 PHOENIX, AZ –  JLL Capital Markets arranged $96.5 million in construction financing for The Base, Phase I, a seven-building logistics development totalling 1.2 million square feet in Glendale, Arizona.


 JLL represented the borrower, ViaWest Group, and secured the construction loan from Bank OZK.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Executive Managing Director Kevin MacKenzie, Senior Director Jason Carlos and Associate Jarrod Howard.

Situated on 82.55 acres, the state-of-the-art facility will feature buildings between 80,000 and 310,000 square feet with clear heights up to 36 feet.

Jason Carlos 
There will be 105 trailer parking spaces and 1,325 auto parking spaces on site with 236 dock-high doors, 38 grade level doors in rear-load and cross-dock configurations. 

Building sizes were designed to accommodate a wide range of divisibility between 20,000 square feet and full-building users up to 310,000 square feet. The Base, Phase I, is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The project will be located at the NWC of Litchfield Rd. and Bethany Home Rd. in the West Valley of Phoenix, home of the booming Loop 303 industrial corridor.

Lincoln Property Co. Completes Five New Retail/Entertainment Leases at 55 West’s Church Street Market in Orlando, FL

Kathy Bonini
 

 ORLANDO, FL  – Lincoln Property Company Southeast, (LPC) closed on five new 10-year leases for 25,000 square feet at The Church Street Market, 54 and 55 Church Street West in downtown Orlando since the beginning of this year. 

 

The retail /mixed-use component of the luxury high-rise 55 West currently has only two street level spaces remaining available.


Aaron Dan

 LPC Senior Vice President Aaron Dan and Senior Brokerage Services Associate Kathy Bonini, negotiated the lease agreements representing Landlord Hasta Capital, a leading investor in the U.S. and Latin America. 

 

Birria 1983, with 3,800 square feet, is an award-winning taco concept including a full bar offering numerous variations of Tequela; The Bao Spot with 2,100 square feet will offer many different cuisines swathed in the soft “bao” dumpling to enjoy in an extraterrestrial themed atmosphere. Both of these restaurants opening by the end of September will also offer patio dining.

BluWave Sushi, offering fresh hand-crafted creations will open in November in 3,000 square feet – four times the size of its original location in Tampa. 

 

SAK Comedy Lab with 7,200 square feet and Luxe Med Spa with 3,800 square feet – are both relocating from Orange Avenue and planning to open by the end of this year when interior remodeling is complete. 

 

The Luxe Med Spa space on the second level requires extensive redesign for its treatment rooms and SAK Comedy will be able to seat approximately 150 patrons upon completion of interior renovations.  

 


Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer


The 72,000 square foot Church Street Market built in 2006 is currently 91 percent leased, with one lease pending which would put it at 98 percent leased once executed. Existing tenants include Fringe ArtSpace, Artisan’s Table, Bagel Dudes, Cucina Pizza & Bar and CFS Coffee.

 

Bonini and Dan said there has been a great deal of interest in the sophisticated urban location, and they are in negotiations for a 5,600 square foot space with three top restauranteurs to take the former Rusty Spoon space. Each one would complement the other tenants.

 




Dan said, “We’re extremely pleased with the level of interest we’ve had at Church Street Market. There is so much leasing activity going on behind the scenes on Church Street right now, it’s going to be truly special when all the new restaurants, retailers, and entertainment venues open their doors within the next few months. 


"We’ve also been fortunate to have a city who is pro-business and offering financial assistance to retailers/restaurants coming to Downtown Orlando.”

 

"As our downtown continues to serve as Central Florida's premier neighborhood, it's important we diversify our offerings and enhance our vibrant hub," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.  "These new restaurants and retail businesses help us do just that and add to our thriving city center, providing more options for our residents, visitors and workers."

West Valley Retail Demand Brings Phoenix’s Agua Fria Plaza to 100% Leased

 

Katie Weeks

PEORIA, AZ, Sept.27, 2023 – On behalf of institutional owner and investor Westwood Financial, Phoenix-based retail brokerage specialist Western Retail Advisors has completed a string of leases that bring the Agua Fria Plaza retail center in Phoenix’s West Valley to 100% leased.

