Colin Gillis

ORLANDO, FL – Passco Companies, LLC has acquired The Ivy, a 248-unit, Class A+ newly constructed multifamily community located in Florida Hospital Health Village in Orlando, home to the second largest hospital in the nation, for $53.5 million.

“The Orlando market is currently undergoing tremendous growth,” says Colin Gillis, Vice President of Acquisitions, Southeast for Passco Companies. “According to a recent report by the U.S. Department of Labor, Orlando created more jobs than any other metropolitan area in the nation in 2015, ranking first for employment gains and second for population growth.”

Gillis explains, “This rapid job creation, especially in the healthcare sector, coupled with the huge immigration of workers will continue to drive demand for multifamily housing in the area, making this a strong addition to our existing portfolio.”

Situated along the I-4 Corridor, this transit-oriented property benefits from its prime location near major employment centers and is the only multifamily property within Florida Hospital’s Health Village, which is home to more than 10,000 high-quality healthcare jobs. 

The rapidly-expanding employment base within The Health Village is all right at the front-door of The Ivy.  In addition to serving the local community of healthcare workers, The Ivy also offers convenient access to commuter transit options and jobs throughout the Orlando metro. 

Shelton Granade

The Ivy is within a 5-minute walk of one of four downtown stops for Orlando’s 62-mile Sun Rail project making all of Orlando highly accessible from the Property without the need of a vehicle.

“Nowhere are we seeing more progressive and innovative development than in Orlando, Florida,” continues Gillis. 

“The City of Orlando recently invested nearly $8 billion in infrastructure and transportation projects, inclusive of the Sun Rail commuter line and an expansion of the I-4. 

"The Ivy’s location in close proximity to these major transit systems will drive demand for the property, providing an opportunity to deliver stabilized yields to our investors.”

Constructed in 2015, The Ivy features luxury amenities including multi-level pool decks with a resort-style swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and yoga studio. The apartment community also offers immediate access to trendy downtown areas including upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

The Ivy is located at 2650 Dade Avenue in Orlando, Florida. Shelton Granade, Vice Chairman at CBRE represented Passco and the seller.

Chris Black of KeyBank Real Estate Capital’s Commercial Mortgage Group arranged acquisition financing for Passco Companies through Fannie Mae.

Working on behalf of the borrower, Blue Star Properties and the Wolcott Group LLC, HFF arranged floating-rate financing with Brookfield Real Estate Financial Partners and Bank of the Ozarks.  Loan proceeds were used to payoff existing financing, complete building renovations and fund leasing capital for the project.

Originally built in 1907 by Daniel Burnham as the Commercial National Bank Building of Chicago, 125 S. Clark is currently undergoing a renovation and rebranding to The National. 

The 20-story, steel and concrete building will feature lofted office space; an outdoor terrace; a one-of-a-kind, main level artisanal marketplace and lounge; record shop and fitness center.  The office space will offer tenants 12-14’ ceilings, fully operable single-hung windows and expansive floor plates.

Ryan Clutter

CHARLOTTE, NC –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) and Spectrum Properties announced they have closed the sale of the Morrison and Roxborough Buildings, two premier, multi-tenant office buildings totaling 178,338 square feet in Charlotte, North Carolina.   

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Lionstone Investments.  The property was purchased by a joint venture partnership between Spectrum Properties and Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation.

The Morrison and Roxborough Buildings are located at 6525 Morrison Boulevard and 1901 Roxborough Road, directly across from the Southpark Mall in the SouthPark submarket of Charlotte. 

This location is convenient to Charlotte’s central business district, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and area thoroughfares including Interstates 77, 85 and 485.  The four- and five-story properties are 95% leased to tenants including Velocity and South State Bank.

Scot Humphrey

“Morrison and Roxborough are two exceptionally well-located office buildings in the heart of SouthPark, one of Charlotte’s most dynamic submarkets.  These buildings attracted considerable interest from the investment community as they have a long history of out-performing their competition and achieving strong rents,” commented Clutter. 

