate acquisition loan with Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

The Rotunda Building represents one of Charlotte’s trophy, iconic office buildings.  Completed in 1988, the four-story building features a two-floor parking deck and surface parking with a total of 761 dedicated parking spaces; lobby consisting of a two-story porte cochère with Italian marble; conference room; Village Tavern, a full-service restaurant; and a water fountain that spans the entire rear side of the building.

 The 91-percent-occupied property is home to a variety of tenants, including Jones Lang LaSalle, Jeffries, First Bank, Capital South, Development Management and Michelin. 

Scot Humphrey
Situated on 5.34 acres at 4201 Congress Street, the Rotunda Building is located at the intersection of Congress Street and Carnegie Boulevard directly across from the 1.6 million-square-foot SouthPark Mall, a prestigious regional retail destination.  

The building is in the heart of the SouthPark submarket, a mixed-use, urban environment with a live-work-play atmosphere five miles south of Charlotte’s Uptown area.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Ryan Clutter, director Scot Humphrey and associate director Chris Lingerfelt.

HFF’s debt placement team representing the buyer was led by director Brent Bowman and senior managing director Travis Anderson.

 ”The Rotunda Building is a trophy asset located in Charlotte’s prestigious SouthPark submarket,” Clutter said.  “Iconic assets of this nature continue to be sought after from investors seeking an attractive mix of stability and modest upside. 

“We believe more core and core-plus office assets like Rotunda will come to market in Charlotte and the Carolinas over the next 36 months as investor attention to these opportunities continues to be strong.  The draw of institutional capital to the Carolinas region is at an all-time high and we see this continuing for the foreseeable future.” 

“The high-quality nature of Rotunda, a diversified tenant roster and its location within the booming SouthPark submarket attracted substantial lender interest from both life insurance companies and banks,” Bowman added.

Randy Fifield

 CHICAGO, IL (April 28, 2017) – Chicago-based Fifield Realty Corp. and F & F Realty Ltd. broke ground Wednesday, April 26, on 727 West Madison (also known as One South Halsted): a 44-story, 492-unit luxury rental tower with more than 10,000 square feet of retail space.

At just under 500 feet, it will be the tallest building in Chicago’s West Loop upon its completion in late 2018. 

Dr. Laura Calamos


Speaking at the groundbreaking event were David Friedman, president of F & F Realty Ltd.; Randy Fifield, chairwoman of Fifield Realty Corp.; Steve Fifield, chairman of Fifield Companies; 27th Ward Alderman Walter Burnett Jr.; Dr. Laura Calamos, president of the National Hellenic Museum located in West Loop’s Greektown; and Irene Koumi, president of the board of directors for the Chicago Greektown Educational Foundation.

Both Dr. Calamos and Ms. Koumi were presented with life-sized checks for $30,000 for each of their respective organizations as a donation from 727 West Madison.

David J. Friedman
“We’re so thrilled to have the neighborhood growing, expanding and evolving,” said Dr. Calamos. “Last year, the National Hellenic Museum served over 15,000 people through classes, tours and field trips. 

"We believe there is so much to learn from our history and our heritage. This building is a wonderful addition that allows us to bring more education to a larger community.”

Designed by Chicago-based FitzGerald Associates Architects, with Lendlease as general contractor and interior design by Evanston-based Morgante Wilson Architects, the residences at 727 West Madison will include studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts ranging from 490 to 1,550 square feet.

Individual units will be appointed with plank flooring; oversized windows with views of downtown and Lake Michigan; kitchens with quartz countertops, flat-paneled cabinets, high-end stainless steel appliances and single-bowl undermount sinks, and Grohe Concetto faucets; and bathrooms with quartz countertops, frameless glass shower doors, and porcelain tile walls and flooring.

Select units will feature walk-in closets in the master bedroom and double- bowl vanities in the master bathroom.

Steve Fifield
From 727 West Madison, residents will be within walking distance of popular grocers and retailers, one-of-a-kind shops, Randolph and Fulton Street restaurants, nightlife, CTA stops and Metra stations, Divvy stations, and a large number of employers across multiple industries.
  
 “Google is here and McDonald’s is coming, Sterling Bay has a big presence, and every day you hear about more tech firms coming to the West Loop,” said Randy Fifield. “It was important to us to create a luxury building that would serve a diverse demographic of people wanting to enjoy the West Loop experience.”

Outdoor amenities at 727 West Madison will include a large sun terrace with a pool, spa, cabanas, and grilling stations with intimate seating areas with porticos for dining and lounging.

Indoor amenities will include a fitness club with a yoga, barre and Pilates studio; private massage room; resident lounge with demonstration kitchen; state-of-the-art screening room with surround sound; ‘WeWork’-style business center and conference rooms with presentation screen, work carrels, and high-speed Wi-Fi; dog spa; and bicycle “kitchen” with extensive bike storage, supplies, tools and air pumps. High-speed internet and DIRECTV will be available in all units.

 Residents will have access to a 24-hour on-site concierge and adjacent parking garage with 375 parking spaces.

