Wickham Village Apartments, Melbourne, FL

MELBOURNE, FL, July 5, 2018 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of Wickham Village, a 151-unit apartment property located in Melbourne, Florida, according to Ari Ravi, regional manager of the firm’s Tampa office. The asset sold for $14,600,000.

Michael Donaldson

Michael Donaldson and Nicholas Meoli, senior investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller.  The buyer was also secured and represented by Michael Donaldson and Nicholas Meoli.

“Wickham Village was the final property to be sold as part of the Tripointe Value-Add Portfolio which consisted of 1,161 units in seven properties throughout North and Central Florida”, said Donaldson. “Within the portfolio, Wickham Village had some of the most upside potential to significantly raise rents through a renovation program and capitalize on the positive trends taking place on the Space Coast.”

“While 60 offers were generated on all the seven properties, a Tampa-based portfolio buyer ultimately purchased all seven properties and closed at the contract price of $103,000,000” adds Meoli. “We expect to see continued demand for portfolio purchases in order for larger investment groups to meet capital placement requirements and to grow a presence in Florida’s attractive economic climate.”

Wickham Village has an excellent location, with frontage on Wickham Road with 35,000 vehicles per day. The site has several convenient transportation options with proximity to major thoroughfares Interstate 95, State Road 528, and US-192, as well as the Orlando Melbourne International Airport, which is within a few minutes’ drive. 

Nicholas Meoli

The property is in a strong employment area within walking distance to the 113-bed Wuesthoff Medical Center and a working population of 138,000 within a five-mile radius. Also, Wickham Village has excellent nearby retail options including Wal-Mart Supercenter, Dollar Tree, Staples, Old Time Pottery Melbourne, Harbor Freight Tools, and ALDI.

Wickham Village also provides a rare value-add opportunity to increase gross revenue by over $600,000 within the first two years, this property is located at 500 North Wickham Road in Melbourne, FL.

51 East Ramona Expressway, Perris, CA

Eric Vu

PERRIS, CA -- Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, announced today that the firm completed the sale of a new construction single-tenant retail property occupied by Del Taco at 51 E. Ramona Expressway in Perris, California.

The property’s corporate guaranteed, absolute, triple-net lease has more than 18 years remaining on its 20-year initial term. The sale price was $2.81 million, representing $1,364 per square foot and a 4.07 percent cap rate, a record low cap rate for a single-tenant Del Taco in Riverside County.

 
Hanley Investment Group Senior Associate Eric Vu and Executive Vice President Bill Asher, along with President Ed Hanley, represented the seller, a developer based in Orange County, California. Paul Bahk at Realtex Properties Inc. of Los Angeles represented the buyer, a private investor based in Los Angeles.

The property is easily accessible via Interstate 215. Average daily traffic counts at the Ramona Expressway exit on Interstate 215 are 145,000 cars per day. 

“This was a highly sought-after single-tenant investment due to the initial long-term corporate lease combined with the high-traffic signalized intersection location,” said Vu.

 “Del Taco is highly visible from the corner of Ramona Expressway and Perris Boulevard, two well-traveled thoroughfares that connect Perris to Moreno Valley and includes immediate accessibility to a strong daytime workforce generated from approximately 18.2 million square feet of nearby distribution centers.”

“Through Hanley Investment Group’s strategic marketing efforts, we generated five qualified offers in the first three weeks of marketing the property, secured a Southern California-based 1031 exchange buyer at 98 percent of list price, and negotiated a significant non-refundable deposit from the buyer upon opening escrow,” said Asher.

Ed Hanley

 “Investor response to this offering clearly demonstrated the continued demand for well-located single-tenant fast-food investments like Del Taco.” Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. is the 2nd largest Mexican-American QSR chain by units in the United 22.

Native Realty Closes Nearly $7 Million Sale of Seagrape Commons in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

Rendering of Seagrape Commons, 218 and 222 East Commercial Boulevard, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, FL –– Native Realty, the pioneering Fort Lauderdale commercial real estate firm led by Jaime Sturgis, has closed the $6.75 million sale of Seagrape Commons, a fixture in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for more than 50 years. Sturgis and the firm’s Amanda Roy arranged the off-market transaction.

