Native Realty Hired to Market Downtown Fort Lauderdale, FL Property with Significant Development Potential


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, July 20, 2020 – Native Realty, the pioneering Fort Lauderdale-based commercial real estate firm, is marketing one of the last development sites on downtown Fort Lauderdale’s Federal Highway corridor for $12.5 million.





Firm Founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis is listing the 150 N. Federal Hwy. property.

 The 0.78-acre site is walking distance to many of the city’s most popular bars and restaurants on Las Olas Boulevard and in Flagler Village. It is just down the street from Virgin Trains USA’s Fort Lauderdale station.

Existing zoning potentially allows for hotel with up to 212 rooms, residential with up to 109 units or a 12-story mixed-use development.

 “You could not ask for a more well-positioned development site at the gateway to downtown Fort Lauderdale,” Sturgis said. “We anticipate substantial interest in this offering given the scarcity of such properties in the city’s urban core.”

150 North  Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Sturgis and Native’s Dan Ross are also exclusively marketing one of the last available land assemblages in Flagler Village. The 600, 614 and 618 NE Third Ave. and 313 NE Sixth St. assemblage is priced at $7.7 million and has zoning that allows for a wide variety of development up to 150 feet.

NAI Hiffman Completes Six Office Leases at 26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield in Chicago Suburb of Oak Brook, IL

 26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield, a 45-unit office building located at 2625 Butterfield Road in Oak Brook,IL, in suburban Chicago.


Ryan Maher
OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL, July 20, 2020 — NAI Hiffman, the largest independent commercial real estate services firm in the Midwest, today announced it has completed six office leases totaling almost 45,000 square feet at 26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield, a 45-unit office building located at 2625 Butterfield Road in Oak Brook, Ill., in suburban Chicago.

Ryan Maher, senior associate with NAI Hiffman’s Office Services Group, along with executive vice presidents Dan O’Neill and Adam Johnson, represented building owner Clear Height Properties in lease negotiations with six tenants.


Daniel (Dan) O'Neill
 They are Apple Recovery Services Corp., The Centers for Family Change, Quattro Business Services, Medulla, Re-Direct Financial Services, Inc., and MedOP Solutions.

“26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield has been completely renovated from top to bottom; the number one driver of new or extended leases has been the building’s new amenities, which offer a fresh look with a downtown feel,” said Maher.

 “These companies believe the new urban look will assist in attracting and retaining employees, and they favor the location’s proximity to Chicago and strong labor pools in Oak Brook, Elmhurst, Villa Park and Lombard.

"The fact that three of the leases were signed during the onset of the pandemic attests to the building’s increasing popularity and appeal.”

Built in 1972 and previously renovated in 1991, 26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield is a three-story, 214,767-square-foot building located on 10 park-like acres.

 Adam Johnson
Clear Height acquired the building in 2018 and has since been investing in many capital improvements.

 Its upgraded common areas include a conference room, lobby, deli and fitness center as well as an outdoor space with a lounge area and on-site property management.

Suites are still available ranging in size from 600 to 22,000 square feet.

26TWENTYFIVE Butterfield is located between Interstate 88 and Butterfield Road, about 20 miles west of Chicago. It offers proximity to Oak Brook Mall and abundant dining, shopping, business services and hotels.

Infinity Residences at The Triangle, an apartment community consisting of 529 units in North Central Austin, TX

 AUSTIN, TX, July 20, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the sale and financing of the Infinity Residences at The Triangle, an apartment community consisting of 529 units in North Central Austin, Texas.

Elie Rieder

 JLL completed the sale from the seller, Dinerstein Companies, to the buyer, Castle Lanterra Properties. JLL also worked on behalf of Castle Lanterra Properties to secure the 10-year, floating-rate loan through Freddie Mac.
 The loan will be serviced by Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP, a JLL company and a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.

