HSA Commercial Real Estate Signs 56,592-SF Lease with Aerospace Firm Safran Nacelles at Gateway V Development Near Indianapolis Airport

Gateway V distribution center, 845 Airtech Parkway, Plainfield, IN

  
CHICAGO, IL and INDIANAPOLIS, IN (Sept. 11, 2019) — Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate today announced the firm has executed a 56,592-square-foot lease with Safran Nacelles Services Americas LLC (“Safran Nacelles”) at its Gateway V distribution center at 845 Airtech Parkway in Plainfield, Ind., near the Indianapolis International Airport. 

The Paris-based aerospace firm, which designs, integrates and ensures customer support and services for aircraft engine nacelle systems, entered into a 10-year lease and plans to take occupancy in December after relocating from a smaller facility in the market.

 Robert Smietana
The Safran Nacelles lease follows a separate 68,175-square-foot lease with LifeNet Health, a provider of transplant solutions. Executed in February 2019, it also has an initial term of 10 years.

“It’s rare to have industrial tenants sign 10-year leases as both LifeNet and Safran Nacelles have done at Gateway V,” said Robert Smietana, vice chairman and CEO of HSA Commercial Real Estate. 

“That really speaks volumes about each corporation’s long-term commitment to the Indianapolis market and the value they place on the development’s strategic location.”

Developed on a speculative basis, the 262,758-square-foot Gateway V distribution center features 32-foot clear heights, 30 truck docks (expandable), four drive-in doors, 185 parking stalls and 70 trailer positions. With the LifeNet and Safran Nacelles leases, the facility is now approximately 50% leased, with 137,991 square feet remaining.

Terry E. Busch 
HSA Commercial Real Estate has recently developed six buildings totaling approximately 900,000 square feet at the Gateway Business Park – most recently, the 151,200-square-foot Gateway IV building, completed in July 2017 and currently fully leased.

Terry Busch and Jared Scaringe of CBRE represented ownership in the lease transaction, and Savills brokers Zak Mirkowski and Taylor Wood represented Safran Nacelles.

JLL arranges financing for mixed-use Salt Lake City-area center


Holladay Marketplace, a 22,151-square-foot, fully leased, mixed-use retail and office property in Holladay, UT

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Sept. 10, 2019 JLL announces that it has secured permanent financing for Holladay Marketplace, a 22,151-square-foot, fully leased, mixed-use retail and office property in the suburban Salt Lake City community of Holladay, Utah.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Rockworth Companies, to secure the 15-year, sub-4.5%, non-recourse, fixed-rate loan with a national private debt fund. Loan proceeds will be used to repatriate owner equity on the recently constructed project that is already 100% leased.


Holladay Marketplace is part of the Holladay Village Square master-development, which was developed by the borrower in 2014 and awarded the 2018 Urban Design Utah Legacy Award for the thoughtful town center and plaza design. 

Featuring wood-frame construction with a brick, stucco and glazed-glass exterior, the two-story Holladay Marketplace is net leased to a diverse tenant mix that consists of four retail tenants on the main level and two office tenants on the second floor.

Located 10 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City, Holladay Marketplace is situated on 1.15 acres at 4667 South 2300 East in the heart of Holladay, one of Salt Lake City’s premier affluent submarkets. 

Mike White 

The property is in a highly coveted location within Salt Lake City’s Central East submarket and situated on a hard corner just south of the junction of Holladay’s two main thoroughfares, 4500 South and 2300 East. 

The property benefits from exposure from those two main streets as well as being surrounded by residential neighborhoods.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Mike White

“The unique attribute of this loan was the long-term, 15-year, fixed-rate structure open to prepayment any time after the second year,” White said. “The prepayment fee was fixed at a nominal amount and was not yield or defeasance driven. 

"This offered both long-term interest-rate protection and the flexibility of an affordable prepayment option if desired by a subsequent purchaser in future years. The investment objectives of the owners were perfectly optimized by this highly-unusual feature.”

