 CHICAGO, IL, March 14, 2017 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has arranged financing for the acquisition of Le Chateau and the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, a mixed-use hotel, office and outparcel asset totaling 325,000 square feet in the St. Louis-area community of Frontenac, Missouri.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Bucksbaum Retail Properties, to place the four-year, fixed-rate loan with Ladder Capital.  

Dan Kaufman

The 92.2-percent-leased asset comprises the 263-room Hilton St. Louis Frontenac, the Le Chateau 80,000-square-foot office building, a 7,132-square-foot Triad Bank outparcel lease and two Wells Fargo ground leases that total 60,078 square feet. 

The Hilton St. Louis Frontenac features 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, a state-of-the-art fitness center, seasonal outdoor pool, 24/7 business center and full-service restaurant located at 1335 South Lindbergh Boulevard.

 Completed in 1974, the hotel has undergone renovations throughout the years.  The most recent renovations between 2012 and 2016 included enhancements and upgrades to the common areas and guest rooms.

 Le Chateau, which is famous for its open-cage elevator with intricate metal work, contains offices, retail space, a health club, restaurant, catering company and beauty salons.

  Located at 10403 Clayton Road, the building’s French village-style atmosphere is aided by 100-year-old bricks recovered from an abandoned local brewery that are part of the building’s exterior and a grand, open-air atrium detailed with railing made from genuine, hand-wrought Belgium iron. The Wells Fargo ground leases consist of 10401 and 10369 Clayton Road.

The property is situated on a total of 16.5 acres bound by Interstate 64, South Lindbergh Boulevard and Clayton Road in Frontenac, approximately 10 miles from both downtown St. Louis and Lambert – St. Louis International Airport.  The property is also immediately adjacent to Plaza Frontenac, a luxury shopping center anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. 

Jeff Bucaro

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director Danny Kaufman and director Jeff Bucaro.

“We were thrilled to work with the team at Bucksbaum Retail Properties to secure this financing,” Kaufman said.  “Le Chateau is a landmark asset in St. Louis.  It will clearly continue to thrive and transform under Bucksbaum’s leadership.”

“The lending team at Ladder Capital performed flawlessly and really stepped up to support the acquisition process,” Bucaro added.

Capital Square 1031 Completes Two Medical Office DST/1031 Exchange Offerings in Alabama and North Carolina

Louis Rogers

RICHMOND, Va. (March 14, 2017) – Capital Square 1031 announced today that its Delaware statutory trust offerings, CS1031 Birmingham MOB, DST and CS1031 Kinston MOB, DST, each comprised of a medical office building occupied by affiliates of Fresenius Medical Care in Alabama and North Carolina, respectively, have been fully subscribed by investors.

Capital Square 1031 has closed 32 DST offerings since its founding in late 2012.

“Each of these offerings include real estate occupied by the world’s leading provider of dialysis services and products for people with chronic kidney failure, which has 2,249 dialysis clinics across North America,” said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer of Capital Square 1031.

“Dialysis is the life-saving process for artificially cleaning blood for patients with chronic kidney disease. The properties are well-located near doctor’s offices and hospitals, providing convenient access to patients, their caregivers and healthcare providers.

“We are pleased to complete these offerings and provide a growing number of investors with ownership of investment-grade, recession resistant real estate.”

CS1031 Birmingham MOB, DST acquired a newly-constructed, 8,140-square-foot medical office building that was built-to-suit for Fresenius Medical Care. Located at 3671 Roosevelt Blvd. in Birmingham, Alabama, the property is leased on a net basis for a base term of 15 years, plus extensions. Capital Square leveraged the property for exchange investors who need debt to obtain complete deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

CS1031 Kinston MOB, DST acquired a 10,880-square-foot medical office building located at 604 Airport Road in Kinston, North Carolina, a Certificate of Need state. The clinic, which is one of the company’s largest dialysis clinics in North Carolina, is a flagship location for Fresenius.  Capital Square acquired the property in an all-cash (no debt) purchase for exchange investors who do not need debt to obtain deferral under Section 1031. 

“A growing number of exchange investors are seeking an all-cash, no debt, replacement property,” said Rogers.  “An ‘all-cash’ replacement property was almost unheard of five years ago.”
