Vienna Beef Exec Has No Beef with Wheaton 121 Luxury Rentals

  

Tim O'Brien and wife Jan at Wheaton 121, Wheaton, IL

  

CHICAGO, IL (Oct. 15, 2014) – When Vienna Beef’s top dog, president Tim O’Brien, was looking for a temporary residence while building a new home in the western suburbs, he went about his search the way his company makes their hot dogs and sausages – the old fashioned way. He and his wife, Jan, drove around to check out rental communities for themselves.

Wheaton 121, Wheaton, IL

“We had just sold our home in Glen Ellyn, and wanted to stay in the western suburbs, but we also wanted to be near the Metra for my commute into Chicago to the Vienna Beef headquarters.

" So we started with that in mind and began taking a look at what was available,” said O’Brien.

He noted he and his wife saw many nice rental communities, but were immediately drawn to Wheaton 121 because it was brand new and very well-kept. “It just felt good when you walked inside, and we were impressed by the office staff, too. Once we saw the apartment homes, we were sold.”

Developed by Chicago-based Morningside Group, Wheaton 121 is located at 121 N. Cross St. in downtown Wheaton. The six-story development offers 306 luxury apartments ranging in size from 558-square-foot studios to 1,509-square-foot three-bed, two-bath plans. 

All homes feature nine-foot ceilings, granite countertops in the kitchens and baths, stainless steel appliances, kitchen islands, wood floors, ceramic tile in the baths, high-end plumbing and light fixtures, individually controlled gas forced-air furnaces and central air-conditioning, in-unit washers and dryers, and private outdoor space. 

O’Brien and his wife selected a two-bedroom, two-bath loft-style unit that offers a private, street-level entrance. It measures 1,105 square feet and features an open layout for the main living area and loft-like features including exposed concrete and ductwork.

  

“It is definitely something different for the Wheaton area,” he said. “It feels very urban, almost like we’re downtown in the city.”

For more information, visit www.Wheaton121.com or visit the leasing center and decorated models located at 121 N. Cross St. in Wheaton. The building is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.; and Sunday from noon until 5 p.m.

Avison Young completes seven-year office lease for Radiology Partners in El Segundo, CA

  

Jacob Bobek

 Los Angeles, CA – Avison Young, the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, announced today that it has completed a seven-year lease on behalf of office tenant Radiology Partners, an integrated radiology practice-management company. Valued at $2.5 million, the lease totaled 12,443 square feet (sf).

 Avison Young Principal Jacob Bobek, based in the company’s Downtown Los Angeles office, represented Radiology Partners. The landlord, Bixby Land Company, was represented by CBRE.

 Located at 2101 El Segundo Boulevard in El Segundo, CA, the five-story, 114,176-sf building was previously fully occupied by Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, which vacated the premises in 2013 as part of a company reorganization. 

Bixby acquired the property and conducted a major renovation to convert the building to creative office space. The building includes features such as exposed ceilings, a modern lobby with lounge and coffee bar, dog park, beach cruisers for tenant use, open spaces and meeting areas.

  

 Radiology Partners plans to move into its new space – approximately half of the fourth floor – in November 2014. 

The firm is expanding from its previous space, which totaled 5,000 sf, in El Segundo. With this expansion, the company plans to hire additional employees.

  

2101 El Segundo  Boulevard, El Segundo, CA

“El Segundo – which historically had a high concentration of aerospace, back office and financial services companies – was previously not a place where tech and growth companies wanted to locate,” comments Bobeck. 

“With rents spiking in other areas, the El Segundo market is now offering favorable office product for less rent than in other L.A. markets; the area is now attracting growth firms as landlords renovate vacated product to cater to a creative corporate culture”. 

  

Bobek adds: “It is no secret that some aerospace and related businesses are moving out of California. The good news is that the Los Angeles area is home to a growing number of tech firms and early-stage companies that are competing for space. Radiology Partners is a growing, early-stage company that was seeking creative office space near other early-stage tech firms. 2101 El Segundo was able to meet all of the company’s requirements.”

