Brookhaven Station, Atlanta, GA
 

 ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 5, 2024 – JLL Capital has brokered the sale of Brookhaven Station, a 44,966-square-foot retail center in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. The price was not disclosed.

 

JLL worked on behalf of the seller, Hendon Properties, to procure the buyer, SITE Centers.


 

Jim Hamilton
Brookhaven Station is generational asset located in the heart of Historic Brookhaven and proximate to the Buckhead submarket.  The center is directly adjacent to the highly sought-after Historic Brookhaven neighborhood which boasts an average household income exceeding $260,000.

 The shopping center is strategically positioned along Peachtree Rd. and benefits from high traffic counts and a dense daytime population of nearly 190,000 within a three-mile radius. 


Additionally, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, two of the top-performing shopping centers in the southeast, are just one mile away, and midtown and downtown Atlanta are just four miles away.

 

Brookhaven Station is a vintage asset, originally built in 1985 and recently renovated in 2022-2023. The retail complex spans over 4.6 acres of generational real estate in the heart of Atlanta. The retail center benefits from a high-performing and well-established tenant lineup of local favorites including Chick-fil-A, Fox Bros Bar-B-Q, Chop't and Mellow Mushroom.


                             Brad Buchanan

Brookhaven Station had nearly one-million visitors over the past 12 months and has maintained historical occupancy of nearly 100%.

 

JLL Capital Market’s Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Jim Hamilton, Managing Director Brad Buchanan and Director Andrew Kahn.


“Brookhaven Station was one of the most highly sought after retail investment sales opportunities we’ve seen in 2024 due to the unique location, potential upside and lack of available retail properties for sale. Overall, southeast retail investment sale activity has been robust in 2024 due to strong operating fundamentals, positive job and population growth in sunbelt markets, as well as improving financing conditions compared to a year ago,” said Hamilton.

Four JLL service lines combine to sell and capitalize 16-acre flex/industrial site in Hamilton, NJ

1 Electronics Drive, Hamilton, NJ
 

 MORRISTOWN, NJ – JLL Capital Markets announced the sale, joint venture acquisition equity and debt placement for 1 Electronics Drive, a 16-acre flex/industrial property located in Hamilton, Mercer County, New Jersey. Financial details were not disclosed.

Jeremy Neuer

Acting on behalf of the seller BTR Capital Group, JLL Capital Markets facilitated the sale to Saxum Real Estate Partners. Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, JLL secured joint venture equity from Meadow Partners along with acquisition financing from Prime Finance.

 Powered by the collaborative nature of the platform, JLL’s Tom Romano, Managing Director, initiated the relationship as the leasing agent for BTR Capital Group and assembled a best-in-class real estate investment advisory team including Senior Managing Directors Jeremy Neuer, Marc Duval and Jose Cruz, Managing Director Jordan Avanzato, Directors Jason Lundy and Nick Stefans and Associate Conor Walsh to collaborate on the sale.

 

Marc Duval
Duval and Lundy also secured the joint venture equity on behalf of the buyer while Senior Managing Director Michael Klein and Managing Director Tom Didio, Jr., secured the debt.

 

“JLL is committed to putting the full power of the platform to use for our clients,” commented Duval. “This was a joint effort across four teams in two different offices who have embraced the change and growth within our industry.”

 

“Saxum and Meadow Partner’s reputation and business plan for the asset drew significant interest from lenders. We are happy to have secured acquisition financing that best met the sponsorship’s needs,” added Klein.

 

The low coverage property sits on 16-acre lot, featuring an existing 80,000-square-foot building, which is 72% leased, and 530 surface parking spaces. The property’s location and layout provides flexibility for future utilization.


Jose Cruz
“As developable land becomes increasingly scarce in the highly sought-after Central New Jersey industrial market, 1 Electronics Drive is perfectly positioned to cater to the growing demand for prime locations with strong leasing fundamentals,” said Lundy.

 

“Additionally, we’re looking forward to seeing the new venture execute their business plan and capitalize on the region's high demand for multi-tenanted, shallow bay industrial space.”
