Jones Lang LaSalle Inks 25,678 SF Office Lease at Black Canyon Corporate Center in Phoenix, AZ

  

 PHOENIX, AZ– The Phoenix office of Jones Lang LaSalle has completed a 25,678-square-foot, five-year office lease at Black Canyon Corporate Center (top left photo) in Phoenix.

The expansion doubles the size of tenant TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a leading global provider of technology enabled customer experience solutions that operates a call center for subsidiary company, Revana, out of the Black Canyon Corporate Center space.

 Managing Directors John Bonnell (middle right photo) and Don Mudd (lower left photo), and Vice President Brett Abramson (lower right photo), in the Phoenix office of Jones LaSalle represented the building owner, Parallel Capital Partners. TeleTech was represented by CBRE brokers Chris Hook in Phoenix and Lee Diamond in Denver.

Located at 16404 N. Black Canyon Highway in Phoenix, the 219,000-square-foot Black Canyon Corporate Center sits between Greenway and Bell roads, with direct frontage to Interstate 17. The property is also less than two miles from the I-17/Loop 101 interchange and has more than 2.5 million square feet of retail within a two-mile radius. Property signage is visible from I-17.

“We’ve seen a significant uptick this year in tenant interest across the Phoenix office market, with no signs of falling off,” said Bonnell. “This kind of consistent pressure can quickly drive vacancies down and rents up, and provide some long-awaited relief.”

According to the Jones Lang LaSalle Mid-Year Office Market Overview, overall direct office market vacancy continued to fall from 26.1 percent down to 25.3 percent during the second quarter. With no new office completions happening, Phoenix net absorption for the second quarter 2012 hit almost 600,000 square feet.

 “This compares very favorably to the negative 565,000 square feet of absorption experienced during first quarter 2012,” said Bonnell. “TeleTech moved on a great expansion opportunity, at a property that’s well suited for its call center needs, at a very good time in the market cycle.”

A real estate investment and operating firm that focuses on office, industrial and retail property acquisition, Parallel Capital Partners owns Black Canyon Corporate Center, as well as the City Square Office Towers (722,000 rentable square feet in three buildings; located in Phoenix’s Midtown submarket) and US Bank Center building (364,773 rentable square feet at 101 North in the heart of downtown Phoenix.)

Bonnell, Mudd and Abramson are the exclusive leasing brokers for all three buildings.

Colliers International Completes $5.3 Million Sale of Restaurant Property Formerly Occupied by Islands Restaurant in Encino, CA.

 ENCINO, CA --Colliers International, the third largest global real estate services organization, has completed the $5.3 million sale of an approximately 7,487-square-foot freestanding vacant restaurant building on approximately 32,313 square feet of land.

The Colliers team was able to achieve tremendous pricing for the seller at more than $707-per-square-foot for the building and $164-per-square-foot for the land.

This highly visible property, located at 15927 Ventura Blvd., is situated in the heart of the Encino Business District and was formerly occupied by Islands Restaurant (top left photo)

Jeff Gould (middle right photo) and Brock Burnett (middle left photo)  of Colliers International represented the seller, a private family trust.  Rob Ippolito of Cushman and Wakefield out of San Diego represented the buyer, a private investor.

The asset was leased to the Islands Restaurant and is a landmark property in Encino. When Islands vacated the property in late 2011, Colliers was hired by the ownership to assess sale and lease strategies for the property.

Colliers launched an aggressive sale and lease marketing campaign, which ultimately lead to multiple qualified offers from tenants, investors and owner/users.

Ultimately, Burnett and Gould were able to create competition amongst multiple bidders and identified the most qualified investor to close on this asset all cash, at the highest price and with limited contingencies. The new ownership has enlisted the Colliers team to lease the property for them.

“Our team worked hand in hand with the property owner to establish a clear strategy to maximize value on this asset. After thoroughly analyzing all of the leasing prospects that we generated and comparing them to the sales offers, we determined that selling this asset was the best strategy for ownership,” said Gould.

Colliers International Completes Sale of 54,171-SF Multi-Tenant Industrial Property in Northridge, CA

  

 Northridge, CA. – Colliers International, the third largest global real estate services organization, has completed the sale of a 54,171-square-foot multi-tenant industrial property located at 19015-19031 Parthenia Street in Northridge.  The transaction is valued at $2.55 million.

John DeGrinis (top right photo), SIOR, senior executive vice president, Patrick DuRoss (lower left photo), associate vice president, and Jeff Abraham, senior associate all based in Colliers International’s Encino office represented both the seller, OneWest Bank, and the buyer, Devarim Investment, LLC.

“This property is somewhat unique given its diverse unit sizes that attracted a flurry of interest,” DuRoss explained.  “The major upside with this property was the small unit sizes that make up most of the project.  These smaller units continue to carry reasonably strong demand, and the below market rents that were in place offered the buyer upside in the rents.”

The property consists of four buildings with 19 units ranging from 900 to 30,082 square feet and is 100 percent occupied.
