Starbucks, Ripon, CA

Bill Asher
RIPON, CA and  PARADISE, CA – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, announced the firm has completed the sale of two new construction, single-tenant, triple-net-leased corporate Starbucks in separate transactions in Northern California.

In the city of Ripon in the middle of California’s Central Valley, Hanley Investment Group Executive Vice President Bill Asher and Vice President Jeff Lefko represented the seller in the sale of a brand-new single-tenant Starbucks with a drive-thru for $2,748,500, representing a cap rate of 4.55 percent and $1,773 per square foot.

Jeff Lefko
Built in 2018, the new 1,550-square-foot drive-thru property is located on 0.36 acres at 338 E. Main Street, immediately adjacent to the State Route 99 freeway on/off ramps at Main Street in Ripon.

According to Asher, the property benefits from excellent access, a freeway-visible 65-foot pylon sign and approximately 116,000 cars per day at SR-99 freeway’s Main Street exit. SR-99 is the major north/south arterial through California’s Central Valley.

Steve Zakula
“Over 80 percent of all Ripon commuters drive alone with an average commute time of approximately 28 minutes, making the new Starbucks drive-thru on Main Street and Highway 99 an ideal stop for area residents and daily commuters,” noted Asher.

 “The property also benefits from affluent demographics with an average household income of nearly $98,000 within a three-mile radius and its close proximity to Ripon City Hall, Ripon Public Library, Ripon High School (900 students), Ripon Christian School (640 students) and Ripon Elementary School (400 students).”

The seller, who was represented by Asher and Lefko, was a private developer based in Glendale, California. The buyer, a private investor based in Northern California, was represented by Steve Zakula of Pacific Union International Inc. in San Francisco.

According to Asher, Hanley Investment Group procured an all-cash 1031 exchange buyer and closed escrow at 99 percent of the list price.

The property closed at 99 percent of the list price.

The seller, who was represented by Asher and Lefko, was a private investor based in Los Angeles. The buyer, a private investor based in Sonoma, California, was represented by Harry Dematatis of CBRE.

Built in 2018, the new 2,482-square-foot drive-thru property is located on 1.21 acres at 6344 Skyway Road, a major east/west thoroughfare in Paradise, the second largest city in the fast-growing and established Chico Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

The city of Paradise has a population of approximately 27,000 residents. The Chico MSA, which has a total population of over 229,000 people, has grown by more than 20 percent over the last 15 years.

Starbucks, Paradise, CA

“The site housed a coffee use for over 15 years before Starbucks entered the market,” said Asher. “The property is the only Starbucks in an 11-mile radius and is the first Starbucks to open in Paradise.”

Both of the Starbucks locations have a cafĂ© with a drive-thru format, said Asher. “Approximately 60-70 percent of all business for quick-service restaurants come through the drive-thru in today’s market and average Starbucks store sales are approximately 50 percent greater in locations that have a drive-thru,” Asher noted.

WPM Building, 40 and 46 NE First Avenue,

 Miami, FL ––Trez Forman Capital Group has closed on a $4.1 million loan for the buyer of the “First & First” mixed-use building in downtown Miami.

Brett Forman
The Boynton Beach-based private lender is on pace to complete more than $500 million in 2018 transactions.

The “First & First” loan is Trez Forman’s first in Miami-Dade County this year, although the company has been actively lending throughout South Florida.

Located at 40 and 46 NE First Ave., the site includes eight-story and three-story structures with a combined 22,490 square feet. The structures were originally constructed in 1906 and 1915.

Trez Forman President and CEO Brett Forman arranged the transaction, which closed on Aug. 1, 2018. 

The borrower, which has an existing relationship with Trez Forman through Dan Rosenberg of Cohen Financial, plans to focus on leasing the available space to various office tenants. An existing restaurant occupies one of the ground-floor retail spaces.

“We were particularly attracted to the prime location of this unique and recognizable mixed-use site,” Forman said. “We continue to look for strategic opportunities to fund acquisition and construction loans in the tri-county area.”

Daniel E. Rosenberg
Trez Forman is a joint venture formed in 2016 by Boynton Beach-based Forman Capital and Vancouver-based Trez Capital Group - one of Canada’s largest private commercial mortgage lenders.

The venture provides commercial bridge loans for development and construction and senior stretch financing starting at $5 million. It also offers private and institutional investors equity investment opportunities in a variety of funds and assets.

CHICAGO, IL — Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate and New York-based Clarion Partners LLC  jointly announced the start of construction on Heartland Corporate Center, a state-of-the-art 757,880-square-foot warehouse located on a 46-acre land site near the I-55 and I-80 interchange in Shorewood, Ill.

Robert E. Smietana
The new distribution center is being developed on a speculative basis and will feature 36-foot clear heights, 108 truck docks and 240 parking spaces for employees and visitors. Site work is already underway with tenant occupancy planned for early 2019.

The 46-acre development site, which was recently annexed by the village of Shorewood as part of the project’s entitlement process, is accessible and visible from both I-55 and I-80.

 Given the area’s vital importance as a national logistics and distribution hub, the I-55 industrial real estate submarket has experienced the largest number of new warehouse developments in the Chicagoland area.

“Despite the unprecedented growth and development in the I-55 corridor over the last couple years, absorption and demand have remained extremely strong, which speaks to the strategic value of the market for large warehousing and logistics firms,” said Robert Smietana, vice chairman and CEO with HSA Commercial Real Estate.

David Bercu
“We feel very confident about a quick lease-up based on the interest we have experienced thus far for Heartland Corporate Center, which is the single largest warehouse building we have developed in our company’s history.”

Rosemont, Ill.-based Meridian Design Build is the general contractor for the development, and David Bercu and Matthew Stauber of Colliers are responsible for project leasing.

Founded in 1981, Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate is a diversified, full-service real estate firm specializing in office, industrial, retail and health care real estate leasing, management, marketing, development and financing on a national basis.
