MCA Realty Acquires 350,000-SF Multi-tenant Industrial Asset in Las Vegas, NV for $42 Million


Equus Business Center, Las Vegas, NV

Tyler Mattox

LAS VEGAS, NV – MCA Realty, a full-service real estate investment and management company based in Orange County, California, has acquired Equus Business Center, a 357,608 square-foot multi-tenant industrial property in Las Vegas, Nevada in an off-market transaction for $42 million.

MCA Realty plans to rebrand the property as Central Seven Commerce Center.

Located just over a mile from the Las Vegas Strip, a multi-tenant industrial property of this scale and caliber is a rare find, according to Tyler Mattox, Principal at MCA Realty.


“Multi-tenant industrial assets are typically very expensive to build so there is little new development in the sector, especially as construction costs continue to increase,” explains Mattox.


Dan Doherty
 “Because the cost to build is so high, it is also very uncommon to find multi-tenant industrial assets as large as 350,000+ square feet and ones that occupy a full square block.

"This property is a valuable addition to our portfolio and will continue to benefit from this sector’s diminishing supply and the asset’s location and proximity to the Las Vegas Strip.”

The business center is currently 89 percent occupied by a diverse range of more than 170 tenants.


Gabe Telles
“We plan to stabilize the rent roll, as well as bring current rents up to today’s market value,” says Mattox. “From opening of escrow, net operating income has increased by more than $200,000.”

According to Mattox, the asset’s location near the Strip acts as a major point of attraction for tenants as many of its existing tenants service the Strip, which is an epicenter for billions of dollars in business each year.


“The property will also benefit from future development in the region such as the new Raiders Stadium and the surrounding development that will come with this $1.9 billion project,” says Mattox.

Ali Roesener 

 “We feel that we understand the Las Vegas market and have been extremely active in the region for several years. We were one of the first buyers to buy multi-tenant assets in the area after the downturn.


Frank Gatski 
"Since then, we’ve acquired more than 20 properties and now own more than 1.25 million square feet in the region.”

MCA Realty plans to implement some interior and exterior renovations to the property including new paint, landscaping, and improved signage, among others.

The property is located at 3400 Desert Inn, 3110-3230 Polaris Avenue, and 3401 Sirius Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada.

 Dan Doherty of Colliers International and Gabe Telles and Ali Roesener of Gatski Commercial represented MCA Realty as the buyer. Frank Gatski of Gatski Commercial represented the seller, a private investor.


Chris Lane


MCA Realty also sold the final unit in its Wigwam Jones Industrial Park asset in the Southwest submarket of Las Vegas.

The 7,182 square-foot unit was sold for $1.075 million and was one of 11 condominium units previously acquired by MCA in 2014 for $6.4 million. 

 Upon its initial acquisition, MCA finalized the parcel map and subdivision of the units and began its planned fractional disposition of the asset. 


The sale of the final unit located at 5945-2 W. Wigwam Avenue brings the total sales price of the asset to $10.48 million. 


Jerry Doty
MCA would like to thank Dan Doherty, Chris Lane and Jerry Doty of Colliers International and Marc Magliarditi of LOGIC Commercial Real Estate for their work on this transaction.

Daum Commercial Completes $3 Million Sale of Office and Airport Hangar Property Totaling 16,900 SF in Scottsdale, AZ


16,900-SF Building at 16009 North 81st Street in Scottsdale, AZ
Offers Office Space and Airport Hangar


SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Aug. 14, 2019 – DAUM Commercial Real Estate Services has directed the sale of a 16,900 square-foot building, featuring office space and an airport hangar, on 1.4 acres of land in the Scottsdale Airpark submarket of Scottsdale, Arizona, on behalf of both the buyer and the seller.  

The building is located at 16009 N. 81st Street. The total purchase price was approximately $3.3 million.
  
Kirk Jenkins
DAUM’s Executive Vice President and Phoenix Co-Branch Manager Kirk Jenkins represented the buyer, Scottsdale Airpark, LLC. Executive Vice President Steve Bodeman represented the seller, Kachina Investments, LLC, in the off-market transaction.

“This was a rare opportunity for the buyer to bolster their portfolio with a signature acquisition in a premier greater Phoenix area location,” explains Jenkins, noting that Scottsdale Airpark is seeing an influx of new construction, and thriving companies in the submarket are anticipated to add a significant number of jobs in the coming months.

“In addition to establishing a foothold in the Scottsdale Airpark submarket, the new owner will benefit from strong immediate cashflow, since the multi-tenant asset is fully leased to several diverse businesses.”

The building, comprised of two stories of garden-style office space and an attached aircraft hangar, is also a prime asset due to its direct taxiway access, he continues.

Steve Bodeman 
Bodeman adds: “We helped Kachina Investments purchase this property in 2006.

"After holding the property for more than a decade, the firm strategically determined to sell in order to capitalize on increased market demand, indicated by post-recession-low vacancies.”

He notes that the building, which was originally constructed in 2000, has been very well maintained and both the exterior and interior were recently painted. 

This was appealing to the buyer and helped secure a competitive price for the seller, compared to other properties of this vintage in the submarket.

“While this was a win-win for both parties, as with any transaction, the process required strategic negotiations,” Jenkins says. “DAUM’s long-standing relationships with both the buyer and seller, as well as our deep knowledge and experience in the submarket, uniquely positioned us to bring everyone together and come to a satisfying conclusion.”

