Lauren Lovell 

PHOENIX, AZ – Leading labor and employment law firm Ogletree Deakins has renewed and expanded its regional office footprint at the Esplanade III, making it the second law firm that JLL has renewed within the past 12 months at the Camelback Esplanade, a landmark mixed-use office development located in the heart of Phoenix’s Camelback Corridor.

John Pierson

 Managing Director John Pierson, Vice President Trevor Pratt and Associate Lauren Lovell from the Phoenix office of JLL represented Ogletree Deakins in the lease agreement.

Trevor Pratt

“The Esplanade has immediate access to some of metro Phoenix’s best restaurants and services, and sits at the center of one of the state’s most dynamic business corridors,” said Pierson.

Jim Achen 

 Under its new lease, Ogletree Deakins will expand its Esplanade III footprint to 18,801 square feet. The space is used for a regional office.

Ogletree Deakins’ expanded regional office sits on the eight floor of Esplanade III, a 218,387-square-foot, Class A trophy office building located at 2415 E. Camelback Road.

Esplanade III is part of the larger Camelback Esplanade development, which includes five Class A mid-rise office towers, an AMC dine-in movie theatre, Starbucks, Tocaya Organica, Merc Bar and FLINT by Baltaire, among other amenities.

JLL arranges $3.6 million financing for Boston-area retail building

1429 Beacon Street, a 7,955-SF, fully leased, multi-tenant retail building that houses three tenants in Brookline, MA

BOSTON, MA – JLL Capital Markets announced it is has arranged $3.6 million in acquisition financing for 1429 Beacon St., a 7,955-square-foot, fully leased, multi-tenant retail building in the Boston-area community of Brookline, Massachusetts.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Boston-based Eden Properties, to place the 10-year, fixed-rate, non-recourse loan with Eastern Bank.

The one-story 1429 Beacon St. was completed in 1922 and has been updated throughout its almost century-long history. 

Martha Nay

The one-story building has a basement level and is home to three tenants: East Boston Savings Bank, Brookline Ballet School and the School is Cool daycare. 

Situated on 0.16 acres, the property occupies the corner of Marion Street and Beacon Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Brookline. 

1429 Beacon St. is adjacent to the Summit Avenue stop on the MBTA’s Green Line C Branch, which provides direct access to downtown Boston 3.5 miles away via Park Street and North Station, two of Boston’s major mass-transit hubs.

Greg LaBine 

 The property location is surrounded by a large, affluent residential base with nearly one million residents within a five-mile radius earning an average annual household income of more than $124,000.

The Capital Markets debt placement team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Greg LaBine and Director Martha Nay.

“It’s easy to understand why Eden was drawn to this retail asset, given its irreplaceable location on Beacon Street in Brookline’s Coolidge Corner,” Nay said. “The sponsor’s vision for the asset and reputation helped JLL to secure superior financing terms from Eastern Bank.”
