Park Tower Renovations Underway;Tampa, FL Building Experiences Strong Leasing Momentum

Rendering of Park Tower, Downtown Tampa, FL

  TAMPA, FL – 2017 was a good year for Tampa’s Park Tower. A new ownership group consisting of City Office REIT, Feldman Equities LLC and Tower Realty Partners commenced a multi-million dollar renovation at Park Tower to be completed this summer.

Mike DiBlasi

Since acquiring Park Tower, eleven new tenants have leased space at the building. Mike DiBlasi, Feldman Equities Executive Vice President for Leasing and Marketing expects 2018 to be even better.

“The renovation announcement really jump-started our leasing efforts in 2017,” said DiBlasi. The largest of those deals was a 10,500 square foot lease with CAPTRUST Advisors, LLC to relocate their headquarters to the building.

In 2017, DiBlasi and Leasing Representative Ceci Tricoli leased over 44,000 square feet of new space before renovations began, and have signed proposals in-hand for an additional 15,000 square feet.

The ownership group successfully converted an empty 14,685 square foot full floor to move-in ready spec suites ranging in size from 1,500 square feet to 3,500 square feet. The suites have been quickly absorbed by the market. 

“We hope to convert another floor to move-in ready suites this year -- unless of course, a full floor user sweeps in first.” said DiBlasi. “Once the renovations are completed this summer, including the addition of a swanky new Buddy Brew Coffee café in the lobby, Park Tower will be more than 90% leased for the first time in over a decade.”

Ceci Tricoli

DiBlasi expects the renovations and spectacular views of Hillsborough Bay, the Hillsborough River and the Downtown Tampa skyline to advance the quick lease-up of the building’s remaining office space.

 “We have had tremendous success leasing up our past projects after completing our renovations - current occupancy is over 97%. Park Tower should be similarly successful. This is a great opportunity for tenants of all sizes to move into the heart of downtown,” said DiBlasi.

In November 2016, a joint venture partnership consisting of City Office REIT, Feldman Equities LLC and Tower Realty Partners acquired Park Tower.

New leases signed include the headquarters relocation of CAPTRUST Advisors, LLC, Buddy Brew Coffee and Continuity Logic, LLC. The building is anchored by BB&T, United States Department of Justice – US Attorney’s Office, Level 3 Communications, and Lykes Insurance.

The most significant change underway at Park Tower is the modernization and brightening of the 475,000 square foot office building’s façade by painting the exterior white and upgrading the main entrance.

The building’s amenities are also being upgraded with a modern, new lobby and the addition of Buddy Brew Coffee café.  The office tower’s design was created by internationally-renowned architect Gensler.

In the works are new tenant amenities, including:

·         High-end, Buddy Brew Coffee, lobby café with seating

·         6th floor “Chill Zone” tenant lounge

·         All new fitness center and yoga room with spin bikes

·         Shared tenant conference room

·         New lobby concierge desk

·         Renovated parking garage with new LED lighting

 Park Tower is located in the heart of downtown Tampa directly across from The Tampa Riverwalk & Hillsborough River; Curtis Hixon and Gaslight Parks; and the Glazer Children’s Museum and the Tampa Museum of Art.

Park Tower Renovations Underway;Tampa, FL Building Experiences Strong Leasing Momentumnvention Center, University of Tampa, and the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts. The tower is LEED EB Gold Certified and EPA Energy Star certified.

 The tower’s current amenities include FedEx Office, U.S. Post Office, BB&T Bank, Grow Financial Credit Union, Pearl Salon, Nature’s Table Café, and a fitness center and conference room (currently undergoing renovation).

HFF closes sale and arranges joint venture for development of 104,500 SF Mission Viejo Medical Center in Southern California

                         Mission Viejo Medical Center, Mission Viejo, CA

SAN DIEGO, CA – Jan. 17, 2018 – HFF announces that it has closed the partial interest forward sale and arranged the full capital stack of joint venture equity and financing for the construction of the ground up development of Mission Viejo Medical Center, a fully-approved, 104,500-square-foot, Class A medical office building situated on the southeast parking field of the Shops at Mission Viejo, a Simon-owned super regional mall, and just steps from the main entrance of Providence St. Joseph’s 523-bed Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California. 

Aldon Cole

The HFF team served as an advisor to the seller, NCA Real Estate, a Newport Beach, California-based developer, in order to explore strategic options including construction financing, joint venture equity partnerships and a forward sale. 

