Jones Lang LaSalle Closes $22 Million, Tempe, AZ. Industrial Portfolio Sale

  

Part of Broadway industrial portfolio, Tempe, AZ

Mark Detmer

PHOENIX, AZ –Capital Markets experts in the Phoenix office of Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) have completed a $22.1 million sale of Broadway Industrial Portfolio, totaling three Class A buildings and 308,038 square feet in Tempe, Ariz.

The deal is JLL’s second investment sale in the area this quarter, accentuating the strength and draw of the submarket’s commercial real estate inventory.

Jones Lang LaSalle Managing Directors Mark Detmer and Bo Mills represented the property seller, San Francisco-based Prologis, Inc. The buyer is DCT Industrial Trust.

Bo Mills

Broadway Industrial Portfolio encompasses an 110,000-square-foot building at 1005 W. Alameda Dr; a 96,437-square-foot building at 2910 S. Hardy Drive; and a 101,601-square-foot building at 2925 S. Roosevelt St., all in Tempe.

Each building is a Class A, institutional quality asset offering manufacturing, distribution and office space. The properties are also all located directly off of Interstate 10 and fully occupied, with no near-term rollover, to tenants including United Stationers Supply Co., ACI Plastics, Inc., Misty Mate, Inc. and Triumph Group, Inc.

“These buildings are exceptional in that they combine outstanding functionality and full occupancy with a true Class A image in an infill location,” said Detmer. “This includes access—within minutes—to many of the key amenities that a high-end industrial user might need: an extensive freeway network, international airport, deep labor pool and host of retail opportunities.”

Broadway 101 Office Park, Tempe, AZ

In addition, the project is located within the Southeast Valley, an area that over the last decade has remained one of the nation’s fastest growing regions for industrial and technology companies, and according to JLL is well situated for long-term stability.

Jones Lang LaSalle Executive Vice Presidents Pat Harlan and Steve Sayre, and Associate Kyle Westfall, will serve as the exclusive leasing brokers for the property buyer on behalf of DCT Industrial Trust.

 This is the second investment sale closed by JLL in the Tempe submarket this quarter. In July, the firm completed a $27.1 million sale of Broadway 101 Office Park, a deal that was driven by high market demand and fundamentals reminiscent of pre-recession transactions.

MBA Reacts to Risk Retention Re-Proposal

                                         

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Aug. 28, 2013) – David H. Stevens, President and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), issued the below statement following today's re-proposal of the risk retention rule.

David H. Stevens

“The re-proposed rule is a reflection of how well the notice and comment process can work.  Regulators proposed a rule and received a unanimous reaction from diverse groups within housing and real estate finance that the proposal would have unduly constrained  the availability of mortgage credit for many borrowers.

“As a result the regulators recognized the implications for consumers and the broad mortgage markets, and decided to alter and then re-propose a much better rule.

“We are extremely pleased with the proposal that aligns the Qualified Mortgage (QM) and Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) definitions for risk retention purposes.

“It is important to note that the risk retention rule impacts other asset classes including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). In that vein, MBA is gratified that the Premium Capture Cash Reserve Account (PCCRA) proposal was eliminated from the re-proposal. 

"The PCCRA would have required all issuer profits to be placed in a first-loss position, which would have eliminated the financial incentive for issuing CMBS.

“MBA applauds the regulators for carefully balancing the competing policy objectives in this rule, and looks forward to continuing to work with them to ensure that other portions of this rule are strengthened in order to bolster the real estate markets and also protect borrowers and investors.”