George Oliver and Kootenay Holdings Partner on New North Scottsdale, AZ Office Lofts


Shanni Eckford

PHOENIX, AZ, Aug. 13, 2019 – A brand new loft-style office project is coming to North Scottsdale, courtesy of Phoenix-based commercial real estate investment and operating company George Oliver and Vancouver-based Kootenay Holdings.

Called Lofts at The District, the project will target small- to mid-size tenants with high-end, innovative office space reflective of the creativity found in other George Oliver developments.

Curt Kremer
Located just east of the popular Scottsdale Quarter open-air retail center near Scottsdale Road and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, Lofts at The District will convert existing – but underutilized – high-end commercial space into five upscale office suites identified as the East Loft and West Loft, and ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 square feet.

The second-floor suites will serve as building bookends, featuring a mix of 12-foot ceilings and 20-foot vaulted peaks with dramatic window lines that offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Upon delivery, all suites at Lofts at The District will also be move-in-ready, complete with high-end finishes and professionally designed modern interiors as reflected in the project’s virtual tour.


 Ryan Timpani
“Many businesses in North Scottsdale cater to the area’s high-net-worth demographic, creating an ongoing need for mid-size, upscale office space,” said Shanni Eckford, President of Kootenay Holdings.

“Lofts at The District fits that demand perfectly and George Oliver is the obvious partner to give the project the polished, innovative touches that tenants in the area are looking for.”

“Our team is excited about the new partnership with Kootenay Holdings and feel this project will align seamlessly with our repositioning strategy,” said George Oliver Founder and Managing Partner Curt Kremer.

 “Tenants across the Valley want workspace that reflects a dynamic company culture and image. Lofts at The District fulfills that requirement and allows tenants to locate and grow their companies here in Scottsdale.”

Lofts at The District is surrounded by millions of square feet of popular retail, restaurant and multifamily development, including The Promenade, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter.

It also sits at the center of a highly educated labor pool, drawing employees from Scottsdale and its neighboring cities.

Nick Bialkowski

Construction at Lofts at the District is scheduled to begin this month and complete before the end of the year.

 Ryan Timpani and Nick Bialkowski at Colliers International serve as the project’s exclusive leasing brokers. RSG Builders is the general contractor.

Upon delivery, Lofts at The District will join a growing list of George Oliver projects including The Quad in Scottsdale, CASA in Phoenix’s booming Uptown neighborhood, Junction 23 in the RiNo arts district of Denver and Upcycle, located in the trendy Eastside submarket in Austin.

MANHATTAN, NY -- The poster family for America’s 1%, the Vanderbilts lived lavishly from wealth accumulated from the railroad business during the Gilded Age, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

Cornelius “Commodore” Vanderbilt

 A Dutch family led by Cornelius “Commodore” Vanderbilt, he started the massive fortune by borrowing $100 to begin ferrying passengers from Long Island to Manhattan.

Ralph Lauren

He eventually went into railroads and his success created wealth of historical proportions. Though the third generation began to see a decline in fortune, heiress and successful fashion-designer Gloria Vanderbilt was a pioneer in a new family work ethic which was handed down to her son, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.

Yoko Ono
Much admired, Gloria Vanderbilt recently passed away at the age of 95. The elegant Manhattan mansion still known as the Vanderbilt Mansion, where Gloria Vanderbilt lived as a child before her mother took her to live in Paris, is now for sale priced at $50 million.


John Lennon
Originally built by Robert B. Lynd in 1891 and restyled in 1905 by William Strom, the seven-story townhouse is located at one of Manhattan’s most-sought-after addresses on East 72nd Street. 
Leonard Bernstein

Designed in Néo-Grec style, the 18,408-square-foot townhouse 

is 27-feet wide with 12 bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms, three powder rooms and approximately 1,500 square feet of outdoor space. 

Margaux Hemmingway

Rooms have 12-foot ceilings and there are three gas fireplaces. Enviably located between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue, it is a stone’s throw to Central Park in a neighborhood awash with art galleries and boutique shops. 

Joan Fontaine


Currently divided into three luxury condos with multiple options for reconfiguration, the townhouse was again restyled and updated in 2018 by CetraRuddy using marble and many elegant finishes, flooring, lighting and the best appliances. 


 Dorothy Parker 

The units could be combined as one residence, two rented with one owner occupied or one occupied, one as guest accommodations and one as staff quarters. The three units can be purchased together or purchased separately.


John Steinbeck
East 72nd Street has long attracted celebrities in the arts and fashion-design world. Ralph Lauren moved there in 2010, Yoko Ono still lives in the same apartment she shared with John Lennon; Leonard Bernstein, Margaux Hemmingway, Joan Fontaine, Dorothy Parker and John Steinbeck have all called East 72nd Street home.



Lauren Muss

 Though many of the street’s Gilded Age mansions have been torn down to accommodate exclusive apartment blocks, the sandstone Vanderbilt mansion, as it is still referred to today, is a beautifully kept building that blends attractively with its neighbors.
A townhouse steeped in Gilded Age history of industrial wealth and former home to one of America’s well-known families is now for sale, priced at $50 million for the building or priced separately as three individual apartments.

The listing agent is Lauren Muss of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Madison Avenue office.