“There is a tremendous amount of ‘value-add’ capital in the marketplace seeking opportunities to push rents through building improvements or proactive leasing strategies.  We continue to see this segment of the market aggressively pursue our well located Carolinas offerings and we believe this trend will continue for the foreseeable future,” added Clutter.

“This acquisition gives Intercontinental the opportunity to capitalize on the strong Charlotte market. We are fortunate to have partnered with Spectrum Properties and appreciate the excellent services of HFF.  We look forward to more excellent investments on behalf of Intercontinental’s investors,” commented Peter Palandjian, chairman and CEO of Intercontinental.

“We are excited about adding these two great office assets in SouthPark to our Charlotte portfolio. We are fortunate to again partner with Intercontinental on this investment,” commented John Boylan, president of Spectrum Properties.

L-R: Max Stamos VP of Management, Michael Luzier President & CEO of  Home Innovation Research Labs, Christina Webb VP of Development, Joel Altman Chairman/ CEO, Jeff Roberts President/ COO, Kyle M. Abney Abney + Abney Green Solutions

ORLANDO, FL – The Altman Companies has a lot to celebrate in Orlando. It just finished up construction on the 315-unit Altís Sand Lake in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood.

 A ceremony was held Wednesday, April 13 at Altís Sand Lake and at the same time, the company was awarded the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Green Certification by Michael Luzier, president and CEO of Home Innovation Research Labs.  

Joel Altman

Altís Sand Lake is the largest NGBS Green Certified multifamily community in Orlando, in terms of number of certified buildings. The development has 13 separate buildings.

The NGBS is an ANSI-approved national rating system used to gauge the performance of residential construction based on six key categories: energy efficiency; water efficiency; resource efficiency; lot development; operation and maintenance; and indoor air quality.

NGBS Green Certification is provided by Home Innovation Research Labs, an accredited third-party testing and certification agency and an independent subsidiary of the National Association of Home Builders.

“We are very proud that our company has achieved its first NGBS Green Certification,” said Joel Altman, chairman of The Altman Companies. “We at Altman are committed to see that our residents have an Exceptional Living Experience, and we are also environmentally conscious and care about a sustainable lifestyle. At Altís Sand Lake, we are able to give our residents both.”

“Attaining our third-party ‘seal of approval’ allows quality-minded builders like The Altman Companies to distinguish their properties from the competition,” according to Luzier.

 “Earning NGBS Green Certification means going beyond what’s simply required by code, to provide consumers with a better place to call home – an energy cost-saving, healthier, and more comfortable place to live. I applaud Altman for making this commitment at Altís Sand Lake for the benefit of its renters and the larger community.” 

Altís Sand Lake is located at 7118 Altís Way.

Michael Nachmkin

FLORHAM PARK, NJ –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the $7.8 million sale of the 5.12-acre land tract adjacent to John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in the New York City borough of Queens, New York.

HFF marketed the site on behalf of the sellers, Philips International and Rhodes NY.  Gabrielli Truck Sales Ltd. (Gabrielli) purchased the site.

The project required various state and local approvals from the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.  Gabrielli plans to construct a facility for their use on the site.

JFK International Airport is one of the leading international air cargo centers in the world and home to 18 cargo-only freight carriers, including American Airlines, FedEx, Delta Airlines and China Airlines.

 The site is located at 181-25 Eastern Road in Jamaica, Queens, which is in the Queens County industrial submarket and proximate to both the Belt Parkway and Interstate 678 (JFK Expressway) leading into Manhattan.

 Construction will begin on the industrial development this year.  Prior to this development, there have been few industrial/commercial developments within a three-mile radius of the airport within 30 years. 

Evan Pariser

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by managing director Michael Nachamkin and senior managing director Evan Pariser.

“We were extremely happy with the outcome for both the buyer and seller,” Nachamkin said.  “The purchaser worked extremely hard along with their counsel to obtain all the approvals necessary to develop the site for their needs.”