Hotel Developer Urbanica The Hotels Expands Portfolio with $40 Million Acquisition of Last Undeveloped Beachfront Lot in North Beach, FL

MIAMI BEACH, FL —  Urbanica The Hotels’ young and thriving founders Diego Colmenero and Charlie Porchetto, have announced their latest acquisition of a $40 million undeveloped beachfront lot in North Beach, located at 6747 Collins Avenue

They purchased the 0.98-acre property from China City Construction (CCC) on Tuesday, August 27, with imminent plans to develop a 20-story, 200-room lifestyle hotel.

Slated to open in approximately two years, it will boast a signature restaurant helmed by the brand’s world renown partner, Chef Fernando Trocca; a swanky indoor bar, pool bar and unparalleled beach service, to name a few.

Chef Fernando Trocca
This slice of paradise was the last undeveloped beachfront lot in North Beach, located between the Deauville Beach Resort and Sterling Condominium buildings on Collins Avenue.

“We are eager to bring fresh new amenities and our distinct hospitality to this area,” says Colmenero. “Urbanica currently employs 200 people, and with our latest acquisitions we have aggressive plans to double our staff and bring new job opportunities to this community soon.”

The Meridian, 418 Meridian Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
Urbanica has been quickly expanding its portfolio in Miami since 2016.  The founders have a strong focus on the cultivation of its culinary offerings thanks to its executive chef partner Trocca, who they have enlisted to spearhead the development of the brand’s food & beverage projects.

“Urbanica was born out of an earnest desire to bring something new and different to the hospitality landscape,” says Porchetto. “Our mission is to make first-rate hospitality experiences accessible to everyone, with a keen focus on each individual guest.

Kaskades Hotel, 300 17th Street, Miami Beach, FL
"That’s why our team is constantly seeking new opportunities to fuse together the best in design, food, nightlife, location, and personalized guest experiences at a reasonable rate. This year has already been crucial for our brand, and we can finally see our mission put into action,” he adds.  
                                                            
After the success of The Meridian, an impeccably reimagined historic 1930s Art Deco hotel at 418 Meridian Avenue that houses a 71-room property, Regina’s Grocery, an Italian deli offering a New York-centric menu, and Minibar, an uber-chic speakeasy;

 Urbanica The Hotels is creating its own hospitality district in Miami Beach’s exclusive South of Fifth neighborhood with three more hotels. The elegantly remodeled pre-war Kaskades Hotel on 300 17th Street opened this summer, and is managed by Urbanica as an independent operation.

The Euclid Hotel, 426 Euclid Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
The boutique property boasts the brand’s signature contemporary cafĂ©, the Food Marchand, and by this fall, guests and locals will be able to enjoy fun barbeques and live music at the property’s inviting rooftop. 

The Euclid Hotel, located at 426 Avenue, is slated to open this October with 30 guestrooms and Orilla Bar and Grill, a culinary creation by the company’s executive chef Trocca, which will offer a full menu of South American and European inspired cuisine. 

The Fifth, on 803 Fifth Street, is slated to open in mid 2020 with 52 guestrooms, on-site parking, a pool and quaint restaurant.

The Fifth,  803 Fifth Street, Miami Beach, FL
The company’s expansion plans in Miami don’t stop there. The Biscayne, located at 3200 Biscayne Boulevard in the burgeoning Edgewater area, is scheduled to open in late 2020.

The hotel will boast breathtaking views of the bay and city, 200 guestrooms, parking, approximately 5,000 square-feet of retail space on the ground floor, and an expansive rooftop pool, restaurant, bar and game room.

The entertainment room located on the 20th floor will feature numerous activations each month, such as live music, art shows and parties with world-renowned DJs.

The Biscayne, 3200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL
Urbanica is expanding its portfolio to have unique propositions in different locations for its distinct audiences. Even though the brand is growing quickly, the company always keeps in mind its mission and ethos.

“We see Miami as the world’s next great metropolis, and our goal is to enrich the lives of both visitors and locals,” said Colmenero and Porchetto. “We have been visiting Miami since our childhoods and are drawn to city’s multi-cultural energy, scenic vistas and cool vibe.

"Our goal is to create warm, friendly and attentive environments in Miami’s hippest neighborhoods, where our guests feel immediately at home.”
