KBS and HFF Partner to Close Sale of Pierre Laclede Center in Clayton, MO


Pierre Laclede Center, an iconic, two building, Class A office complex totaling 579,846 SF in Clayton, MO

NEWPORT BEACH, CA (May 23, 2019) – KBS, one of the largest owners of commercial real estate and Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today the sale of the Pierre Laclede Center, an iconic, two building, Class A office complex totaling 579,846 square feet in the St. Louis area city of Clayton, Missouri.

 HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, KBS. The property was purchased by Lingerfelt CommonWealth Partners, a national real estate investment management firm based in Richmond, Virginia.

Pieree Laclede exterior

The Pierre Laclede Center was part of the KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II portfolio. Purchased in 2010, the Pierre Laclede Center offers easy access to both downtown St. Louis and the Lambert International Airport via nearby Interstates 170 and 64.

The Pierre Laclede Center comprises two high-rise office towers located at 7701 and 7773 Forsyth Boulevard in the heart of Clayton’s central business district.

The property is a long-established business destination that combines distinctive features, extensive amenities and core location. Pierre Laclede Center’s unrivaled amenity base includes an outdoor veranda/patio area, conference rooms, fitness centers, cafĂ©, deli, on-site concierge and car washing.

Additionally, The St. Louis Club, a premier private-dining club, occupies the top floor of the Pierre Laclede Center and offers views of downtown and the St. Louis arch. The property is within walking distance to Clayton’s burgeoning restaurant and retail scene as well as public transportation.

“The Pierre Laclede Center is a dynamic property in the Clayton office market,” said Dan Park, senior vice president for KBS and asset manager of the property. “We are excited for the new owners and hope they carry on the legacy of this iconic asset.”

The Clayton area experienced a tightened vacancy rate for its Class A properties at 3.8 percent in the first quarter of 2019 according to CBRE St. Louis Office Market View Q1 2019.

Moreover, the Missouri unemployment rate hit 3 percent, its lowest in 50 years, which proved the market’s viability.

 “The Pierre Laclede Center is unique to the St. Louis area, which reflects directly on the continued demand of leasing we’ve seen at the property,” said Marc DeLuca, regional president, Eastern United States for KBS.

 “We anticipate that the new owner will see the same success that we have had in the area.”

Marc DeLuca


The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller included senior managing directors Jaime Fink, Jeffrey Bramson and Danny Kaufman and directors Bryan Rosenberg, Patrick Shields and Sam DiFrancesca.

Lingerfelt CommonWealth will own the tower via its discretionary investment vehicle, Lingerfelt Commonwealth Value Fund II.

Commonwealth Commercial Partners, an affiliated commercial real estate operating firm (also based in Richmond, VA), will open its 14th U.S. office in Clayton and will handle all aspects of the day-to-day asset and property management for the Pierre Laclede Center, in addition to servicing assets for other owners in the St. Louis metro.

Jaime Fink
“The Pierre Laclede Center presented investors with a unique opportunity to invest in Clayton, which is the undisputed preferred choice of office tenants in the St. Louis metropolitan area,” Fink said.

“The core asset offered substantial upside given its highly sought-after infill location combined with the institutional quality of the buildings.”

KW Property Management & Consulting Turns 15



Paul Kaplan
MIAMI, FL –– KW Property Management & Consulting, a classic Miami entrepreneurial success story, is celebrating its 15th anniversary throughout the month of May with special events at its offices throughout the State of Florida.

Since former Certified Public Accountants Paul Kaplan and Robert White launched the residential property management company in May 2004, KWPMC has evolved into an industry leader and the largest private company in the market with more than 1,500 employees and 80,000 units under management.

Over the past three years, the company has expanded from 700 to more than 1,500 employees and from 65,000 units under management to more than 80,000.

Robert White
When Kaplan and White started KWPMC, most of their top competitors had been in the business for decades. Yet, they have grown the company organically – one property and employee at a time - to become one of the largest in the industry.

Kaplan and White accomplished this while navigating the 2008 real estate crash and without acquiring or merging with another company, a rare feat in the property management industry.