Ultimately, Welltower, Inc. (NYSE: HCN) agreed to purchase the developer’s interest and also provide equity and debt capital to the new partnership.

“The HFF team has been a valuable advisor to NCA as the project has evolved over the past several years, and the insights and advice they provided were critical in the successful capitalization of the project,” said David Zak, managing partner of NCA.

Mission Viejo Medical Center (“MVMC”) was conceptualized by NCA more than eight years ago when it commenced negotiations to acquire the mall site.  NCA recognized the synergies between retail and medical office projects and focused on an underutilized part of the mall. 

Olga Walsh

It is anticipated that the new project will bring substantial economic benefit to the mall from the patients and employees that will be brought to the mall each day and the mall will serve as a strong amenity to the project. 

NCA’s development team, led by Dana Whitmer, overcame numerous obstacles to close on the site and gain the necessary entitlements to construct the project, and the finished product will be well worth the effort.

Evan Kovac

MVMC will be the first on-campus medical office building constructed in South Orange County in over 10 years.  Upon completion in 2019, MVMC will be completely occupied by Mission Hospital and will include a comprehensive cancer center, medical imaging suite, endoscopy center and other significant outpatient services. 

 Designed from the ground up to be a best-in-class facility, MVMC is at the front door of the region’s pre-eminent hospital and ideally situated to serve a rapidly growing population. 

The building’s functional design was guided by HGA Architects and Engineers and emphasizes flexibility and efficiency.  The project is being constructed by Snyder Langston who has been an invaluable resource to NCA throughout the design and engineering process.

The HFF medical office investment advisory team representing the seller consisted of managing director Evan Kovac, director Andrew Milne and senior associate Trent Jemmett. 

The HFF debt placement team included senior director Zach Koucos, senior associate Olga Walsh and senior managing director Aldon Cole. 

“NCA and Welltower worked diligently throughout the complicated process, often under compressed timeframes, to see this deal come to fruition.  Once completed, MVMC will be one of the pre-eminent on-campus MOBs in the United States,” Kovac said.

HFF announces $26.715 million construction loan for adaptive re-use project in Nashville, TN

Daniel Kaufman

CHICAGO, IL – Jan. 17, 2018 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces a $26.715 million construction loan for the adaptive re-use of the former May Hosiery textile mill in Nashville, Tennessee.

The HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, Chicago-based AJ Capital Partners, to secure the two-year, floating-rate loan through LoanCore Capital.  Loan proceeds will be used for the renovation and the remaining lease-up of the property.

Originally built in 1909, the 120,000-square-foot facility was home to May Hosiery, which made socks for most of the twentieth century.  The property was mostly vacant for the last three decades and is now being redeveloped into a vibrant mixed-use property featuring 80,000 square feet of creative office space and 40,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. 

 The project also includes a private rooftop terrace and central outdoor spaces.  At the time of closing, May Hosiery was 47 percent pre-leased to Tuck-Hinton Architects, Southcomm Media, Dream Technologies, Parson’s Chicken and Fish, and Blockhouse Barbers. 

Christopher Knight

The development is located at 425-431 Chestnut Street and 510 Houston Street in the dynamic Wedgewood Houston neighborhood, which has become one of Nashville’s fastest growing mixed-use communities.   

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included managing director Danny Kaufman and director Christopher Knight. 

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with the team at AJ Capital and LoanCore on this financing,” said Kaufman.  “AJ consistently creates successful and totally authentic real estate projects that capture the spirit of their locations.  It is very special to be part of their creative process.”

“The May Hosiery project is well conceived and will satisfy growing demand for innovative office and dynamic retail / entertainment space in Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston neighborhood,” added Knight.

AJ Capital Partners is a dynamic private equity investment and development organization with a portfolio of lifestyle hotel, luxury resort, and mixed-use assets across North America.

 Founded in 2008 by Ben Weprin, the company’s core competency is the creation of distinctive, locally-inspired properties set in high growth and high culture environments with diverse demand generators.  

Ben Weprin

Its experienced team leverages their hospitality-centric approach to design, programming, and place-making to drive long-term value creation in timeless real estate. 

The company has specific expertise in the execution of major adaptive re-use projects with historical significance, repositioning of existing assets, and ground-up development in U.S cities and university towns.
