Lee & Associates Pasadena Closes 17,000-SF Lease with Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in Arcadia, CA

Jodi Shoemake 
 

 ARCADIA, CA, Nov. 30, 2020   – Grocery Outlet, a publicly traded company which is recognized as one of our nation’s largest value-oriented grocery chains has signed a 17,000 sq. ft. lease at The Shoppes @ Highlander Center located at 165 E Foothill Blvd. in Arcadia, California, formerly occupied by Rite Aid.

Carol Springstead

  Dan Bacani and Jodi Shoemake of Lee & Associates-Pasadena as well as David Maltzman of Globe Street Properties represented the landlord. 

 Nathan Cromeenes of Newmark Knight Frank and Carol Springstead of Springstead & Associates represented the tenant. The project is scheduled for completion in January 2021.

  The new lease will position Grocery Outlet as the anchor tenant and complete the repositioning and renovation of the center, which began in 2015 when Fresh & Easy closed their doors.

  Dan Bacani 

“We were chasing Grocery Outlet back in 2016 but ultimately they signed a lease in Duarte”, Shoemake pointed out. “In reality, the F&E space was too small for GO in addition to the belief from GO that the two sites were too close to each other.

 "We knew the Rite Aid’s option was coming up, and always felt the Arcadia Foothill community would welcome the Grocery Outlet brand with open arms, so we kept asking.”

The City of Arcadia will have the good fortune of a second Grocery Outlet location at 140 E Live Oak, a former Walgreens. The opening date is projected for mid-2021. 

David Maltzman 
 

Although Bacani and Shoemake were not involved in the transaction, Grocery Outlet turned to the retail team to assist with an appeal against the CUP for alcohol sales.

“I feel that our team’s extensive local knowledge as commercial real estate brokers and past experience as municipal consultants for Arcadia definitely helped in defeating the surprising legal challenge,” Bacani remarked.

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market (NASDAQ: GO) is a publicly traded discount supermarket that supplies primarily name brand discounted and overstocked products with locations in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Grocery Outlet has over $2 billion in annual sales.

Andrea Howard

CHARLOTTE, NC, Nov. 30, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of the 150-unit Residence at SouthPark  

 JLL closed the property sale from institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to a fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors.

 Built in 2007, the Residence at SouthPark offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that average 1,573 square feet each.

150-unit Residence at SouthPark, Charlotte, NC

The property sits on 5.56 acres and totals 236,189 square feet, holding 96% occupancy. All units include 10-22’ ceilings, built-in bookcases and workstations, gourmet kitchens, washers and dryers, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances.

 Additionally, the Residence at SouthPark offers penthouse and loft apartments. Community amenities include a rooftop deck with a saltwater pool and firepits, club level with skyline views, 24-hour fitness center, business center, game room and a coffee, tea and wine bar.

 

Allan Lynch
The SouthPark submarket has been noticing a boom in interest because of the area’s recent urbanization in response to demand from young families desiring more space with suburban schooling without sacrificing city-life amenities.

 With walkability to local dining, retail and grocery top-of-mind, the apartments are in close proximity to Whole Foods and the premier SouthPark Mall and Sharon Square shopping destinations, among others.

 SouthPark is near other elite Charlotte neighborhoods such as Myers Park, which is just five minutes from the property and offers more than 675,000 square feet of office and 247,000 square feet of retail; and Dilworth, which offers over 767,000 square feet of additional retail, restaurants, galleries, pubs and more.

 The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Allan Lynch, Andrea Howard, Caylor Mark, John Currin and Jeff Glenn. 

Caylor Mark

 “Residence at SouthPark is an iconic Charlotte address that is primed for renovation after originally delivering in 2007,” said Lynch. 

“The community’s concrete construction and oversized units also make it one of the most attractive assets in the Carolinas.”

 “The Residence at SouthPark is a well-maintained and well-located asset in suburban Charlotte, where we believe we will continue to see outsized demand for high-end apartments,” said Robert Perry, Executive Managing Director of CBRE Global Investors.

  “This particular asset performed well throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to its oversized layouts and boutique unit count. We are looking forward to the continued successful operation of the property by our team.”

$43 million in acquisition financing arranged for Riata Apartments in Chandler, AZ

 Riata Apartments, 100 North Hearthstone Way, Chandler, AZ

 SAN DIEGO, CA – JLL Capital Markets announced it has arranged $43 million in acquisition financing for the 300-unit, luxury Riata Apartments in Chandler, Arizona.

 JLL worked on behalf of the buyer, EPI Limited Partnership, to secure the 25-year, 2.43% fixed-rate, fully amortizing life insurance company loan.  

 The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Zach Koucos, and Director Tim Brousse.

 Zach Koucos

 Comprising 266,874 rentable square feet and completed in January 2020, the Class A Riata Apartments consist of studio, one- and two-bedroom units.

 Units boast a contemporary style and contain luxury finishes on countertops, backsplashes, cabinets, kitchen islands (in select units) and wood-style flooring.

Community amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, clubhouse, billiards table, arcade games and business center.

 The apartments are located at 100 N. Hearthstone Way in Chandler, just southeast of Phoenix, and within walking distance to over 2.5 million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment, including the Chandler Fashion Center.

 The Riata Apartments are also situated near the Price Road Corridor, a major technology, medical and financial services employment hub.

 Given its centralized location, the apartments appeal to residents seeking a generous balance of live-work-play. The property was 92% leased at the time of closing.

Tim Brousse

“Riata is an excellent acquisition for EPI and we are grateful they entrusted us to arrange the new financing,” Koucos stated. “This attractive 25-year fixed rate, non-recourse loan is a testament to the strength of sponsorship and quality of the asset in a capital marketplace that is still rather fragmented.”

Alex Geanakos

 “Pharmacy investment sales have reached a three-year high in terms of pricing premium and volume,” says Sharrin.

 “Tenants such as CVS and Walgreens have been an incredibly defensive investment within the 1031 Exchange market, private capital market and even institutional capital market in 2020.”
