Jennifer Athas

SAUGUS, MA – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of a 24-hour CVS/pharmacy located approximately 13 miles north of Boston in Saugus, Mass.

The $11,340,500 sales price equates to $879 per square foot.

            Laurie Ann “LA” Drinkwater, vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Boston, Mass. and New Haven, Conn. offices, along with Seth Richard in the firm’s Manhattan office, represented the seller, a national net-lease investor.

Steven Siegel in Marcus & Millichap’s Manhattan office represented the buyer. Jennifer Athas, senior associate in Boston, is the firm’s broker of record in Massachusetts.

            “The new owner took advantage of an excellent opportunity to acquire a strategically developed CVS drugstore on a long-term double-net lease with increases,” says Siegel.

“This Route 1 corridor location north of Boston has some the highest traffic counts in the region,” adds Drinkwater.

“The site was originally acquired with redevelopment in mind. 

The three-tenant building that formerly occupied the property was demolished and three new buildings were constructed, each on its own tax parcel.”

“New development in this submarket is challenging as the rocky topography makes site work costly and municipal approvals for development are not easily obtained,” Richard concludes.

           

 The freestanding drugstore is located on the southbound side of Route 1 near the Main Street interchange at 1075 Broadway St. in Saugus. 

More than 115,000 vehicles per day pass the site. The property shares cross easements with a 22,500-square-foot JoAnn Fabrics store, a freestanding Bank of America branch and a 6,100-square-foot building occupied by North Shore Medical.

There are attached condos and apartments to the immediate rear of the site. Square One Mall, a 650,000-square-foot regional mall anchored by Filene’s, Filene’s Basement, Best Buy, Sears and Gold’s Gym is nearby.

The 24-hour CVS /pharmacy was built on 1.27 acres in 2008.

IPA Capital Markets Arranges $17.2 Million Multifamily Acquisition Loan in Atlanta, GA

Anita Paryani

Atlanta, GA – Institutional Property Advisors Capital Markets (IPACM), a leading provider of debt and equity placements and advisory solutions for major investors, has arranged $17,200,000 in financing for the purchase of a 153-unit high-rise apartment building in Atlanta.

            Jake Roberts and Anita Paryani, both first vice presidents capital markets in IPACM’s West Los Angeles office, structured the debt.

            “We closed the loan in just 30 days from start to finish,” says Roberts, “and the financing includes seven years of interest-only payments at a full debt service coverage ratio.”

“As always, our goal is to add value for clients in every way possible, and in addition to finding the most aggressive debt and closing quickly, we were called upon to negotiate the asset’s insurable value down by over $20 million as the appraisals’ insurable value came in quite high, which significantly impacted insurance costs until we solved the problem,” adds Paryani.

The loan is structured with a 12-year fixed term, amortized over 30 years after a seven-year interest-only period with a fixed interest rate of 4.04 percent. The loan to value is 56 percent.

$7.6 Million Bridge Loan in Hatfield, PA Arranged by Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp.

  

Matthew Rosenberg

 HATFIELD, PA – Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. (MMCC), a leading provider of commercial real estate financing and capital markets expertise, has arranged $7,659,300 in bridge financing for a mixed-use development project in Hatfield, Pa.

Matthew Rosenberg, associate director in MMCC’s Philadelphia office, arranged the financing.

“Our client needed to fund site improvements that would add significant value to the property, but the existing lender was unwilling to increase their loan amount,” says Rosenberg.

“We analyzed the client’s needs and MMCC identified a regional lender that provided a bridge- to-perm loan that would both replace the existing mortgage and provide the owner with additional proceeds. 

"We arranged 18 months of interest-only financing through the construction phase. After that, the loan converts to a permanent loan,” Rosenberg concludes.

The loan was structured with an 18-month initial term, an 18-month extension and an interest rate of 4.25 percent. The LTV is 65 percent.
