Ted Hill

CHARLOTTE, NC –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of and secured $10.65 million in acquisition financing for Irmo Station, a 99,384-square-foot, Kroger-anchored, dominant neighborhood retail center in the Columbia-area community of Irmo, South Carolina.

HFF marketed the property for the seller, Retail Properties of America, Inc. (RPAI).  New Market Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS), purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt. 

Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, HFF placed the 13-year, fixed-rate, 3.94-percent, non-recourse loan with Nationwide Life Insurance Company.

Located at 7467 St. Andrews Road in Irmo, Irmo Station is situated northwest of Columbia in an infill location on the “going home” side of the road in the main retail node of the Columbia MSA, which is the largest city in South Carolina. 

The center is located one mile off Interstate 26, the main highway connecting Greenville to Charleston through Columbia.  More than 42,000 residents earning an average annual household income of $82,000 live within three miles of the center.

Mike Allison

In addition to Kroger, the 92-percent-leased Irmo Station is home to Pet Supplies Plus, Super Cuts, Firehouse Subs, Kroger Fuel, Pizza Hut, Kobe Express, Palm Beach Tan and more.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by director Thomas Kolarczyk, senior managing director Richard Reid, senior associate Ted Hill and associate Mike Allison.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrowers was led by senior managing director Ed Coco and associate Matt Casey.

“Irmo Station represented a rare opportunity to acquire a high-performing, Kroger-anchored shopping center with limited grocer competition and value-add potential,” Kolarczyk said. “Well-located grocery-anchored real estate with strong fundamentals continues to garner significant investor interest and a yield premium.”

Bull Realty Arranges $5.3 Million Land Sale in Atlanta, GA

Andy Lundsberg

ATLANTA, GA (Sept. 5, 2017) —Bull Realty arranged the sale of a 1-acre tract of land in Atlanta, GA. The sale closed on August 18 for $5,300,000.

Bull Realty’s Andy Lundsberg and Gene Kansas of Gene Kansas Developments, LLC worked together to represent the seller, Steve Nygren of PP, LLC. Nygren is the master developer of Serenbe.

The property, 489-495 Peachtree Street & 496 Courtland Street, located in between Midtown and Downtown across from Emory University Hospital, is a buy and hold for a future redevelopment.

The buyer was SoNo on Peachtree, LLC. The name “SoNo,” short for South of North Avenue, refers to the area where the property is located, and is part of an initiative by Central Atlanta Progress.

The impetus for the sale was the closing of the Peachtree Pine homeless shelter located next door at the corner of Peachtree and Pine, said Lundsberg. With the closing of the shelter, Curbed said Atlanta developers are salivating over parcels in the nearby vicinity.

The site is considered a prime redevelopment opportunity with 6 parcels and 3 buildings totaling 49,000 SF, which are currently 60% occupied. Ocean Catering Company has occupied space since 2011, according to CoStar. Other tenants include The City Café and Bar, Peachtree Barber Shop. In addition, parking on the Courtland Street side is used for the nearby Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse.
