PORTLAND, OR – Jan. 18, 2018 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the sale of 220 NW Second Avenue, a 238,751-square-foot, value-add, transit-oriented office tower in the north end of Portland’s CBD.

The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Menlo Equities. An institutional investor, advised by local development partner Specht Development, Inc., purchased the asset.

Michael Leggett

220 NW Second offers unmatched connectivity to public transit and sweeping views of the Portland skyline across large contiguous floor plates. The building has served as NW Natural’s headquarters since construction.

 With NW Natural’s relocation to 250 Taylor, the new ownership will have the opportunity to reposition 220 NW Second by modernizing the lobby, adding first-floor shared tenant amenities and activating existing retail spaces. 

The HFF investment advisory team included director Logan Greer, senior managing director and co-head of HFF’s national office investment advisory platform Michael Leggett, senior managing director Gerry Rohm, senior director Ben Bullock, director Dave Otis and analysts Jeff Hodson and Kevin Freels.

 “We continue to see value-add opportunities price aggressively across the Pacific Northwest,” Greer said. “Within the close-end fund space, an immense amount of value-add capital has accumulated and, with few opportunities in the market, we do not expect the pent-up demand for value-add product to decline anytime soon.”

 Founded in 1994 by Henry Bullock and Rick Holmstrom and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Menlo Equities is a vertically integrated commercial real estate company engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of properties in select technology markets.

HFF closes sale and arranges joint venture for development of 104,500 SF Mission Viejo Medical Center in Southern California

                         Mission Viejo Medical Center, Mission Viejo, CA

SAN DIEGO, CA – Jan. 17, 2018 – HFF announces that it has closed the partial interest forward sale and arranged the full capital stack of joint venture equity and financing for the construction of the ground up development of Mission Viejo Medical Center, a fully-approved, 104,500-square-foot, Class A medical office building situated on the southeast parking field of the Shops at Mission Viejo, a Simon-owned super regional mall, and just steps from the main entrance of Providence St. Joseph’s 523-bed Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California. 

Aldon Cole

The HFF team served as an advisor to the seller, NCA Real Estate, a Newport Beach, California-based developer, in order to explore strategic options including construction financing, joint venture equity partnerships and a forward sale. 

Ultimately, Welltower, Inc. (NYSE: HCN) agreed to purchase the developer’s interest and also provide equity and debt capital to the new partnership.

“The HFF team has been a valuable advisor to NCA as the project has evolved over the past several years, and the insights and advice they provided were critical in the successful capitalization of the project,” said David Zak, managing partner of NCA.

Mission Viejo Medical Center (“MVMC”) was conceptualized by NCA more than eight years ago when it commenced negotiations to acquire the mall site.  NCA recognized the synergies between retail and medical office projects and focused on an underutilized part of the mall. 

Olga Walsh

It is anticipated that the new project will bring substantial economic benefit to the mall from the patients and employees that will be brought to the mall each day and the mall will serve as a strong amenity to the project. 

NCA’s development team, led by Dana Whitmer, overcame numerous obstacles to close on the site and gain the necessary entitlements to construct the project, and the finished product will be well worth the effort.

Evan Kovac

MVMC will be the first on-campus medical office building constructed in South Orange County in over 10 years.  Upon completion in 2019, MVMC will be completely occupied by Mission Hospital and will include a comprehensive cancer center, medical imaging suite, endoscopy center and other significant outpatient services. 

 Designed from the ground up to be a best-in-class facility, MVMC is at the front door of the region’s pre-eminent hospital and ideally situated to serve a rapidly growing population. 

The building’s functional design was guided by HGA Architects and Engineers and emphasizes flexibility and efficiency.  The project is being constructed by Snyder Langston who has been an invaluable resource to NCA throughout the design and engineering process.

The HFF medical office investment advisory team representing the seller consisted of managing director Evan Kovac, director Andrew Milne and senior associate Trent Jemmett. 

The HFF debt placement team included senior director Zach Koucos, senior associate Olga Walsh and senior managing director Aldon Cole. 

“NCA and Welltower worked diligently throughout the complicated process, often under compressed timeframes, to see this deal come to fruition.  Once completed, MVMC will be one of the pre-eminent on-campus MOBs in the United States,” Kovac said.
