A 186,443-square-foot industrial building
 located at 18450 15 Mile Road
in Fraser, MI

 

FRASER, MI -- Stan Johnson Company, one of commercial real estate’s leading investment sales brokerage firms, has announced the sale of a 186,443-square-foot industrial building located at 18450 15 Mile Road in Fraser, Michigan.

The manufacturing facility is leased to AAM Metal Forming (NYSE: AXL), a leading global tier 1 automotive supplier that designs and produces driveline and drivetrain components and modules, chassis systems and other formed products for the automotive industry.

 ACW Fraser American LLC, a Tucson, Arizona-based institutional investor, was exclusively represented by Asher Wenig of Stan Johnson Company.

Asher Wenig 

Fraser Fifteen LLC, an institutional investor based in Clifton, New Jersey, acquired the asset for $7.6 million. The cap rate was not disclosed.

“I was proud to represent my client in the sale of this attractive asset,” said Wenig, Senior Director and Partner in Stan Johnson Company’s New York office. “They were able to take advantage of a hot industrial net lease market.”

Located in a northern suburb of Detroit, Michigan, the mission-critical facility is situated on 14.35 acres and was recently renovated in 2020.

At the time of sale, there were approximately 15 years remaining on the primary lease term. The lease features an absolute triple net expense structure and provides 2.0 percent annual rent increases during the primary and option terms.

“The offering was well-received by the market, allowing us to generate several offers by many qualified buyers,” Wenig added.

“Combined with this being a mission-critical facility, well below market rents and there being available buildable FAR, this will be an outstanding investment for the buyer for many years to come.”

CHICAGO, IL – JLL announced its Capital Markets group  arranged a $296 million refinancing for 321 N. Clark, a 936,240-square-foot trophy office tower in Chicago’s River North submarket.

 JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture partnership of Hines, American Realty Advisors and Diversified Real Estate Capital, LLC, to secure the five-year, floating-rate loan through Nuveen Real Estate.

JLL’s Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Directors Keith Largay and Danny Kaufman with support from Analyst Michael Halbach.

 “As today’s work environment continues to stress the importance of a healthy work-life balance, 321 N. Clark stands at the core of the city’s business and cultural districts, setting a standard for excellence to which all other office properties are compared,” Largay noted.

 “The strength of Hines, ARA and Diversified as the borrower in tandem with the quality of 321 N. Clark attracted a truly exceptional amount of interest from the lending community,” Kaufman added.

Situated along the banks of the Chicago River, 321 N. Clark offers a premier riverfront location with immediate access to the financial, entertainment, technology and residential districts of the city.

 Additionally, 321 N. Clark is just minutes from Interstates 90, 94 and 290 as well as Lakeshore Dr.

 The 35-story office tower was originally built in 1987 and underwent an $85 million renovation in 2019, which positioned the property as a premier destination for today’s tenants.

The updates included re-imagining and renovating the lobby and incorporating a four-tier riverfront restaurant and event space operated by Lettuce Entertain You, modernizing the elevators and cab design and adding an amenity floor featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center and  modern tenant lounge.
