SVN | Chicago Commercial Named Second-Highest-Earning Office in Sperry Van Ness International Network

Al Stepan

CHICAGO (April 15, 2016) - SVN | Chicago Commercial today announced it was named the second-highest-revenue-grossing office in the SVN network for 2015, marking the third consecutive year the Chicago office has ranked in the top three among the network’s 200 international franchises.

The Chicago office, which posted year-over-year revenue growth of six percent, was recognized at the full-service brokerage firm’s national conference, held in San Diego this past February.

Additionally, Chicago Managing Director Al Stepan was named “Innovator of the Year” by his SVN peers.

 “We are thrilled to again be recognized as a top-producing office within the SVN network,” said Michael Thanasouras, managing director at SVN | Chicago Commercial. “We take pride in fostering an environment that encourages individual and collective success, and this award is a testament to the tireless efforts of the talented professionals who comprise our entrepreneurial team.” 

Michael Thanasouras

Contributing to SVN | Chicago Commercial’s strong performance in 2015 were a rising number of middle-market transactions, particularly in secondary and tertiary markets across the country where prices have been slower to appreciate, fueling investment activity.

 In addition to transactions throughout the Chicago area, the firm executed deals in cities like Denver, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Omaha, Phoenix and Miami.

“Across all markets, we are seeing an uptick in deals between $2 million and $10 million, with most Chicago-area activity focused on the multifamily sector,” said Thanasouras, 

“We’re also seeing some growth in office and industrial – including velocity in the suburbs – as well as the return of land deals in the city as transit-oriented developments heat up.”

CHICAGO (April 19, 2016) – The Habitat Company, a leading multifamily developer and manager in the United States and the largest property manager for the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), announced it has assumed management of three North Side communities totaling 111 units on behalf of the CHA.

The three properties, which were acquired by the CHA in March 2016, include the 41-unit Crowder Place at 3801 N. Pine Grove Ave., the 37-unit Mulvey Place at 416 W. Barry Ave., both in the Lakeview neighborhood, and the 33-unit Devon Place at 1950 W. Devon Ave. in the West Ridge community.

“Our long history in both the development and management of public and senior housing, as well as our long-standing relationship with the CHA, allows us to truly understand the needs of both the CHA and its residents,” said Matt Fiascone, president of The Habitat Company.

 “With more than 5,000 CHA units under management, we were able to address the needs of both the CHA and its residents and provide them with a seamless transition.”

“We’ve experienced a number of people moving from downtown Class A, high-rise apartments with five-star common-area amenities to Madison Throop Place, and its sister building Jackson Throop Place.

“These sophisticated renters prefer to live in – and pay for – a more refined and graciously designed home with the luxury interior features and finishes they’ll enjoy on a daily basis, rather than a rental tower with amenities they rarely use.”

Lincoln Property Co. Secures SAP as First Tenant; Breaks Ground on The Grand at Papago Park Center in Tempe, AZ

David Krumwiede

TEMPE, AZ– Just as it breaks ground on the first building at The Grand at Papago Park Center in Tempe, Arizona, Lincoln Property Company (LPC) has secured a pre-lease commitment from a major first tenant: leading enterprise application software company SAP America (NYSE: SAP).

SAP is currently located in the Scottsdale Galleria, but will relocate to the first building at The Grand at Papago Park Center as it is completed in January 2017. SAP will occupy the top floor.

The first building totals four stories and 213,056 square feet. It is part of the larger The Grand at Papago Park Center, a major urban mixed-use project by master developer Papago Park Center, Inc.

At build-out, the development will total 60 acres and 3.2 million square feet of mixed-use office, multifamily, hotel, retail and restaurant space surrounding a substantial central water feature. 

It will also provide approximately one-half mile of freeway frontage to the Loop 202/Red Mountain Freeway between Priest Road and Center Parkway.

LPC, with Goldman Sachs, are developing the Phase I office component, which will include 1.8 million square feet of Class A office space in seven buildings. Construction on three parking garages will coincide with the buildings’ development.

“Signing a major tenant like SAP prior to start of construction proves what we already knew – that this is a premier project on a tremendously well-located site,” said Lincoln Property Company’s Executive Vice President David Krumwiede.

“Tenants are still showing a very clear demand for innovative, Class A office product in environments like Tempe. The Grand was designed with this unique mix in mind, and it’s ready to capture the next wave of requirements.”
