ConAm Deepens Its Investment in Bay Area with Acquisition of 127-Unit Apartment Community in Brentwood, CA


TownCentre Commons, 1275 Central Boulevard, Brentwood, CA

BRENTWOOD, CA  – The ConAm Group (ConAm), a San Diego-based real estate investment, development and services firm, is deepening its investment by expanding its multifamily portfolio in the Bay Area with the $26.4 million acquisition of TownCentre Commons, a 137-unit apartment community in Brentwood, California.

George Lloyd
“This property is located in the historic downtown Brentwood submarket, making it strongly aligned with our strategy to acquire well-located assets in growing submarkets throughout the Bay Area,” says George Lloyd, ConAm’s Executive Vice President of Acquisitions.

“The asset provides easy access to the entire Bay Area, Central Valley and Sacramento markets, and creates an opportunity for strong rental growth and tremendous long-term value.”

Brentwood is an affluent community that is demonstrating rapid growth potential, according to Lloyd, who notes that a recent Nielsen report projects an anticipated 11.35 percent increase in population by 2019.

Lloyd adds, “The TownCentre Commons apartment community represents the demands of today’s renters, who are seeking centrally located housing close to high-quality amenities.”

At the time of the acquisition, the apartment community was 98.5% percent occupied. ConAm plans to implement a series of interior and exterior upgrades to the property, including the property’s common area amenities.

Rob Singh
“Our plan is to immediately improve the overall aesthetics of the property, and complete the balance of the interior renovation which will enable us to attract new residents and increase current resident retention,” says Rob Singh, ConAm’s President and Chief Investment Officer.

 “The property upgrades will also provide the opportunity for future rent increases, coinciding with population and job growth in this affluent area.”

Singh also notes that with this acquisition, ConAm’s Northern California portfolio now totals approximately 14,850 units, including owned and managed assets.

The TownCentre Commons apartment community is located at 1275 Central Blvd. in Brentwood, California. ConAm and the seller, Ridge Capital Investors were represented by Seth Siegel and Jason Parr at Cushman & Wakefield.

PKF Hospitality Research Not Concerned About The Current Tumultuous Stock Market


R. Mark Woodworth
 Atlanta, GA – Recent gyrations on Wall Street may have hoteliers questioning whether this is the beginning of the end to the good times that have characterized the U.S. hotel industry for the past five years.

 PKF Hospitality Research (PKF-HR), a CBRE Company, does not believe so and is reaffirming its near-to-mid-term forecast for strong lodging financial performance. 

According to PKF-HR’s recently released September 2015 edition of Hotel Horizons®, U.S. hotels will continue to enjoy above long-run average revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth through 2018.

“It is hard to ignore what has been happening on Wall Street, but the forecasts of employment and income that we rely on to prepare our estimates of future lodging supply, demand and average room rates (ADR) remain strong,” said R. Mark Woodworth, senior managing director of PKF-HR.

 “The recent volatility in the stock market is an indicator of the uncertainty that persists in the U.S. and world economies.  However, the probability of a downturn in hotel industry performance remains remote.”

Sue Carras

 WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has arranged joint venture equity for the redevelopment of the Patterson House, a historic mansion in Washington, D.C. that will be renovated and expanded into 92 fully-furnished, luxury apartment units.

HFF worked on behalf of SB-Urban, whose principals are Frank Saul III and Mike Balaban, and its partner Rooney Properties, whose principals are Francis and Kathleen Rooney and Jim Lee, to procure joint venture equity through CBD LLC, led by principals Chuck Berman and Tracey Appelbaum.

 Originally designed by renowned architect Stanford White in 1903, the Neoclassical-style property, located directly on Dupont Circle, will be converted into an urban suites concept, uniquely tailored by SB-Urban to serve a highly-mobile clientele seeking a full-service, highly-amenitized experience not available in the current marketplace. 

The project will include a full renovation of the mansion and the addition of an eight-story wing, all of which Hartman-Cox Architects designed with interiors by Darryl Carter Inc.  The general contractor will be Manhattan Construction Company.

Kathleen Rooney
The Patterson House will feature shared living spaces in which SB-Urban will provide a visiting chef program, daily continental breakfast, study lounge/meeting space, special events kitchen, private wine storage and a large living room with staffed bar in the space that formerly served as the mansion’s ballroom. 

Services also will include a state-of-the-art fitness center, housekeeping and laundry service, concierge service and cultural/entertainment programs. 

The Patterson House offers a flexible residential option for urban professionals coming to live downtown to conduct business with the area’s law firms, embassies, political and financial institutions, and global companies.