 The center, which is located at the southeast corner of 91st and Olive avenues in Peoria, sits directly along the Loop 101 Freeway, just north of State Farm Stadium, Desert Diamond Arena and the new VAI Resort, a water-themed development that – when opened in 2024 – will become Arizona’s largest hotel and entertainment destination.

Bryan Ledbetter

Since securing the leasing assignment for Agua Fria Plaza, Western Retail Advisors Senior Vice President Bryan Ledbetter and partner Katie Weeks have completed 13 leases at the project totaling more than 20,000 square feet.

 “Tenants continue to have an almost unfettered demand for high-quality metro Phoenix retail space. Agua Fria Plaza particularly shines with its freeway adjacency and almost direct access to the West Valley’s booming sports, entertainment, resort and residential developments,” said Ledbetter.

Lauren Ball

“Special thanks to David Mitroff and Lauren Ball at Westwood Financial for their institutional-level expertise and for creating an environment where great leases can happen quickly and successfully.”

 According to CoStar, metro Phoenix’s retail vacancy rate has fallen to approximately 5% – a record low that is driven, in part, by booming population growth in the market’s West Valley suburbs.

 David Mitroff 

Agua Fria Plaza is anchored by a newly remodeled Fry’s Food & Drug store. Other tenants include Nationwide Vision, UPS, Foothills Sports Medicine, Wingstop, Subway and McDonalds.

 A just-signed, five-year deal with Beauty Parlour Salon totaling 1,200 square feet brings the project to fully occupied.

Concord Summit Capital Closes $23.5 Million in Construction Financing for Luxury Condominium Project in Coastal Maine

The Mark’, a for-sale condominium development
in Cumberland Foreside, an exclusive neighborhood
near the coast in Cumberland, Maine.

 Cumberland, Maine/Denver, CO) – Concord Summit Capital, LLC (“Concord Summit”) has arranged $23.5 million of total construction financing for

The Mark’, a for-sale condominium development in Cumberland Foreside, an exclusive neighborhood near the coast in Cumberland, Maine.

The financing includes a $17.8 million senior construction loan and a $5.7 million mezzanine investment. Concord Summit also sourced a future commitment for $5.5 million of C-PACE funding for the project.

 

Concord Summit Capital’s Managing Director Daniel Eidson, who works out of the company’s Denver office, sourced the financing on behalf of the developer, Mark McClure.


Daniel J. Eidson

“Concord Summit continues to close construction loans in a challenged environment to provide high-leverage financing on projects nationwide,” Eidson said.

 

The Mark features a four-story, 45-unit property with units ranging in size from 620 to 1,327 square feet.

 

Cumberland Foreside is well known for its robust housing market, having experienced 40% year-over-year price increases and an average household income of over $250,000.

 

Cumberland is also consistently ranked as the most desirable place in Maine to live and raise a family. With proximity to Portland, Falmouth, and Yarmouth, Cumberland residents reap the benefits of a gorgeous coastline and a close-knit community while having easy access to Portland and all the benefits a larger city has to offer.


                                                    Mark McClure.


Developer McClure founded Miami-based GenX Capital Partners in 2016. GenX is an advisory and investment firm that has successfully developed, co-developed and rehabbed residential subdivisions of 25 homes or more, multimillion-dollar luxury homes, and high-end boutique hotels.

 

GenX currently has more than $300 million in multifamily, residential and hospitality projects in various stages of development.

 

“We could not have executed this complex senior and mezzanine loan structure without the commitment and sophistication of the development and lending team,” Eidson said.


Cumberland, Maine

“The project was more than 40% complete at closing, and by providing the sponsor with a 92% LTC loan, we were able to finance 100% of the remaining construction costs and repay the existing land loan.

 

"We have also documented a mechanism for a future C-PACE investment to reduce overall borrowing costs.”

 

Construction of The Mark is expected to wrap up by Summer 2024.
