HFF closes $49 million sale of Inland Empire, California retail power center

Vernola Marketplace, Jurupa Valley, CA

Bryan Ley

LOS ANGELES, CA – HFF announced today that it has closed the $49 million sale of Vernola Marketplace, a retail power center located in Jurupa Valley, California.

                HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between Rockwood Capital, Equity One, Inc. and Vestar.  Merlone Geier Partners purchased the property, which included the assumption of existing debt.

                Vernola Marketplace is located at 6205 Pats Ranch Road in Jurupa Valley, adjacent to Interstate 15 with exposure to more than 314,000 cars per day. 

The 22.2-acre site is situated 45 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, 20 miles from Orange County, and eight miles from the LA/Ontario International Airport.

 Completed in 2007, the 210,963-square-foot property is 84 percent leased to tenants including Ross Dress for Less, Bed Bath and Beyond, Michael’s, Petco, BevMo!, Denny’s, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Jamba Juice. The shopping center also features a 172,000-square-foot Lowe’s that is not part of this 

transaction.

John Crump

  The HFF team representing the seller was led by managing director Bryan Ley, director John Crump and senior managing director Michael Ross.

                “Vernola Marketplace represented another significant retail trade in the Inland Empire market within the past 12 months. 

“The asset drew strong interest from both institutional and regional real estate investors and represented an excellent acquisition opportunity in a secondary market of Southern California,” said Ley.

  “The center proved especially appealing due to a terrific line-up of national tenants, continued rental growth attributed to growing residential demand, and offered further upside in the backfilling of the vacant junior-anchor box.”

Michael Ross

Ley continued, “The HFF investment sales team has completed more than $374 million in retail sales in the Inland Empire in the past 36 months and this sale further exemplified the desire of large institutions for top-tier, well-located assets in this region.”

US CMBS Delinquency Rate Continues to Sink in January According to Trepp

NEW YORK, NY – Trepp LLC, the leading provider of information, analytics, and technology to the CMBS, commercial real estate, and banking markets, released its January 2014 US CMBS Delinquency Report  (available at www.trepp.com/knowledge/research).

Manus Clancy

January marks the eighth straight month of improvement in the Trepp delinquency rate for US commercial real estate loans in CMBS. The rate fell by 18 basis points over the course of January to 7.25%.

 This level compares to 9.57% from one year ago. The last time the rate rose was May of 2013, when the rate increased by only four basis points.­

There are currently $38.9 billion in delinquent loans, and $47.7 billion in loans with the special servicer.

 During January, $1.3 billion in previously delinquent loans were resolved with losses, while $163 million were resolved without losses. In addition, almost $1 billion in loans cured during the month.

 However, new delinquencies totaled about $1.8 billion. These new delinquencies are slightly greater than December’s newly delinquent loans.

“The CMBS market managed to stay warm compared to the brutally cold month experienced by the Midwest and Northeast,” said Manus Clancy, Senior Managing Director of Trepp. “The CMBS delinquency rate continued its improvement and CMBS spreads, particularly new issue BBB bonds, narrowed nicely. Not a bad way to kick off 2014.”

Trepp believes there is more room for improvement for the delinquency rate in the near-term. A rate below 7% could be attainable by early spring as loan resolutions remain very high.

Colliers Industrial Team Repositions Megacenter Palmetto in Medley, FL

Megacenter Palmetto, 8600 NW South River Drive, Medley, FL

Erin Dee

MIAMI, FL, Feb,  5, 2014 - Colliers International South Florida is pleased to announce the successful repositioning of Megacenter Palmetto, the 171,000-square-foot, retail/flex property located at 8600 NW South River Drive, Medley, FL. The property went from completely vacant to over 75% pre-leased in just five months.

The property was purchased by Megacenter, a group of investors from Chile, on January 1, 2013 and repositioned by Colliers International South Florida's Miami Industrial team Mort Fetterolf, Director of Industrial Services and Erin Dee, Industrial Associate.

"The prelease up success of Megacenter is indicative of continued strong demand for well-located industrial product in South Florida," says Fetterolf. "Paired with aggressive marketing and hands on ownership, our team implemented a creative strategy to reposition the asset."

Mort Fetterolf

The site, formerly occupied by Regal Kitchens for industrial use, is being transformed with a facade overhaul, landscaping, new doors, dock height truck wells and improved signage, all slated to be completed by April 1st.

New anchor tenants, including K1 Speed, Inc., a retail go-cart racing operation, will create a family oriented entertainment destination in Medley.