 In 2017, HFF, now part of JLL, sold the property to Dinerstein Companies, which consisted of 80,000 square feet of retail below the apartments with a ground lease on the property.

Sean Sorrell 
 Between 2006 and 2008, a three-phase project was conducted to revamp some units and increase the square footage of the retail space to 110,000. The retail space is owned separately and not part of this sale.

 Recent unit upgrades to the apartment community, also referred to as “The Triangle”, include stainless steel appliances, Nest thermostats and other smart technology, updated and modern fixtures and restaurant-style undermount sinks.

 The Triangle, which is positioned on 23.15 acres, consists of six buildings totaling 553,648 square feet offering studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 1,043 square feet.

"We are very excited to begin the next chapter of this truly superb residential community located in one of the most dynamic cities in the country," noted Elie Rieder, Founder and CEO of Castle Lanterra Properties.

 "In addition to our hands-on management and continued investment in the property, Triangle is well positioned to benefit from the numerous job producing sectors surrounding the property including, the University of Texas, Dell Medical School, the U.S. Army Futures Command, Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s new headquarters (expected to employ 2,500 people), as well as the biggest names in the technology industry."

 Ryan McBride
Austin has been ranked #2 for Best Job Market by Forbes and was ranked #1 Market for Real Estate Investment in 2020 by Emerging Trends in Real Estate and has had a recent surge in young professionals moving to the area due to this booming market. 

The apartments are positioned in a submarket with properties experiencing a 7.69% growth in renters over the past several years and a thriving local Austin economy.

JLL’s Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Sean Sorrell and Director Ryan McBride. Managing Director Robert Wooten led debt coordination of the deal.

JLL delivers multi-housing investors a full range of solutions through one diverse, integrated platform. The division employs approximately 400 professionals who provide comprehensive investment sales and disposition services with access to thousands of domestic and foreign investors.

Robert Wooten

MORRISTOWN, NJ, July 20, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged construction financing for Iron Ore Properties for the development of a 25,000-square-foot mixed-use building with 11 luxury apartments at 104 Baker Street in downtown Maplewood, New Jersey.

Michael Klein 
 JLL worked on behalf of Iron Ore Properties to place the three-year loan with Provident Bank.

 JLL’s Capital Markets Debt Placement team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Michael Klein and Associate Max Custer.

“With very few developable sites in downtown Maplewood, 104 Baker Street presents an outstanding opportunity to deliver new apartments and commercial space to a vibrant community,” stated Custer. 

“Despite the ongoing COVID-19 environment, the project’s outstanding fundamentals allowed JLL to secure competitive development financing on behalf of the borrower.”

 104 Baker Street is located in the heart of Maplewood’s vibrant downtown corridor and is just a quarter mile from the NJ Transit Train Station.

Max Custer
The proposed development will include 11 luxury apartments and approximately 3,500 square feet of retail and parking.

Upon completion, the building will significantly exceed LEED standards and feature condominium-style finishes including expansive windows, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, modern cabinetry and quartz countertops, among other new, modern finishes. 

 Residents will also benefit from an expansive indoor/outdoor rooftop terrace and immediate access to Maplewood’s active commercial district which is home to a variety of boutique shops and first-class restaurants.

Renaissance Man, Sammy 'The Red Rocker' Hagar, Still Galloping in the Fast Lane at 72


Sammy “The Red Rocker” Hagar

LAKE ARROWHEAD, CA -- Prolific mover-and-doer Sammy “The Red Rocker” Hagar was driven by poverty and hardship in his childhood to the extreme level of success he has achieved over the span of his 50-year career. 

Hagar’s French chateau-style getaway at Lake Arrowhead, CA, with stunning lake views, is priced at $3.9 million.

 Singer, guitarist, song writer, band leader, owner of restaurants and bars, developer of his own brand of tequila, and not slowing down at the age of 72, Sammy has also acquired an impressive collection of real estate.