Alderman Burnett acknowledged David Friedman for spearheading development of the empty site and for his collaboration with community organizations like the Greektown SSA and the West Loop Gate Association.


Walter Burnett Jr.
 He recognized the project’s financial contributions to the National Hellenic Museum and the Chicago Greektown Educational Foundation, as well as its $1 million donation for affordable housing to be built in the 27th Ward.

Friedman, who owns the 398-room Crowne Plaza Metro adjacent to the 727 West Madison site, thanked Alderman Burnett for entertaining discussions on 727 West Madison beginning in 2009. 

He also recognized FitzGerald Associates for beautifully articulating a vision for the building during its early stages of development.

“It’s a very exciting day for us,” said Friedman. “It gives us a lot of pride to make this contribution at the gateway of the West Loop. We’re honored to co-develop this building with the Fifields, who have the ability, the finesse, and the flair to create an iconic apartment tower.”

CBRE National Retail Partners West Completes $33.25 Million Sale of BeachWalk in Solana Beach, CA



Solana Beach, CA BeachWalk Retail Center







John Read
SOLANA BEACH, CA  – CBRE’s John Read announced that his National Retail Partners – West (NRP-West) team along with Reg Kobzi in CBRE’s San Diego office completed the sale of BeachWalk, a 54,973 square-foot coastal retail center in the city of Solana Beach, Calif.

Situated along Highway 101, the property is steps to the Pacific Ocean, walking distance to the Cedros Design District and Amtrak Train Station, and less than a mile from the world famous Del Mar Fairgrounds, site of the Del Mar Racetrack. The sale price was $33.25 million.

CBRE’s retail investment experts Read, Philip Voorhees, Jimmy Slusher, Kirk Brummer, and Kobzi, represented the seller, a partnership managed by The Muller Company, an Orange County-based real estate investment company. 

The buyer, a fund manager based in Chicago, also represented by CBRE’s NRP-West team, acquired BeachWalk as an addition to its portfolio.

Built in 1993, BeachWalk shopping center sits on 3.06-acre site at 437 S. Highway 101 in Solana Beach. According to Read, the CBRE team’s marketing system distributed more than 540 offering memoranda to investors and brokers, and through the team’s "managed bid" offer process, generated eight offers to purchase the property.

Phillip Voorhees
"True coastal retail projects like BeachWalk seldom come to market. The property’s internet-resistant ‘daily needs’ and complementary tenancy with national, regional and local operators including California Pizza Kitchen, Alfonso’s of La Jolla, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, Banfield Pet Hospital, and other established tenants, make the property an integral part of this coastal community," said Read.

"There are few alternatives in this immediate area and coastal areas in general for tenants seeking more traditional retail center space with adequate on-site parking, keeping occupancy levels high,” Read noted.

“Based on the property’s configuration, strong historical occupancy, improving tenancy and upward trending rents in this highly affluent trade area where average household income exceeds $142,000, Beachwalk is a trophy asset in a coastal location that will maintain its dominant market position for years to come."

U.S. Hotel Profits Grow in 2016 Despite Slowdown in Revenue

  
 
R. Mark Woodworth
  Atlanta, GA –– U.S. hoteliers enjoyed a seventh consecutive year of increasing profits in 2016 despite a slowdown in the rate of revenue growth.  

According to the recently released 2017 edition of Trends® in the Hotel Industry by CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research, total operating revenue, driven by a 0.2 percent rise in occupancy and a 2.5 percent growth in average daily rate (ADR), increased by 2.4 percent in 2016 for the average hotel in its survey sample. 

However, by limiting the growth in operating expenses to just 1.6 percent, managers at the Trends® properties were able to extract a 3.7 percent increase in gross operating profits (GOP) for the year.

“The competitive market conditions faced by U.S. hotels in 2016 have been well documented.  With the results of the 2017 Trends® report, we now have an understanding of the impact that the modest revenue gains had on the bottom-line,” said R. Mark Woodworth, senior managing director of CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research. 

“Clearly, U.S. hotel operators saw the threat of stagnant or declining occupancy and slow ADR growth and reacted by controlling expenses.  The 3.7 percent increase in profits is the lowest we have observed since the Great Recession, but was a commendable accomplishment given the upward pressures on labor and distribution costs.”

Veronica Malolos


KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Veronica Malolos, a broker with NAI Realvest, recently completed a $590,000 sale of the former CenterState Bank building at 2801 13th St. in St. Cloud that enabled the bank to build a new facility for its operations before closing.

Malolos said when Buyer JSA Properties of St. Cloud, LLC (for St. Cloud  Compounding Pharmacy)  made the offer on the 2,542 square foot building, Seller CenterState then proceeded to do a lot split and began construction of its new branch bank building on the piece of the parcel at the corner of U.S. 192 and Budinger Ave. 

As soon as construction was complete in early April, the bank moved to its new building and the pharmacy closed on the former bank building. 

St. Cloud Compounding Pharmacy is now in the process of moving their current operations to the new U.S. 192 location.
