Taco Bell, a 1,814-square foot net-leased property at 12851 South Cleveland Avenue, Fort Myers, FL

FORT MYERS, FL  –  Medefind Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, has announced the sale of Taco Bell, an 1,814-square foot net-leased property located in Fort Myers, Fla., according to Chris Travis, sales manager of the firm’s Tampa office. The asset sold for $2,260,000.
Jim Shiebler
Jim Shiebler, James Garner and James Medefind, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a private investor.  

 The buyer, a private investor, was secured and represented by the same brokers.

“We achieved a record price of $1,246 per ft. by generating multiple offers through exposing the asset to thousands of U.S. and International investors," stated Mr. Shiebler.

  "This is another example of Medefind Retail team’s second to none commitment to the seller to identify and locate buyers by farming, sourcing and calling investors utilizing proven methodical strategies. 
James Garner
"The ultimate buyer was attracted to the A+ location, the storied history of the site as one of the first Taco Bell’s built in all of Southwest Florida and the proven and successful franchisee."

Taco Bell is located at 12851 South Cleveland Avenue in Fort Myers, Fla. Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present Taco Bell Ft. Myers, a truly rare investment opportunity for an investor to purchase a truly iconic brand and highly coveted nationally recognized Quick Service Restaurant property in a burgeoning market.

  This property has been successfully operating at this location since 1987 and is just the second Taco Bell to be built in Ft. Myers. This A+, high barrier to entry location has a variety of phenomenal core real estate drivers that ensure future appreciation and stability of the location.

James Medefind
            The property is ideally located on busy Cleveland Avenue (U.S. Highway 41), just two parcels from the intersection of College Parkway, with multiple points of ingress/egress and a combined daily traffic count of more than 94,000 cars. 

 Cleveland Avenue (U.S. Highway 41) and College Parkway are the two most trafficked arteries in all of Southwest Florida. Since College Parkway is one of only two bridges that connect Fort Myers to Cape Coral, the subject property benefits immensely from its close proximity to this high-profile intersection.

Candlewood Suites Hotel
 NEW YORK, October 22, 2019 - A partnership between Three Wall Capital and Guggenheim Investments, the global asset management and investment advisory business of Guggenheim Partners, completed the acquisition of an 18-asset extended stay hotel portfolio. 

Clients managed by Guggenheim Investments also provided the mortgage debt for the portfolio acquisition.

The national portfolio includes hotels located in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia, and the assets are affiliated with brands in the Hilton, IHG, and Choice systems. 

Alan Kanders
The hotels are all well positioned in their respective markets and are proximate to dense retail corridors, office parks, hospitals, airports, residential communities, and major highway systems.

The acquisition will build on Three Wall’s rapidly expanding portfolio and aligns well with the firm’s extended stay focus. 

Alan Kanders, Managing Member and Founder of Three Wall Capital, remarked, “The portfolio’s geographic diversity, high-quality physical product, strong in-place cash flow, and valuable real estate made it an all-around attractive investment opportunity for us.” 

The portfolio includes assets flagged as Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites, Suburban Extended Stay, Mainstay Suites, and Sleep Inn. 

 New long-term franchise agreements were secured from all brands. “This acquisition complements our existing portfolio and aligns with our goals for future growth,” Mr. Kanders explained. Three Wall’s portfolio consists of 54 hotels following the close of this acquisition, 46 of which represent extended stay hotels.

Aimbridge Hospitality, the nation’s largest independent hotel management firm, has been retained as the operator, further strengthening their strategic partnership with Three Wall Capital.

The JLL Capital Markets team* led by Managing Director Chris Dewey represented the seller in the transaction.

 Chris Dewey
“This diverse portfolio, consisting of extended stay hotels across multiple class segments, provides significant in-place cash flow in strong southeastern growth markets,” Dewey said. 

 “The hotels have been recently renovated positioning the portfolio to continue capturing more than its fair share of room night demand in markets that continue to expand.” 

About Three Wall Capital

Founded in 2008 by Alan Kanders, Three Wall Capital has completed over $1.0 billion in transactions in a principal investor capacity since inception. 

 TWC invests with the philosophy that hotel real estate is subject to both short and long term cycles, and therefore, opportunistically invests in product type ranging from limited service to luxury hotels.
