PHOENIX, AZ – For the second year in a row, Lincoln Property Company (LPC) Desert West has earned a regional “The Outstanding Building of the Year” (TOBY) award from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).

The TOBY awards are presented by BOMA and are the industry’s most prestigious honor for excellence in building quality and management.

The six-story Class A ADEQ office building is located at 1110 W. Washington St. in Phoenix. It is certified LEED Silver and houses 12 state agencies. LPC has provided third-party management services for the project since 2009.

“This building has a great history with LPC,” said said Lincoln Property Company’s Executive Vice President David Krumwiede. “Several of us were involved with the original development and management of the building, when it was delivered in 2002.

“Other team members have been actively managing the building for many years. We value this long-standing relationship and appreciate the trust that ADEQ continues to place in us to keep their property at optimal quality and efficiency.“

In addition to managing projects in its ownership portfolio, LPC Desert West also provides award-winning third party property management services. Across the Desert West region, this includes more 6 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space.

“Our mantra is that we manage like owners because we are owners, and that truly is the case,” said Lincoln Property Company’s Associate Director of Management Services Megan Watkins.

At the ADEQ building, LPC maintains open lines of communication with tenants and monitors its progress through regular surveys, the most recent of which earned a 100 percent tenant satisfaction rate. 

LPC also works with ADEQ to give back to the community through local events and hiring practices, such as through the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center.

Amenities at the ADEQ building include a two-story atrium, grand staircase and on-site café. Low-water desert landscaping uses only reclaimed water from the building cooling towers.

 Interiors are designed to maximize indirect lighting, with motion sensor controls and automatic dimmers on all lights within 15 feet of exterior windows. Also included are automatic low water flush valves and touch-free bathrooms.

NEW YORK, NY -- Winter & Company has arranged and closed a $63,500,000, interest-only leasehold mortgage for a unique, 600,000+ square foot asset, originally designed and built for a single, high-tech corporation, which is located on Connecticut Avenue in the Van Ness neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

The new loan, which is subject to a long-term ground lease on the 7.8 acre park-like property, closed in August 2016, and includes a substantial interest and carry reserve as well as reserves to fund TI and LC.

The owner and developer is a pre-eminent U.S. firm specializing in re-imagining, re-developing and re-leasing very large office properties ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of square feet across the country. Over the past 15 years they have become one of America’s leading private real estate acquisition, ownership, development and management firms.

Gregg Winter

The loan, which refinanced an existing acquisition loan, was structured with limited, top-loss recourse, which will sunset once the anticipated sale of a portion of the site closes.

Winter & Company is a Manhattan-based, commercial mortgage advisory firm that specializes in arranging development and construction financing as well as financing for multifamily, and mixed-use properties since 1989.

Its affiliate, W Financial Fund, LP is a direct private bridge lender providing short-term, special situation financing primarily for NYC multifamily and mixed-use properties since 2003.

PARSIPPANY, NJ – The upper-midscale Wyndham Garden® brand is shedding light on its first global hotel prototype, designed to make travel easier and more carefree while delivering greater returns for hotel owners through operating efficiencies.

The new offering surpasses the segment, creating an upscale experience by incorporating modern architecture, functional design and an all-day inclusive culinary concept.

“Travelers deserve respites along with amenities that provide added convenience and comfort. With this philosophy steering the brand in all that we do, we’ve developed a serene environment with purposeful design choices, a lens on the details and meaningful offerings to make our guests’ travels as easy and stress-free as possible.”

Nine prototypical hotels are already under development in markets like Winter Haven and Orlando, Fla; Edinburg, Texas; and South Bend, Ind. The first is expected to open in mid-2017 in Bridgeport, W.V.
