DALLAS, TX --The Dallas office of Hines, the international real estate firm, and Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE: CUZ), the Atlanta-based REIT, announced today the formation of a joint venture to develop Victory Center in the Uptown Dallas submarket.

Designed by Duda/Paine Architects, Victory Center will be a 23-story, trophy office tower with approximately 466,000 rentable square feet of office and retail space and is expected to achieve LEED® Gold designation.

The 2.94-acre, fully entitled site is under contract, and Hines and Cousins expect to commence construction in mid-2015.

Hines and Cousins previously partnered on the development of One Ninety One Peachtree Tower in Atlanta. The 1.2 million-square-foot, 50-story office tower was completed in 1990.

Cynthia Cowen

Hines Southwest Regional CEO Mark Cover stated, "We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with Cousins again. They have a wonderful reputation for developing and owning best-in-class office towers. We look forward to leveraging the very best that our firms have to offer in the development of Victory Center."

"We are thrilled to once again partner with Hines, a true global leader in office development," said Larry Gellerstedt, president and chief executive officer of Cousins.

"Our organizations share very similar cultural values and highly complementary skillsets. Victory Center will be an excellent addition to the thriving Uptown Dallas office market, and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of the transformation occurring at Victory Park."

Victory Center will be located just north of Hines' One Victory Park office development which was delivered in 2008 and is currently 93 percent leased.

Bill Brokaw

Victory Center will also benefit from market leading amenities and attractions in close proximity including the DART Rail System, the popular Katy Trail, W Dallas Victory Hotel, American Airlines Arena and numerous retail and restaurant destinations.

Tenants can also expect a strong amenity base at Victory Center, featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center, a conference center, an on-site restaurant and café, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Dallas.

Lincoln Property Company Southeast Brokers Sale of Fortune 100 Data Center in Metro Atlanta

  

Denton Shamburger

ATLANTA, GA (Nov. 10, 2014) – Lincoln Property Company Southeast (Lincoln) has handled the $50 million sale of a 184,553-square-foot data center in suburban Atlanta.

Datawind LLC sold the property, which is fully occupied by a AA+ rated credit tenant on a long-term lease. Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT purchased the property, which is located in Alpharetta in metro Atlanta’s North Fulton submarket, in September 2014.

Tony Bartlett, Denton Shamburger and Chip Sipple of Lincoln represented the seller in a direct transaction with Carter Validus.

The data center was originally constructed in 1986 for Contel Corporation and sits on a beautiful 21-acre site in Windward Concourse Office Park. Datawind LLC purchased the property in 1992.

Tony Bartlett

Alpharetta is known as the “Technology City of the Southeast,” and the North Fulton submarket is home to one of the highest concentrations of corporate data center facilities in the region. 

The submarket’s educated labor force, fiber optic networks and abundant power supply have made this area a mecca for data centers.

“This property generated a very high level of interest in the marketplace due to the credit worthiness of the tenant, the importance of the facility and the location within the submarket,” said Bartlett, senior vice president at Lincoln who oversees the firm’s Atlanta office.

“Not only was our client pleased to complete the sale, but the buyer was able to obtain a data center possessing tremendous technical attributes with an incredibly high-credit tenant.”

Faris Lee Investments Completes $12 Million Sale of NNN-Leased, Single Tenant Retail Property Occupied by LA Fitness in Goodyear, AZ

LA Fitness,  1382 South Cotton Lane, Goodyear, AZ

  

 IRVINE, CA, Nov. 10, 2014 – Faris Lee Investments, a leading retail advisory and investment sales firm, has completed the $12 million sale of a 45,000-square-foot, single tenant, NNN-leased retail property occupied by LA Fitness in Goodyear, Ariz., a growing suburb of Phoenix. 

Matthew Mousavi

Chris Tramontano, Patrick Luther and Matthew Mousavi of Faris Lee Investments represented the seller, DTD – Devco 9, LLC, out of Scottsdale AZ. The buyer, a private family trust from Los Angeles, was represented by Republic Commercial Real Estate.

