Grubb & Ellis Closes Largest Single Asset Office Transaction in Sacramento County in 2009



SAN FRANCISCO, CA– Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE: GBE), a leading real estate services and investment firm, today announced that on behalf of an institutional joint venture, the company facilitated the sale of 10000 Goethe Road in Sacramento and 1650 Harbor Bay Parkway in Alameda to a private investor.

While the actual sale price of the assets was not disclosed, the Sacramento sale is believed to be the largest single office building sale in Sacramento County in 2009.


Edward Suharski, (bottom right photo) executive vice president, and Steven Golubchik and Seth McKinnon, vice presidents, all members of Grubb & Ellis’ Institutional Capital Markets group, represented the joint venture in the transaction. The buyer represented itself.

“In the midst of the recession, our team worked closely with the seller to facilitate the sale of these buildings in a relatively short period, showing that there are still buyers in the market for quality product,” Suharski said. “We received interest from both private capital and institutional investors, but ultimately a private buyer was selected due to their offering structure and their quick close.”


Golubchik added, “Although some institutions are sitting on the sidelines, private capital investors see this current market cycle as one of the best opportunities to buy and have begun to snatch up recent offerings on an all cash basis and with very quick closings. There remains strong investor confidence in the stability and resilience of the Sacramento marketplace.”

Located within the master-planned South Bradshaw Business Center, 10000 Goethe Road is a two-story, 126,000-square-foot Class A office building that is 100 percent leased to the State of California on a long-term basis. The property was completed in 1997.

Offering approximately 64,000 square feet of space, 1650 Harbor Bay Parkway is a two-story R&D/office building that was completed in 2001. The property is accessible via the newly constructed Ron Cowan Parkway on Interstate 880, linking it with Oakland, San Francisco and the Silicon Valley. It was 89 percent occupied at the time of sale.

The Real Estate Capital Scoreboard(r) - November 2009

CHICAGO, IL, Nov. 2, 2009 - The recovering stock market is gradually translating to more favorable conditions in the realty capital markets.

While the capital markets are relatively dormant as lenders seek to shore up the balance sheets, select life companies, banks and private funding sources continue conservatively funding transactions.

Furthermore, Mortgage REITs have reentered the market, seeking higher leverage loans, but at larger rate premiums. Greater competition from this sector will continue pressuring other lenders to offer better pricing.

Regardless of pricing, project quality and sponsorship remain tantamount as lenders stay defensive. As such, current pricing trends include the following:

* During the past month, benchmark treasury yields moved nearly a quarter percent higher, yet rates remained steady as many lenders continue using rate floors for permanent loans.


* Floating rate debt remained unchanged as prime bank customers pay floating-rate pricing starting at about 4.5%.

* While new transactions are still rare, refinancings and restructuring of loans remains in the forefront of real estate capital markets. Appraisers and investors are using band-of-investment calculations for sizing values and loans absent of any relevant market comparable data.

Given current debt pricing, capitalization rates under such models typical start at 7% for multifamily properties and 8.5% for commercial assets. Multifamily agency pricing favors securitized loans vs. balance sheet debt as the agencies CMBS markets slowly recover.

* Opportunity investors armed with significant equity capital aggressively hunt for bargain price distressed assets with pricing of 20% or more on an overall return basis using five-years or less time horizon.

* Commercial and industrial tenants with specialized space needs and multifamily projects using FHA funds, such as 221(d)(4), are the only sources of new construction demand. Return-on-cost yields start at 8% for

"definable" credit-worthy tenants; otherwise double-digit figures are more representative of current development risk pricing.


Aaron Gruen, (bottom left photo) an Advisory Board Member of the Real Estate Capital Institute notes, "The Great Recession has permanently altered consumer, investment, and governmental behavior. Both public and private sector interests which influence land use and economic development need to reset their models and practices to work out projects and plans affected by the Great Recession and to respond to the opportunities the economic recovery will present."

The 95% leased property is located at 1401 South Joyce Street in the Pentagon City/Crystal city neighborhood of Arlington, close to downtown Washington, D.C., the Pentagon, and Reagan National Airport.


“Adjacent to the Nordstrom and Macy-anchored Fashion Center at Pentagon City and leading lifestyle retail at Pentagon Row, the neighborhood amenity base is among the very best in the region,” added Nachison.

Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers was established in 1994 to provide private real estate equity investment management services for its parent, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and other institutional clients including public and corporate pension funds, endowments, foundations, and insurance companies.

Auction of 61,545-SF 10th Floor in the Plaza could bring new Boutique Hotel to Downtown Orlando

ORLANDO, FL --- Bidders eyeing the bankruptcy auction Nov. 19 of 12 office condominium suites that total 61,545 square feet of space on the 10th floor of The Plaza towers (top right photo) on Church St. and Orange Ave. in downtown Orlando may bring a new boutique hotel to downtown Orlando.

Lori Chipps, (bottom left photo)  auctioneer with Worldwide Auction Realty Services, the firm auctioning the property, said developer Cameron Kuhn (middle left photo) originally developed a concept plan for the space---the largest single floor plate available in the downtown Orlando area---as a boutique hotel.

“The hotel concept plan that was generated offers 64 studio and one bedroom hotel suites, front desk lobby, bar/lounge, service area and housekeeping space,” Chipps said. “This would make a very nice size boutique hotel or possibly even a condominium hotel, especially when you consider that The Plaza is within two blocks of the event center and Performing Arts Center.


The Plaza towers also offer restaurants, cafés, retail, and a 12-screen cinema.

Commercial condominiums to be auctioned range in size from 2,585 square feet to 7,285 square feet including four private balconies, and feature floor-to-ceiling window views of the downtown Orlando skyline.

“The space to be auctioned spans both the north and south towers including the connecting area between the two towers,” said Chipps.


The bankruptcy absolute auction will accept bids on individual suites, multiple suites or bulk purchase of all 12 suites.

Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Auction Services conducted an auction of 55,000 square feet of office condominium space in the Plaza towers in May of 2008 that brought an average sale price of $162 per square foot.

The Plaza’s two towers total 394,000 square feet of office space, 105,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space, the 12-screen Plaza Cinema and café on the ground floor and 306 residential condominiums in the Solair tower.


The auction will be conducted live on site starting at 5 p.m. and bids will be accepted by telephone and on the Internet. For more information about the auction or to register to bid live or online, telephone 800-327-1048 or visit http://www.wwauctionservices.com/.

Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. Arranges $11M Loan in Riverside, CA

RIVERSIDE, CA– Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation (MMCC) has arranged an $11 million loan for the refinancing of a 192-unit apartment building in Riverside.

Michael Derk,  (top right photo) vice president capital markets in the firm’s Long Beach office, arranged the financing for the building.

“We were able to execute the closing of the loan with a $4 million cash-out, which is nearly impossible in a declining market, and was subject to the lender’s review,” says Derk.

 “The property had just undergone a significant rehab that negatively impacted the historical occupancy; therefore, we had to emphasize the strength of the borrower’s résumé and financial stability.”


The loan is a 10-year fixed rate loan with a 30-year amortization, a loan-to-value of 62 percent and a 5.99 percent interest rate.

$52M Apartment Complex Sold in Petaluma, CA by Marcus & Millichap


PETALUMA, CA – Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has sold the 492-unit Lakeville Resort  (top left photo) in Petaluma for $52 million. The sales price represents $105,691 per unit.

Stanford Jones, an executive vice president investments and senior director of Marcus & Millichap’s National Multi Housing Group in Palo Alto, and associate vice presidents investments Phil Saglimbeni and Sal Saglimbeni, also in the Palo Alto office, represented the seller, Equity Residential. Marcus & Millichap also represented the buyer, Abacus Capital Group.


“Pricing has been redefined over the past nine months to levels that are significantly below their peaks. Supported by compelling agency financing, the result is a rare opportunity to acquire assets in supply constrained markets with positive leverage,” says Jones.

“The new owner of Lakeville Resort has acquired a value-added, urban infill multifamily complex with the potential to generate a healthy income stream on a long-term basis,” says Phil Saglimbeni.

“In spite of the challenging economic environment, investors remain interested in well-located apartment assets in locations markets supported by strong fundamentals,” adds Phil Saglimbeni. “Institutional sales activity increased in the second and third quarters of 2009, a trend we expect to continue moving into 2010.”


The 461,798-square foot Lakeview Resort apartment complex at 1 Lakeview Circle is located in the southern portion of Sonoma County’s world-renowned wine country. The property is near U.S. Highway 101 and State Route 116, which provide easy access to employment centers in San Francisco, the North Bay and East Bay.
