HSA Commercial and Great Point Investors to Launch 652,000 SF Spec Industrial Development in Nashville, TN

Robert Smietana

ASHVILLE, TN — HSA Commercial Real Estate announced the firm has partnered with Boston-based Great Point Investors LLC to develop a 652,000-square-foot speculative industrial building at Commerce Farms Business Center in suburban Nashville, Tenn.

Located on 41 acres at the junction of State Route 840 and Highway 109 in Lebanon, Tenn., the distribution center will feature 32-foot clear heights, 116 truck docks, two drive-in doors and parking for 84 trailers and 257 cars.

The partnership is scheduled to break ground on the new industrial facility later this month, with delivery to tenants planned in the first quarter of 2017.

“For larger warehousing and logistics businesses requiring at least 200,000 square feet, the available inventory of well-located Class A industrial space in the Nashville market is virtually nonexistent,” said Robert Smietana, vice chairman and CEO of HSA Commercial.

“That’s why we believe the timing of this development, coupled with the modern building specifications – higher clear heights, ample truck docks and abundant trailer parking – should make the project very attractive for prospective tenants.”

$220 million sale of iconic Miami Tower closed by HFF

  

Miami Tower, Central Business District, Miami, FL

MIAMI, FL  – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the $220 million sale of Miami Tower, a 47-story, 631,672-square-foot, Class A core office tower in Miami’s central business district.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, LaSalle Investment Management’s LaSalle Income & Growth Fund V, and procured the buyer, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas.

  LaSalle owned the property since purchasing it in December, 2010, in a sale also arranged by HFF.   LaSalle installed a new lighting system as part of more broad-based tower renovation, and repositioned and leased the tower to 92 percent occupancy during its ownership period.

Designed by renowned architect, I.M. Pei, the iconic Miami Tower consists of 37 stories of office space situated above 10 stories of parking, a Metromover station and ground level retail space.

 The building is well known for its unique exterior lighting system and boasts a long-term and blue-chip diversified tenancy with firms including Carlton Fields, TotalBank, UBS Financial, Genovese Joblove, Ver Ploeg and the GSA. 

The property’s epicenter Downtown location provides an almost perfect Walk Score® of 99, and is steps away from Miami’s hottest restaurants, including Zuma, I’l Gabbiano, Komodo, Cirpriani, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, Bistro Modero and Coya. 

The property is surrounded by numerous luxury hotels, including Epic, JW Marriott Marquis, Viceroy, Hyatt Regency and Intercontinental. Downtown Miami has seen significant luxury residential development in recent years, along with a full complement of amenities, including a Whole Foods market and 18-screen Silverspot Cinema.  

Manny de Zarraga

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller included Manny de Zárraga, Hermen Rodriguez, Ike Ojala, Jorge Portela and Tracey Goo. 

“Miami Tower is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the exciting renaissance of the Miami CBD, which has been ranked as top US metro for job growth in 2015 and sixth most important city in the world for ultra-high net worth individuals” said Rodriguez.

Robert Obringer, vice president of Sumitomo Corporation of Americas Commercial Real Estate Unit, sees solid value in this latest acquisition.  “We are excited to add Miami Tower to our portfolio of commercial properties here in the U.S.,” explains Mr. Obringer. 

 “As part of our constant management of assets, we are always looking for opportunities that will maximize return on investment, and this property offers a strong upside potential for in-place cash flow and the opportunity to increase value.”

HFF arranges $6.4 million refinancing for self storage facility in Monterey, CA

  

Michael Klein

FLORHAM PARK, NJ –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has arranged a $6.4 million refinancing for Airport Road Storage, a 480-unit, 60,750-square-foot self storage facility in Monterey, California. 

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, 21st Century Storage, to place the 20-year, fixed-rate loan with Deutsche Bank.  Loan proceeds were used to refinance an existing mortgage.

Airport Road Storage is located at 1118 Airport Way adjacent to Monterey Regional Airport in Monterey, a city in the heart of the California’s Central Coast.  

The property is situated on a 36,444-square-foot site in the Monterey Peninsula Self Storage market.  Ten percent higher than the national average, this market has an average occupancy rate of 95 percent.

 The three-story self storage facility was 96 percent occupied at the time of closing and features individual door alarms for each of the 478 non-climate and two climate-controlled units in addition to video monitoring and gated access.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director Michael Klein.  The 21st Century Self Storage team was led by Clayton Gentry.

“The property is situated on a ground lease to the Monterey County Airport Authority that has only 31 years remaining,” Klein said.  “This presented a challenge for a lot of lenders, who required more term. 

“As a result, HFF was engaged to secure a long-term, self-amortizing loan that would enable the borrower to put the loan to bed for 20 years and take interest risk out of the equation.  Deutsche Bank really understood the market and property type and was able to get comfortable with the complicated ground lease structure.  They performed flawlessly.”

North American Properties Reveals Colony Square Design Team and Branding

 

Richard Metsky

ATLANTA, GA – After nearly 200 interviews and five months of seeking the community’s input, North American Properties (NAP) and local branding firm Imbibe have landed on one word that summarizes its findings and the future for Colony Square: Urbane.

Defined as “having the polish and suavity regarded as characteristic of sophisticated social life in major cities,” urbane serves as the inspiration behind the development’s new branding, logo and design. 

To bring its vision to life, NAP enlisted New York City-based Beyer Blinder Belle in collaboration with Atlanta-based Lord Aeck Sargent as the architectural design team.

“The renewal of Colony Square represents an extraordinary opportunity to create a charismatic and welcoming public place at the heart of a growing neighborhood, on the corner of ‘Main and Main’ Atlanta,” said Richard Metsky, partner at Beyer Blinder Belle. “The design concept supports the ongoing transformation of Midtown into a vibrant commercial, retail, residential and cultural district.”
