HFF arranges $29 million financing for multi-housing property in Tampa, FL area

Mona Carlton

MIAMI, FL – HFF announced it has arranged $29 million in financing for Summer Palms, a 340-unit, garden-style multi-housing community in Riverview, Florida.

                HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, an entity controlled and managed by Beachwold Residential, to secure the 36-month, bridge/acquisition loan through GE Capital Real Estate. 

Summer Palms is located at 10220 Summer Palm Drive between Interstate 75 and U.S. Highway 301 near Big Bend Road in Riverview, approximately 20 miles southeast of downtown Tampa. 

Completed in 2001, the property is 95 percent leased and includes one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans averaging 1,142 square feet each. 

Elliott Throne

Community amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center and clubhouse with social area.  The borrower is further enhancing the asset to take advantage of the upcoming increase in local demand once the St. Joseph’s Hospital South, a new $225 million hospital, opens in 2015 across the street from the asset.

The HFF debt placement team representing Beachwold was led by senior managing director Mona Carlton, managing director Elliott Throne, associate director Todd Adams, real estate analyst Maxx Carney, as well as director Michael Tabor, who is based in HFF’s local Tampa office.

“Beachwold has been finding strong value-add opportunities to buy in the Florida market and has repositioned them with great success,” stated Throne. 

  “On Summer Palms, they were able to take advantage of a very aggressive bridge financing market where the cost of capital keeps decreasing and the overall terms keep getting more favorable for borrowers.  

Todd Adams

The loan from GE will allow them to offer a great updated product for both existing residents and new residents who are coming into the market due to the arrival of the area’s new hospital.”

Beachwold Residential and its principals have built, owned and managed multifamily properties for 40 years. 

  Through the company’s vast operational and ownership experience, in depth knowledge of its target markets and long-lasting relationships with brokers, lenders and property managers, Beachwold Residential is able to identify and acquire undervalued assets that offer superior long-term returns and lower than average risk.  

The company presently controls more than 40 properties and more than 10,000 multifamily units in Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia

SR Commercial Acquires Two Commercial Assets Totaling $51 Million in San Diego County, CA

  

SR Commercial Portfolio, Miramar, CA

 SAN DIEGO, CA – SR Commercial has acquired two commercial assets encompassing nearly 300,000 square feet and totaling over $51 million of total capitalization in San Diego County.

 The company’s recent acquisitions include a 235,472 square-foot portfolio of office, industrial and retail product in Miramar, Calif.; and a 62,814 square-foot industrial/Flex project in San Diego, Calif., according to Adam Robinson, a Principal at SR Commercial.

“Competition continues to climb for high-quality investment product in San Diego County,” explains Robinson, who founded SR Commercial along with partner CJ Stos. “Limited opportunities combined with strong tenant demand is beginning to drive rental rates upward in both office and industrial markets.  The result is that investment properties on the market today are poised to deliver deep value to those investors who are able to secure product.”

SR Commercial Portfolio, San Diego County, CA

Robinson notes that SR Commercial has acquired over a million square feet of investment product in the past 24 months, and plans to continue to invest in large properties and portfolios throughout San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire.

SR Commercial’s two most recent acquisitions include:

Acquisition 1: Mark II Portfolio in Miramar, Calif.

SR Commercial acquired the Mark II Portfolio, a 235,472 square foot, high-quality portfolio of office, industrial and retail product in Miramar, Calif. for $40 million fully capitalized.

 The portfolio, which encompasses nearly 15 acres of land, is located near the intersection of Interstate 15 and Miramar Road in Miramar, Calif. and consists of eight single and multi-tenant industrial buildings, five multi-tenant office buildings, and one retail/showroom building that is currently fully occupied by 24 Hour Fitness.

Acquisition 2: Morena Business Center in San Diego, Calif.

SR Commercial also recently acquired the Morena Business Center, a 62,814 square-foot industrial property in San Diego, Calif., for $11 million fully capitalized.

The property was 74 percent occupied when acquired.

SR Commercial plans to renovate the vacant units, creating a more modern build-out with polished concrete floors and exposed ceilings. Additional improvements to the project will include new exterior paint, awnings, and signage, as well as updated landscaping. 

“We are experienced in transforming industrial product into more creative spaces that are aligned with the demands of today’s tenants,” explains Stos, who notes that SR Commercial has completed similar renovations in more than seven other investment properties over the past 24 months.

  “Based on the asset’s excellent location and these modern renovations, we will have the opportunity to create deep value in this property that will support a long-term hold.”
