$4.95 million sale of multi-housing development site in Charlotte, NC closed by HFF team


Rendering of planned development site in South End Market, Charlotte, NC

 
Justin Good
CHARLOTTE, NC, Dec. 12, 2016 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that its Carolinas investment sales team has closed the $4.95 million sale of a development site totaling 1.56 acres in Charlotte’s South End submarket.

HFF managing director Justin Good and director Allan Lynch, formerly of Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, worked alongside managing director Bill Simerville and senior vice president Brian Craver of Foundry Commercial to market the offering on behalf of two separate clients.

 A 0.91-acre parcel was marketed on behalf of Pepsi Bottling Ventures and a 0.65-acre parcel was marketed on the McRee family’s behalf.  Bainbridge Companies (Bainbridge) purchased the adjacent sites free and clear of existing debt.

 Prior to the sale, Bainbridge successfully rezoned both sites to TOD-RO (Transit-Oriented Development – Residential Optional) due to the proximity to the New Bern light rail station. 

The sites are situated between the 2600 and 2700 block of South Boulevard at the intersection of Poindexter Drive in Charlotte’s high-growth South End area.  The parcels are located across Poindexter Drive from a 5.21-acre mixed-use development site the team brokered to Lennar Multifamily Communities earlier this fall.

Allan Lynch
 A five-story, podium-style multi-housing property with 200 rental units above a two-story parking garage is planned for the combined 1.56-acre parcel.  

The property fronts the Charlotte Rail Trail and will feature a courtyard at the corner of South and Poindexter as well as a decorative accent at the entrance from the Rail Trail’s 4.5 miles of public trails that wind through the heart of the city connecting neighborhoods such as Sedgefield, Southside Park, Brookhill, Dilworth and Wilmore to Uptown.

“Bainbridge was attracted to the South End’s robust residential fundamentals as the area continues to thrive and diversify into a multi-faceted urban node,” stated Good.

 “The community is designed to intertwine the public linkages with common area gathering spaces to emphasize the site’s key position along the light-rail line and the Rail Trail.”

. HFF arranges $13 million refinancing for historic Denver Dry Goods Building in downtown Denver, CO


 
Denver Dry Goods Building, 700  16th Street, Downtown Denver, CO

Leon McBroom
DENVER, CO –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it  has arranged a $13 million refinancing for the Denver Dry Goods Building, an 84,495-square-foot, fully-leased retail and office building designated as a Historic Landmark in downtown Denver, Colorado.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Jonathan Rose Companies, to secure the 10-year, fixed-rate loan with Unum Life Insurance Company of America.  HFF will service the loan, proceeds of which will be used to refinance an existing loan.

Constructed in 1888, the historic Denver Dry Goods building (Denver Dry) served as the retail heart of downtown Denver as the city’s premier department store.  

After the store closed almost 100 years after opening, the borrower purchased the property and reimagined and redeveloped the 350,000-square-foot building into a vibrant mixed-use retail, office and multi-housing project. 

The result was space that was subdivided into smaller condominium units, while meticulously preserving the historic integrity of the red brick, sandstone and lime structure and maintaining the original 18’ ceilings along the window walls and other significant areas.

Kristian Lichtenfels
The Denver Dry Goods Building refinancing comprises four commercial condominium units on the lower, first and second levels of the larger, mixed-use, six-story residential commercial building. 

Completed in 1889, the building is connected via a third-floor pedestrian bridge to a 500-stall parking structure located adjacent to the building.  

Tenants include T.J. Maxx, Visit Denver Center, Jason’s Deli, Starbucks, Denver Urban Renewal Authority, the Aveda Institute and Yuthok Jewelry.

 The Denver Dry Goods Building is situated on 1.15 acres at 700 16th Street in the heart of Denver’s CBD.  The building has frontage along the 16th Street Mall, a 1.25 mile long pedestrian and transit mall in downtown Denver, and is exposed to more than 30,000 pedestrians daily.  Additionally, the property is situated at the inboard light rail stop and half a block away from the outbound stop.

“In 1992, Jonathan Rose’s redevelopment of the Denver Dry was a catalytic project for the revitalization of downtown Denver,” said Chuck Perry, managing member of Rose Companies Management, which provides in-house property and asset management services to Jonathan Rose Companies and its affiliates.

Chuck J. Perry
 “After the Denver Dry was completed, 20 other downtown historic buildings were redeveloped with the same financing model.  It was a pleasure to work with the HFF and UNUM teams to refinance the Denver Dry and to continue our commitment to this project. 

" HFF brought us a significant number of financing options, and UNUM was selected as the lender of choice with the most competitive refinancing offer.”
  
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by associate directors Leon McBroom and Kristian Lichtenfels.

“Kristian and I, as natives to Denver, feel particularly privileged to work on such a historic asset,” McBroom said.  “It’s a beautiful building and it benefits from a compassionate ownership group that will continue its storied history for at least another 10 years at the helm.”

FLORHAM PARK, NJ –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has arranged $12.2 million in construction financing to reposition a light industrial building into a 1,246-unit, Class A self storage facility in Totowa, New Jersey.

HFF worked on behalf of the developer, a joint venture partnership between Tulfra Real Estate and The Hampshire Companies, to place the construction loan with M&T Bank. 

Tulfra purchased the larger 225,336-square-foot light industrial building, which was 46 percent leased at the time of purchase in February 2015 at a substantial discount.  Tulfra has since created significant value by subdividing the facility into three condominium units.

The future two-story self storage facility will comprise 1,235 climate- and 11 non-climate controlled units situated in 105,536 square feet of the light industrial building at 930 North Riverview Drive.

 The facility will be situated at a signalized intersection along North Riverview Drive within a densely-populated residential and commercial area within the Passaic County Self Storage submarket.

 The property’s location provides immediate access to Route 46, one of the primary east-west arteries and retail corridors in the region.  There are more than 90,640 residents living within a three-mile radius of the property, with a 1.25 percent growth to 91,775 residents projected by 2020.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Jon Mikula and managing director Michael Klein.