The go-cart operation will occupy 82,200 square feet and feature signage on the Palmetto. K1 was represented by Nick Wigoda, Steve Medwin and Matt Maciag at Jones Lang LaSalle.

Another retail user, Dax International Brokers, Inc., a kitchen fixture showroom, has signed on for 19,500 square feet. Dax International was represented by Lucia Custer and Gabriel Manacoal of NAI Miami.

The Megacenter property also features 30,000 square feet of self-storage units and 80 executive office units with all services included, which will be ready for occupancy in March 2014.

Only four small 4,000-square-foot retail units remain currently available, all with signage on the Palmetto. As a result of their successful relationship, Colliers has been asked to continue to work with owner Megacenter in achieving their plans to purchase additional properties around the country.

Concord Hospitality Enters 2014 Approaching $1 Billion Development Milestone

Mark Laport

MRALEIGH, NC,  Feb. 5, 2014—Concord Hospitality Enterprises today announced the company's most aggressive development pipeline to date, with fourteen hotels currently in active development, seven which are scheduled to open in 2014.

"Because we believe there is a consistent market for strategically located, premium-branded hotels, we continued to build every economic cycle as we have every year for the past twenty years," said Mark Laport, president and CEO of Concord Hospitality.  

“However, we view this current phase as one of the strongest periods to be a hotel developer in recent memory, certainly in the past five years.

“We are in the fortunate position of being able to attract significant amounts of well-priced debt, supported by appropriate equity.   We have partnered with several new investors in recent months and expect that trend to continue.

“The key is to not jump at every opportunity out there; as financing becomes more available and more projects get underway, discipline becomes especially important,” Laport cautioned.    “While we are currently working the most aggressive pipeline in our history, we also are turning down more than ever. On average, only one out of every eight projects goes forward."

Matthew Crosswy

 ATLANTA, GA —Stonehill Strategic Capital, (SSC) an affiliate of Peachtree Hotel Group focused on hotel financing, today announced that it has ramped up its lending platform and plans to deploy approximately $200 million, primarily in mezzanine and bridge loans for hotel assets and development over the next 12 months. 

The company targets the $1 million to $10 million loan range for mezzanine loans and $3 million to $20 million for bridge financing.

            “Hospitality and lodging fundamentals have continued to strengthen, driving a surge in transaction activity," said Mat Crosswy, president of SSC. 

“However, buyers are facing a shortfall in the capital stack due to banks’ reluctance and conservative nature when underwriting hospitality credits.  

“SSC realizes that every deal is unique and can provide potential borrowers an edge with higher leverage loans coupled with creativity, timeliness and flexibility in their execution, when speed and certainty of close may matter most.

Jatin Desai

“The majority of bridge and mezzanine lenders today focus on larger transactions and major markets, while community banks continue to shy away from hotel lending, except in their own, limited footprint.

“This makes it harder for smaller owners and investment groups, especially those in secondary and tertiary markets, to obtain sufficient financing to complete an acquisition or execute a needed renovation. 

“Because of our extensive   background in the hotel industry, we are comfortable looking at any type of property/location and responding quickly.” 

            SSC Principal Jatin Desai said that SSC’s bridge and mezz loans will complete the capital stack up to 85 percent loan-to-value (LTV), with two- to five-year terms.   

The company offers competitive rates that vary depending on the specifics of the transaction and strength of sponsors.  SSC foresees the bulk of its lending going towards acquisitions and refinancings, with some limited new development, preferably in premium brands in the select-service and extended-stay categories throughout the U.S. 

Greg Friedman

            “From a financing perspective, we are optimistic that the demand for debt will continue to be robust in 2014 given the on-going normalization of the capital and transaction markets,” Greg Friedman, SSC principal.

 “Already, we are experiencing strong interest in our mezzanine programs where borrowers are utilizing the funds to complete the capital stack and lock in a historical low senior loan rate. 

“We also are seeing borrowers utilize our bridge programs to execute quickly on value- added-type transactions or transactions that have a short window for execution.”

            Since launching in the third quarter of 2013, Stonehill Strategic Capital closed and funded five transactions.  In addition to providing loan financing, Stonehill Strategic Capital also purchases first mortgage notes.  The company via affiliates purchased eight first mortgage notes in 2013.

 “As lenders continue to move distressed mortgages off their balance sheets, we expect that this market will remain fertile and that we will acquire as many as 10 to 12 notes over the next 12 to 18 months,” Friedman added.