Jaime Sturgis

Located at 218 and 222 E. Commercial Blvd., Seagrape Commons is a unique mixed-use plaza that is home to numerous restaurants, including the brand-new Billy Jack’s Shack – Florida’s first location for the American franchise, Basilic Vietnamese Grill, Dr. Juice and Pump Sushi.

The 37,027-square-foot plaza also includes ground-floor retail, office space on the second floor and two residential units.

The seller, Seagrape Commons, LLC, completed substantial upgrades to the building in 2015. It maintained the plaza’s mid-century modern style that is prevalent in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Amanda Roy

ACS 218, LLC is the buyer. The sale closed on Friday, June 29.

“Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is popular year round between locals and tourists, so the town is coveted by commercial real estate investors as it is less affected by season,” Sturgis said.

 “But opportunities to acquire signature assets like Seagrape Commons are extremely rare, with only a handful of trades occurring in the market. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to facilitate the sale of this iconic property.”

The Seagrape Commons transaction continues a busy stretch of activity for Native Realty.

In May 2018, the firm’s Sara Dorfman completed the record-breaking sale of an Airbnb rental property in the city’s popular Victoria Park neighborhood. The 808-812 NE 16th Terrace changed hands for $1.65 million, the highest sale price in Victoria Park since at least 2006 and the most expensive in the history of the neighborhood on a price per unit basis.

Sara Dorfman

Also in May, Sturgis represented homegrown co-working space operator General Provision in a long-term lease for a brand-new location in downtown Fort Lauderdale. General Provision is set to soon open the three-story location inside a historic building at 300 SW First Ave., Suite 155 – adjacent to the mixed-use X Las Olas project.

Native Realty is headquartered in Flagler Village’s the Hive – a popular complex with retail, restaurants, offices, a vintage arcade bar and yoga studio.

Integra Realty Resources, U.S.A. Parking and many more. Native Realty is headquartered in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village at 908 N. Flagler Drive. For more information, visit .

Real Estate Capital Institute Finds Benchmark Five and 10-Year Treasuries Hold Steady

John Oharenko

Chicago, IL -- Even as the Fed increased rates by a
quarter point last month, benchmark five and ten-year treasuries held
steady. Experts have been predicting narrowing spreads and rising indices
for quite some time. For short-term, floating rate debt, such logic holds
true, but long-term rate behavior has baffled even the most astute pundits.
Investors continue seeking treasuries as financial protection against global
turbulence keeping long-term debt borrowing costs low.

Patience is paying off for borrowers waiting to lock into favorable fixed
rates, even in the face of more rate-hike threats. Mortgage pricing barely
changed as compared to the previous month. Spreads narrowed by about five
basis points from last month. Longer-term rates for conservatively
underwritten loans now hover in the lower four-percent-range; very low
leveraged debt may dip below four percent.

Given investor demand for purchasing mortgage debt, the best pricing
opportunities favor larger deals (e.g., $30 million plus). Lenders offer
more efficient underwriting and effective loan syndications for larger
deals. Interim loan programs, mainly bridge debt, is readily available from
banks and mortgage funds, as lenders seek competitive yields by climbing up
the risk curve. Furthermore, interest-only, non-amortizing debt remains
abundant. All in all, numerous capital sources will aggressively compete for
any reasonably viable real estate venture.

Since debt is very favorably priced, equity investing remains extremely
challenging, with no relief in sight. Yields are squeezed for nearly all
asset types and classes. Even so, many buyers starve for core product based
on the belief that core-plus and value-add investment returns are
comparatively low given the additional risk. On the other end of the
spectrum, opportunity ventures -- particularly new construction -- still
draw investor attention, but escalating construction costs squeeze yields to
paltry levels. Finding favorable returns continues to be the most
challenging responsibility of any investment manager.

The Real Estate Capital Institute's(r) director, John Oharenko, notes,
"Bargains are few and far between. Realty investing has risen to new
heights as a desirable investment class, both institutionally and with
private capital."
