First SCP Hotel to Open in Colorado Springs, CO Following Nine-Month, $6 Million Transformation


Soul Community Planet's First Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO

Ken Cruse
Colorado Springs, CO – Soul Community Planet (SCP) announced today the opening of its first SCP Hotel in Colorado Springs after a nine-month, $6 million renovation.

The 98,000 square-foot, 176-room property, located at the base of the majestic Pikes Peak, is in its final stages of renovation with a soft opening scheduled for June 27. Guests can begin booking their reservations now.

SCP Hotels represents a fresh holistic hospitality concept for both travelers and the surrounding community. Inside each SCP Hotel, guests will find opportunities to recharge their minds, refresh their bodies and re-center their souls, while connecting with fellow travelers and the community.

SCP Hotels aims to help make the planet a better place through the extensive use of green materials, eco-friendly products, solar energy, sustainable practices and water conserving fixtures.

“We’re pleased to introduce SCP Hotels with the opening of the SCP Hotel Colorado Springs,” said Ken Cruse, co-founder and chief executive officer of Soul Community Planet.

 “SCP Hotels represent the core values of holistic hospitality: personal wellness (Soul), social connections (Community) and sustainable practices (Planet). Our goal is to provide simple, pure, hand- crafted experiences for people who want to make positive choices for themselves and for the planet.”

Led by celebrity designer Kelli Ellis of HGTV and The Design Network, the renovation took an outmoded, but well-located hotel down to its bones, and then used eco-friendly and recycled materials to extensively transform the property into what is now the new SCP Hotel Colorado Springs.

Kelli Ellis

The hotel’s clean “eco-industrial” design includes generous collaborative spaces for guests and community to work, socialize and meet.

The SCP Hotel Colorado Springs also offers the first SCP Fit - a 12,000 square-foot state-of-the-art health and wellness venue, which will open this Summer. It all comes together to create a guest experience where those committed to a clean, healthful and sustainable lifestyle will feel right at home.

“My goal was to create an edgy, cool vibe with this property that will resonate as a gathering place for guests, as well as the local community,” said Ellis. “The interiors are accented with industrial ceilings, hand painted murals and subtle metallic elements. The use of reclaimed wood, living green walls, exposed brick, soft lighting and polished concrete create an earthy, eco-industrial feel throughout that we’re really proud of.”

Gus Krimm
Gus Krimm, SCP Hotel Colorado Springs General Manager, added, “We approached the renovation through a holistic lens. Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, we sought ways to use the basic infrastructure of the existing hotel while incorporating a range of innovative, sustainable and non-toxic materials in our renovation.

"Our goal was to bring guests an experience where they can rest and refresh in a healthy environment, connect with community, and make a positive difference for the planet.”

Through its parent company, Soul Community Planet, LLC, SCP Hotels also will donate five percent of its profits to charitable causes that share its values.

Meridian Sells 104,000 SF Multi-Tenant Office Building in San Mateo County, CA for $39.5 Million


Multi-tenant 104,000-SF Office Building, 1000 Marine Boulevard, Brisbane, CA

SAN RAMON, CA. -- Meridian, a full-service real estate developer and owner of general and medical office real estate, is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of its 104,000-square-foot multi-tenant office building located on 1000 Marina Boulevard in Brisbane, California.

The sale price was $39.5 million in an off-market transaction. The buyer was Phase 3 Real Estate Partners of South San Francisco and San Diego.

Meridian acquired the six-story building, which was built in 1983 on four and one-half acres, in December of 2016. 
At the time of the acquisition, the building was 92% leased to seven tenants and the in-place rents were approximately 25% below the current market rents.
 During its ownership, Meridian performed over $2.5 million in property upgrades to the interiors, exteriors and building systems of the building. 
John Pollock
According to Meridian’s Senior Vice President, John Moutsanas, “This was Meridian’s largest general office acquisition at the time. 

"We were big believers in the resurgence of the North San Mateo County market, particularly due to the explosion in life science demand, coupled with YouTube’s large presence and expanding footprint in San Bruno. Our strategy proved out.”

Moutsanas continues, “We had certainly planned to hold the building longer and roll our own rents to the increasing market, but our brokers did a great job of alerting us to an opportunity to sell the property to a more life science-centric developer who would be well-suited to reposition the building -- which is what they did.

"Phase 3 Real Estate Partners was wonderful to work with; they were responsive and really knew their business. Their development of the Genesis Towers just down the 101 from this building gave them the insight to sharpen their pencils and make a quick decision.”

CBRE’s Northern California Capital Markets team represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction.

“Meridian has a healthy pipeline with multiple projects currently in escrow and several completed projects listed for sale in our healthcare business platform,” said John Pollock, Meridian’s CEO.

“With approximately 500,000 square feet currently in development/redevelopment, plus another 500,000 square feet in the development pipeline, we are still looking for more. We really have an appetite for land and buildings where we can bring our expertise to bear and create value.”