The buyer was in a 1031 exchange up-leg with a property out of California and placed a small loan on the asset to cover debt as part of its 1031 exchange. The closing cap rate was 6.8 percent.

LA Fitness is on a long-term 15-year lease with approximately 11 years remaining on its initial term.

Built in 2009, the property is located at 1382 South Cotton Lane at the signalized hard corner intersection of South Cotton Lane and West Yuma Road and near Interstate 10. The asset offers unobstructed street visibility with monument signage.

“Faris Lee highlighted the strong credit tenant with a corporate lease guarantee, and marketed primarily to private, out-of-state buyers with a particular focus on California investors,” said Mousavi.

Patrick Luther

 “Our marketing campaign generated more than 10 offers, from institutional and private investors. In this situation the private market was more aggressive than the institutional buyer pool by over 50 basis points.”

  

Tramontano added, “Faris Lee highlighted the high growth trade area that the property is located within, and overcame the objections of vacant outparcels and undeveloped land surrounding the property by focusing on tenancy and the future growth potential of the rest of the center and trade area.”

The LA Fitness property is located in a thriving area retail corridor. It is near Canyon Trails Town Center, a 435,000-square-foot power center with tenants Target, World Market, PetSmart, Fry’s, Dollar Tree, and Famous Footwear. It is the only fitness center within a three-mile radius which has a population of more than 34,000 residents.

This Phoenix-area sale marks the third transaction Faris Lee has completed over the past three months to California-based buyers totaling nearly $48 million. These sales provide testimony to the trend that California capital is seeking opportunities in growing markets in nearby states such as Arizona.

The firm announced the $22 million sale of Watson Marketplace, a fully leased, 90,000-square-foot retail center located in Buckeye, Ariz., to a San Diego buyer in September. Last month, Faris Lee completed the $13.7 million sale of a multi-tenant retail property fully occupied by LA Fitness, OfficeMax, Carter’s, and Styles for Less in Peoria. 

Chris Tramontano

“The California market continues to be highly competitive. Cap rates are already compressed to historical lows, and there are many who believe they have room to compress further,” said Richard Chichester, president and CEO of Faris Lee Investments.

“Consequently, California investors seeking yield are increasingly attracted to out-of-state markets. Arizona is an area of particular interest for California investors because of its proximity and improving economy. In the past year we’ve placed better than 55 percent of our California capital in out-of-state investments.”

The CMBS financing that R3 Funding arranged is for a 10-year term and features a 30-year amortization. The LTV is 75 percent.

The Autumn Chase Apartment community was created to meet the unique requirements of traveling professionals temporarily assigned to the Columbus area seeking quality apartment living at attractive pricing.

  It is conveniently located so that all major corporate and medical facilities are within a short commute.

“This was a difficult transaction given the property operates like a hotel and 90+ percent of the tenants are on month to month leases,” said Mr. Potter.

“The loan was difficult to underwrite given the short term 'leases,' but R3 Funding was able to build a promising picture around the historical operating statements, the local and national businesses in the area and the top corporate accounts associated with the asset.”

HFF arranges $10.4 million financing for retail center in Tinton Falls, NJ

Jon Mikula

FLORHAM PARK, NJ – HFF announced it has arranged a $10.4 million financing for a 56,304-square-foot, free-standing A&P supermarket and Sonic Drive-in ground lease in Tinton Falls, NJ.

               HFF worked on behalf of The Hampshire Companies to secure the 10-year, fixed-rate loan through Spencer Savings Bank.  Loan proceeds were used to acquire the fee interest and refinance existing debt on the leasehold interest.  HFF originally placed the loan on the leasehold with Spencer Savings Bank in 2011.

The property is located at 994 Shrewsbury Avenue at its intersection with Route 35 in Tinton Falls, a suburban town in eastern Monmouth County, New Jersey.

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Jon Mikula, director Michael Klein and real estate analyst Michael Cerulo.

“This was a loan that Spencer Savings Bank already had on its books and was eager to keep given the strength of the sponsorship and quality of the real estate,” Klein said.  

“The transaction enabled The Hampshire Companies to extend its existing loan on the property and secure attractive long term acquisition financing on the fee interest.”
