HOUSTON, TX – JLL Capital Markets announced it has closed the sale and arranged acquisition financing for Rayford Village, a 19,950-square-foot, fully leased retail center in the north Houston-area suburb of Spring, Texas.

 JLL marketed the properties on behalf of the seller, BNS Rayford Partners, LP, represented by Adam Soffar and Rob Naggar. Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, JLL placed the 10-year, fixed-rate acquisition loan with First Community Credit Union.

Lincoln Property Co. Enters Nevada Market with Major Industrial Portfolio Buy; Six-building Hughes Airport Center positions LPC in the heart of Las Vegas

Barbara Emmons Perrier

LAS VEGAS, NV – Ramping up a strategic expansion effort, the Desert West Region of Lincoln Property Company (LPC) has purchased its first-ever asset in Nevada.

Called Hughes Airport Center, the industrial portfolio totals 425,752 square feet and six buildings within the desirable Las Vegas airport submarket.

                                  Darla Longo

At 98 percent occupancy, Hughes Airport Center is located in one of the most supply-restricted submarkets in Las Vegas. It is part of the larger 3.3 million-square-foot Hughes Airport Center master planned business park, which includes office and industrial product across 420 acres.

David Krumwiede.

“The fundamentals that attracted us to Hughes Airport Center are the same that are driving our regional expansion strategy,” said Lincoln Property Company Executive Vice President David Krumwiede.

“Our focus is on maximining the opportunities of the Desert West, which ranks near the top in the nation for population growth, quality of life, workforce, infrastructure and strong and steady demand.”

LPC’s Desert West Region includes Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. The company is focused on growing their footprint in each of these states, expanding an already award-winning presence in Arizona that includes almost 6 million square feet of development, more than 10 million square feet of acquisitions and 7 million square feet of office, industrial and retail product currently under management.

 John Orsak

“Between its diverse occupancy, location and quality, the Hughes Airport asset fits perfectly within our existing portfolio,” said LPC Vice President of Real Estate John Orsak.

“It represents some of the best industrial product in Las Vegas and a level of stability that will return value across market cycles.”

The Hughes Airport Center portfolio is located at 890 and 950 Pilot Road; 111, 1151 and 1181 Grier Drive; and 6700 Paradise Road. It sits within the Las Vegas infill Airport submarket, where vacancy is just 1.6 percent and there is minimal new construction activity due to lack of land.

Kevin Higgins

Unit sizes within the Hughes Airport portfolio range from 4,352 to 86,674 square feet, with the ability to support a range of uses including distribution, warehouse, office and flex.

Tenants at Hughes Airport Center enjoy 3.5 acres of on-site parking and near-immediate access to McCarran International Airport, I-215 and I-15, making the project equidistant from the area’s major employment bases.

CBRE’s National Partners Team, led by Darla Longo and Barbara Emmons, represented the seller.

Hughes Airport Center Aerial, Las Vegas, NV

 CBRE’s Kevin Higgins is the exclusive leasing broker. LPC will lead all property management services for the asset in partnership with its affiliate, Lincoln Harris.

LPC continues to actively evaluate new commercial real estate investment and development opportunities across the Desert West region.

Matt Wirth,

ATLANTA, GA – JLL Capital Markets announced it has closed the sale of PVH Distribution Center, a fully leased, 851,349-square-foot, Class A warehouse and distribution facility leased to an investment-grade tenant in the metro Atlanta community of McDonough, Georgia. 

 JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller. FHR Capital, LLC, on behalf of an unnamed institutional investor, purchased the asset.

 Completed in 2006, PVH Distribution Center is triple net leased to PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH), one of the largest fashion and lifestyle companies in the world with $9.7 billion in revenue in 2018 and a current investment grade credit rating of Baa3 'Stable' from Moody’s.

Dennis Mitchell

Situated at 127 Liberty Industrial Parkway, PVH Distribution Center is 37 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta and adjacent to Interstate 75, one of Atlanta’s critical industrial corridors.

The property’s McDonough location allows it to draw from a strong local labor force and provides easy access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which is 23 miles away, and the Port of Savannah, which is 218 miles away. PVH has occupied the facility since 2010.

 The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Matt Wirth, Dennis Mitchell, Britton Burdette and Crosby Taylor.

 “This transaction is really a testament to the quality of buyer and seller involved,” Wirth said. “Each side navigated the current market conditions with a collaborative and sensible mindset and executed flawlessly to bring the transaction to fruition.”