“This unique project will provide renters a new choice for a luxury, full-service living experience in Washington, D.C.,” said Sue Carras, HFF senior managing director. 

“The urban suites concept provides a thoughtful emphasis on the quality of product and service that will clearly differentiate the Patterson House in the market, beyond its exceptional amenities.”

Public-Private Partnership to Start Construction of 130,000-SF Logistics Cold Storage Food Facility at Port Tampa Bay, FL


 
George Livingston
TAMPA, FL --- A public-private partnership that includes Port Logistics Tampa Bay I, Inc., and Port Tampa Bay will start construction of a 130,000-square foot state-of-the-art intermodal cold storage food products facility at Port Tampa Bay early next year.

When it opens in November 2016, the $19.1 million facility will employ 50 full-time workers and up to 200 part-time workers, said long-time Central Florida industrial developer George Livingston, a principal in Port Logistics.

Livingston said the Tampa Port Authority Board recently approved a 27-year lease to Port Logistics Tampa Bay I for the 13.7 acres where the facility will be developed on Hookers Point at Port Tampa Bay in downtown Tampa.

The Tampa Port Authority has engaged Atlanta-based Batson-Cook Company as contract manager for the project.

Port Logistics Tampa Bay I will be responsible for interior improvements and all terminal operations, providing cold supply chain operations at the Port, Livingston said.

The facility will receive, label, package and distribute temperature controlled food products from foreign ports, Livingston explained. “We expect to operate almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

“In our first year of operation we expect to accommodate 100 vessels with 400,000 pallets, along with 70 to 80 trucks per day entering and leaving the facility,” Livingston added.

Port Tampa Bay
Products will include perishable goods, fruits, vegetables, pharmaceuticals and any other products that require temperature control.

Refrigerated ships arriving at Port Tampa Bay will shave three days off their voyage to Philadelphia, which hosts the principal cold storage food facilities on the eastern seaboard, according to Allen Huie, a principal and co-founder of Port Logistics.

Huie, an investment banker in Hong Kong, has partnered with Livingston on several other previous ventures.

Port Logistics has formed alliances with some of the largest and most experienced providers in the intermodal shipping industry for the Port Tampa Bay project,” Huie explained, “ including”:

Hanley Investment Group’s Eric Wohl Negotiates Sale of 75,000 SF Anchored Shopping Center for $8.7 Million in Tupelo, Ms



Shops at Barnes Crossing, 3944-3952 North Gloster Street, Tupelo, MS


Eric Wohl
CORONA DEL MAR, CA - Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally-recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, is pleased to announce that Executive Vice President Eric Wohl represented the seller in the sale of the Shops at Barnes Crossing, a 75,000-square-foot neighborhood shopping center anchored by Bed Bath & Beyond, Dollar Tree, and David' s Bridal in Tupelo, Mississippi. 

The purchase price was $8,725,000, representing one of the lowest cap rates in the state of Mississippi for this type of retail property.  The cap rate was 8.20%

The Shops at Barnes Crossing is situated on 8.18 acres at the signalized intersection of North Gloster Street and Symphony Lane at 3944-3952 North Gloster Street in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Built in 2004, the retail center includes a strong mix of local, regional and national tenants and is located across the street from Walmart Supercenter to the west and the Mall at Barnes Crossing to the east. The property was 97% occupied at the time of the sale.

The buyer, which was represented by Joseph Montgomery from Colliers Investment Sales in Atlanta, Georgia, was a private investor based out of Athens, Georgia. The seller, represented by Wohl, was RCG Ventures LLC of Atlanta, Georgia, a privately-funded real estate investment group that acquires and develops commercial real estate throughout the U.S. 

Joseph Montgomery
"This transaction had it all: a 1031 exchange buyer who we helped navigate through a CMBS loan assumption; getting the buyer comfortable with the non-credit local tenants on shorter term leases, one of which that hadn't yet opened for business; and working around deferred maintenance issues," said Wohl.

"This property is a great example of an institutional-style investment in a strong secondary/tertiary market," said Wohl. 

"The Shops at Barnes Crossing offers the buyer an outstanding retail location, right across the street from Walmart Supercenter and the largest mall within 140 miles (770,000 square feet), anchored by JCPenney, Belk, Dick's Sporting Goods and Sears with over 12 million annual shoppers."

Wohl adds, "With cap rates on NNN investments at historically low levels, many NNN investors are now  looking at multi-tenant retail investments in markets where they can get a significantly better yield."

