HOUSTON, TX, June 29, 2015 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has closed the sale of and secured acquisition financing for 8787 Wallisville Road, a single-tenant, 126,821-square-foot industrial distribution facility 100 percent leased to Briggs Equipment in northeast Houston, Texas.

HFF arranged the sale of the property on behalf of the seller, Twinrose Investments.  TMT Wallisville Investments, LLP purchased the asset for an undisclosed amount. 

Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, HFF arranged the 10-year, fixed-rate acquisition loan through Deutsche Bank and will service the securitized loan.

Located at 8787 Wallisville Road, the building has been occupied by Briggs Equipment, one of the oldest materials handling equipment producers in the U.S., via an absolute net lease since the building was completed in 1975. 

Renovated in 1995 and again in 2006, the facility has 28’ clear heights and 24 exterior doors, including 10 truck wells.  One third of the building has office finish in the mezzanine level, and there are 142 parking spaces.
