American Realty Advisors Acquires Industrial Asset in Central Pennsylvania’s I-81 Corridor

  

Warehouse-Distribution Property, 2 Ames Drive, Carlisle, PA

 

Michael HInes

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb.17, 2016 – American Realty Advisors announced the acquisition of a modern, cross-docked bulk warehouse/distribution property located at 2 Ames Drive in Carlisle, Penn. The Class A building, which encompasses 700,000 square feet on over 53 acres, is currently 100 percent leased to a Fortune 50 tenant through 2024.

According to Eric Cannon, American’s Senior Director, Investments, this acquisition will make a great addition to American’s industrial portfolio, as the purchase secures a high-quality, Class A property that features a significant amount of recently-added landlord and tenant improvements.

“This property is an ideal addition to our core industrial portfolio. The center’s great location in a key logistics market, its high quality construction, and the fact that it is fully leased long-term to a credit tenant are three factors that we believe will provide our investors with an attractive current income stream,” says Cannon.

The seller is a joint venture between Dermody Properties and PCCP, LLC, which was represented by Michael Hines and Brian Fiumara of CBRE National Partners.

The facility is located one mile from Interstate 81 at Exit 44 in Carlisle, which is widely considered the hub for super-regional bulk warehousing and distribution within the greater Central Pennsylvania region.

Cannon notes that “the I-78 / I-81 Industrial Corridor has exhibited significant net absorption in the past several years – over 20 million square feet of industrial space was leased from 2014 through mid-2015. 

"This area has become a Tier One East Coast inland market, with top industrial tenants including FedEx, Proctor & Gamble, Nordstrom, Georgia Pacific, and Walmart all occupying distribution space in the Corridor.” 

Brian Fiumara

“This facility provides its tenant easy access to the region’s transportation infrastructure, including highway, intermodal and parcel hubs, to cost effectively distribute goods throughout the entire Northeast region,” said Gene Preston, Partner, Dermody Properties East Region Office.

Acquired by Dermody Properties in 2012, with tenant improvements completed in late-2014, the property features 32’ clear height, full air conditioning, 481 car spaces, 149 trailer spaces, T-5 lighting, and 8,000 amps of power, and was designed and constructed to LEED core and shell standards.

Tenzer Attorneys Ari Tenzer and Adriana Blanco Maurisset Represent Owner of Planned Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo

Adriana Blanco Maurisset

MIAMI, FL —Feb. 16, 2016 -- Tenzer PLLC Member Ari M. Tenzer and Associate Adriana Blanco Maurisset have completed the successful negotiation of a hotel license and casino management agreement on behalf of the owner of the planned Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Construction of the 400-room hotel and state-of-the-art casino commenced with a February 9 groundbreaking ceremony attended by Dominican Republic President Danilo Medina.

Tenzer and Blanco Maurisset, who have extensive experience advising domestic and international clients in hospitality industry transactions, were the only outside counsel involved in the entire deal. 

The Miami-based law firm has represented the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo owner, a Cancun-based group with a vast portfolio of Hard Rock-branded hotel properties, in negotiating agreements for nearly all of its Hard Rock hotels in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo is the ownership group’s second property in the Dominican Republic. The group also developed and operates the 1,800-room Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana, one of the largest hotel and casino properties in the Caribbean. Tenzer also represented the group in negotiating and closing a license and casino management agreement for the Punta Cana property in 2009.

Ari Tenzer

“The Dominican Republic is unquestionably a very hot market for hospitality and gaming,” Tenzer said. “The ambitious Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo project underscores our client’s confidence in the market.

" Big international hotel brands are increasingly attracted to the nation as travelers realize Las Vegas and the Bahamas aren’t the only appealing options for upscale, non-cruise ship casinos with all of the popular gaming options.”

To complete the Santo Domingo deal, Tenzer and Blanco Maurisset negotiated five separate agreements, including the main hotel and casino agreements and three ancillary agreements for reservations, sales services and memorabilia. 

They coordinated with local representatives regarding compliance with regulatory requirements and entity formation, and negotiated protections against regulatory changes in the Dominican Republic that may affect the owner’s gaming license. 

They also ensured the hotel and casino agreements worked together while still separating the rights and obligations of the parties under each agreement.

Additionally, the land acquisition for the project required special attention given the desire was to get the deal papered with Hard Rock as quickly as possible, independent of the timing for the real estate closing; it’s a process that is both longer and more complex in civil law jurisdictions like the Dominican Republic than common law jurisdictions like the U.S.

  

Dominican Republic President Danilo Medina

“These kinds of deals are extremely sophisticated, especially when you have two different animals – the hotel and casino – as part of the deal,” Tenzer said. “It is paramount to carefully put the appropriate checks and balances in place to insulate our clients to the fullest extent possible.”

Scheduled for a late 2017 opening, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Santo Domingo will include 400 hotel rooms and suites and a 23,000-square-foot casino. It will also feature a screening room and nightclub that opens up to the main pool, along with 33,000 square feet of meeting space.

Ackerman & Co. to develop a one-million-square-foot, 40-foot clear height, bulk distribution center in Braselton, GA

 

Kris Miller

 Atlanta, GA – Ackerman & Co. announced it is developing a 1,000,480-square-foot bulk distribution center in Jackson County. 

This follows the company successfully securing two land parcels totaling 107 acres off of Broadway Avenue and BDC Parkway in Atlanta’s northeast industrial submarket – arguably the largest industrial tenant submarket in the Southeast. 

The land deal, acquired from Synovus Bank for $4.5 million, closed last Friday. 

“Buildings nearing or greater than one million square feet remain the most dynamic segment of the Atlanta industrial market,” said Kris Miller, President of Ackerman & Co.

 “Seven new leases have been signed in the last 14 months in these larger buildings. There is no uncommitted one-million-square-foot inventory remaining in all of Atlanta – Braselton Logistics Center will be one of a few, if not the only, to deliver in the next 12 months,” he added. 

Braselton Logistics Center is located less than 1.5 miles from I-85 and the Georgia Highway 211 Interchange, and is equidistant between two diamond interchanges (exits 126 and 129 off I-85). It is also surrounded by a diverse mix of existing tenants including Mizuno, Hitachi, Whole Foods Markets, Havertys, Carter’s and Kichler, to name a few. Braselton Logistics Center is strategically positioned for both local and regional distribution, and offers convenient amenities and proximity to a quality labor force.

Pat Chesser

The speculative bulk distribution center is slated to deliver in the first quarter of 2017. The cross-dock building will feature 40-foot clear heights, ductilcrete© floors, and heavy trailer and car parking. 

The development team includes architect Randall Paulson, civil engineer Elberly Associates and Conlan Company as general contractor.

“The merits of this site jump off the page for big-box distribution,” said Ackerman & Co. Senior Vice President Pat Chesser.

 “The Yates Group brought this tremendous opportunity to our attention and with exceptionally creative planning, we were able to proceed with this challenging site and still offer a competitive rate. 

"We assembled two parcels to slide and rotate the building and adjusted grades to avoid the sub-surface granite.”

Transwestern’s Julian Brown and Brett Buckner of Ackerman & Co. will spearhead leasing efforts at the property.