Late last year, Wohl represented a Texas-based investment group in the acquisition of Cross Creek Shopping Center in Tupelo, Mississippi. The 65,269-square-foot property, purchased at an undisclosed amount from national REIT Phillips Edison & Company, is anchored by national tenants and is located off of U.S. Route 78, between Memphis and Birmingham. Tupelo is the county seat and the largest city of Lee County. It is also the seventh-largest city in the state

Located on 3.67 acres, the inline building totals 39,268 square feet. The property was 100% occupied at time of sale and featured an initial ten-year NNN lease with Dollar Tree that had nine years remaining. Smart & Final opened for business shortly before the property closed escrow with a new 15-year NNN lease.

Bill Asher
The seller, represented by Hanley and Asher, was Brad Becker, a principal at Becker Properties based in Encinitas, Calif. The buyer, GBF Investment LLC based in Pomona, Calif., was represented by Bob Bonanomi of CBRE in Universal City, Calif.  The purchase price was $7,088,000, which represented a cap rate of 5.75 percent. 

According to Asher, "We secured an all-cash buyer in the first week of marketing after generating multiple offers showing the continued high demand for well-located retail investments in greater southern California leased to credit tenants with long-term leases. 

“We procured a highly qualified buyer and negotiated a mutually beneficial closing timeframe prior to the new Smart & Final’s formal rent commencement date. The structure maximized value for the seller, while efficiently and effectively fulfilling the buyer’s acquisition requirement.”

Also, in Moreno Valley, Hanley Investment Group completed the sale of a two-tenant retail building occupied by a 3,940-square-foot Coast Dental office and a 2,500-square-foot TitleMax at 12252 Perris Boulevard. 

Located on .30 acres, the freestanding 6,440-square-foot pad building is located in a shopping center that includes CVS/pharmacy, dd's Discounts, Bank of America and Dollar Tree and is situated at the hard corner signalized intersection of Perris Boulevard and Hemlock Avenue. 


TitleMax, 12252 Perris Boulevard, Moreno Valley, CA
The purchase price was $3,325,000, representing $507 per square feet. The seller, represented by Hanley and Asher, was MV-Perris, LLC, a subsidiary of FHC Inc. based in Newport Beach, Calif. The buyer, TC Enterprise Group, LLC in Pasadena, Calif., was represented by Charles Wong of CCRE Capital Commercial, Inc. of Irvine, Calif.

“We negotiated a seven-day due diligence period and successfully closed escrow 20 days after execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with an all-cash buyer,” said Asher. “It provided the seller with a firm commitment from the buyer in a short period of time, while giving the buyer the certainty that they had secured a property for their 1031 exchange early in their identification process.”  

Asher notes it was a record price per square foot sale for a multi-tenant strip center in Moreno Valley. The property is situated in a primary corridor with neighboring retailers that include Walgreens, McDonald' s, Food 4 Less and O' Reilly Auto Parts.

HFF secures $10.2 million financing for grocery-anchored shopping center in central New York


Hannaford Plaza, 40 Kellogg Road, New Hartford, NY

Michael Klein
NEW YORK, NY – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has secured $10.2 million in acquisition/bridge financing for Hannaford Plaza, a 110,732-square-foot, grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping center in the Utica suburb of New Hartford, New York.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, BH Kellog LLC, to arrange the three-year, floating-rate loan with Realty Finance Trust.  BH Kellog LLC is headed by a repeat client of HFF’s and is a shopping center owner based out of Monsey, New York.  The borrower was represented by Chaim Dahan Esq.

Anchored by Hannaford Bros., the primary grocery store in the market, and Rite Aid, Hannaford Plaza is 87.3 percent leased to Dollar Tree, John Latini Salon, Charlie’s Pizza, Dapper Dan Dry Cleaners, Wasabe Wok,

 The Liquor Loft and Tanning Bed.  Located on 12.6 acres, the asset has room for future development, and the borrower plans to build up to 8,000 square feet on a future pad site and add 40,000 square feet of self storage space.

Rob Hinckley
 The property is located at 40 Kellogg Road just off State Route 8, a major north-south artery for the greater Utica region.  The asset is located within a residential area with approximately 96,000 households within five miles.

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by director Michael Klein and managing director Rob Hinckley.

“The borrower was seeking a short-term loan with prepayment flexibility that would enable them to acquire and stabilize the property by extending the grocer’s short-term lease while leasing up the existing vacant space and shoring up the near-term roll,” Klein said.

  “Realty Finance Trust provided a competitive and flexible loan structure that will enable BH Kellog LLC to execute its business plan and unlock the value of this property.”