The purchaser of the property Fountain Square Owner, LLC, has retained NAI Merin Hunter Codman, Inc., one of South Florida’s leading commercial real estate firms, to spearhead the management and leasing of the project.

 Located at 2600, 2650 and 2700 N Military Trail in the affluent community of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County’s second largest city and largest office market, Fountain Square was constructed in phases between 1987 and 1999. It consists of three, four‐story buildings with 21,000- to 25,000-square-foot rectangular floor plates that surround a landscaped central plaza with a fountain.

“This was a compelling opportunity to provide financing on a quality asset in a market with improving fundamentals and we are excited to team up with an experienced local operator that has an intimate knowledge of the asset and the submarket,” said Kevin Chin, vice president with PCCP, LLC.

The asset was 61 percent occupied at closing, predominantly by a mix of tenants in the financial services, law, and healthcare industries, which is consistent with the regional office market. 

Despite the economic setbacks of the recession, over the past 12 months the property has achieved strong leasing momentum, with over 42,000 square feet of new leases signed.

 The financing was arranged by CBRE and MHCapital Funding LLC.

PCCP, LLC Provides $28 Million Senior Loan to Xebec Realty Partners for Development of A State-of-the-Art Industrial Park in Azusa, CA

Jay Soni

Los Angeles, CA – PCCP, LLC announced today that it has provided a $28 million senior loan to an affiliate of Xebec Realty Partners for the development of 10th Street Center, a three-building 342,629-square-foot Class A industrial park located in Azusa, California. 

The 21.6-acre site was acquired in June 2013 by an affiliate of Xebec Realty Partners.  

The site has been successfully entitled for industrial use and construction will begin immediately on three speculative buildings.

The first building will total approximately 88,349 square feet, the second building will total approximately 75,278 square feet, and the third building will total approximately 179,002 square feet. 

The facilities will have state-of-the-art features that include a 32-foot clear height and ESFR sprinkler system. 

 “This is PCCP’s first loan with Xebec Realty Partners,” stated Ron Bonneau, vice president with PCCP, LLC. “Xebec has a successful 26-year track record for building more than seven million square feet of infill industrial product and we feel this quality project will help meet the market’s high demand for much-needed space.”  

10th Street Center is situated along the west side of Todd Avenue near the 210 and the 605 freeways, which provide access throughout all of Los Angeles County.

The property is located in the San Gabriel Valley area, which is one of Los Angeles’ tightest industrial submarkets, with 1.3 percent vacancy according to CBRE.

  Xebec, in partnership with PCCP, is addressing this pent-up demand for state-of-the-art Class A warehouse facilities in the area through the development of the new industrial park.

“We are thrilled to be forging a new relationship with PCCP through this deal,” added Jay Soni, vice president of acquisitions for Xebec. “We look forward to successfully developing the site in Azusa as well as continuing to grow our relationship with PCCP in the future.”

Bonneau added: “The majority of the existing inventory in the San Gabriel Valley is older product with compromised functionality, so new product is highly sought after by users and should command strong activity.”

RealtyTrac Report Scores More than 1,500 Counties Based on Up to Five Factors Affecting Housing

Daren Blomquist

IRVINE, CA – Oct. 14, 2014 — RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released a 2014 Election Housing Scorecard report analyzing the health of local housing markets in more than 1,500 counties nationwide compared with two years ago.

The report scored 1,547 U.S. county housing markets based on up to five factors impacting housing health: housing affordability compared to two years ago, unemployment rates compared to two years ago, foreclosure starts compared to two years ago, median home prices compared to two years ago, and the percentage seriously underwater homeowners. County housing markets were categorized as Better Off, Worse Off or a Toss-Up based on this score.

“The housing market recovery has truly taken hold in about half of the country, but the recovery is weak or experiencing a relapse in the other half,” said Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac.

“Whether because of good government policy, sheer luck or otherwise, the majority of county housing markets in six of the eight states with close U.S. Senate races are better off than they were two years ago.

“This should favor the incumbent, or the incumbent’s party, all else being equal — which of course we know it is not.

" The only exceptions were Iowa and Alaska, where the majority of county housing markets were classified as toss-ups compared with two years ago.”