Shelli Cotriss
He has recently put one of his seven homes on the market.  Located on Lake Arrowhead, California west of Los Angeles, Hagar’s French chateau-style getaway with stunning lake views is priced at $3.9 million.

Hagar couldn’t wait to escape his dismal family life the minute he graduated high school. 

Tracy Tutor
From picking raspberries at age four making 70 cents a day to pay for new shoes to today’s net worth of $150 million, he left home with his $40 Sears catalog guitar, which he taught himself to play, and left for Riverside, California. 


At 6,557 square feet, it has eight bedrooms, 10 baths
 and parking for six cars.
  
Mostly a vagabond hard rocker performing as a solo artist and with a long list of bands, in 1985 he hit it big as the lead vocalist for the new-rock-group Van Halen scoring four multi-platinum albums. 

Today, Hagar still works with several bands but has turned most of his attention to his businesses opening two bicycle stores, restaurants and bars in Mexico and California and launched his own tequila brand.



He also found time to grow his real estate portfolio with homes in Mill Valley, Corte Madera and Palm Desert, California; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Maui, Hawaii.

Hagar’s Lake Arrowhead house might be the star of his collection, built in 2009 from granite-and-limestone boulders cut and carved onsite to create a one-off French chateau-style home for friends and family to enjoy the lake activities. 




At 6,557 square feet, it has eight bedrooms, ten baths and parking for six cars.  Perched on the side of a hill, all floors have exceptional water views and bi-fold French doors open wide to bring the outdoors in. 

Living, dining and family rooms are roomy with many 30-foot tall ceilings and rooms with cozy fireplaces.  The massive eat-in kitchen will house a group to chat or help the cook with its two large marble-topped islands and high-end appliances that make cooking for a crowd a snap.




  Guest bedrooms can be found on different levels, all ensuite and all containing steam showers.  The spacious master with its wide airliner views across the lake has a steam shower, sauna and fireplace.

 Douglas Elliman

Literally from rags to riches, Sammy Hagar is selling his Lake Arrowhead getaway - one of his seven elegant homes.  Priced at $3.9 million, listing agents are Tracy Tutor, Douglas Elliman, Beverly Hills and Shelli Cotriss, Shell Properties, Riverside.

Wynn's home, appropriately named “Museo,” is a mansion/museum on the Las Vegas Billionaire’s Row.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- Having developed many of the world’s most successful casinos, Steve Wynn has a net worth of about $3 billion, a priceless art collection and a home appropriately named “Museo,” a mansion/museum on the Las Vegas Billionaire’s Row.

 A combination of Vegas fashion, European sophistication and a luxury golf resort, Museo is for sale, priced at $25 million.

 The European-style outdoor plaza features an extravagant four-tier fountain, charming Roman gazebo, pool and spa

 Wynn has been involved in the gaming industry since the death of his father when he took over the management of his dad’s Maryland bingo parlor.

 He soon moved the family to Las Vegas and segued into the world of building and managing casinos. Better than almost anyone else in the business, Wynn developed the Las Vegas casinos Golden Nugget, Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio and later expanded to Atlantic City, Boston, Mississippi and China.

The wealth he accumulated allowed him to fulfill his passion for art and expand his extensive collection that includes rare Picassos, a record price for Rembrandt’s Man with His Arms Akimbo, and the purchase of the first Johannes Vermeer painting that has changed hands in 80 years, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. 

Bellagio
Museo spans approximately 13,500 square feet on 1.5 acres at the edge of the Las Vegas Country Club in a secured community of similar homes.  

Built in the style of Old World European elegance but adapted to the outdoor lifestyle, the home was recently redesigned and updated at a cost of $16 million - in addition to the $13 million he paid for the home in 2018.

With Wynn’s valuable art collection in mind, the home’s security features include a gas suppression system that goes into operation at the first sign of smoke, an art-display hallway with automatic doors that drop out of the ceiling and lock in an emergency, and infrared cameras on the exterior of the home. 



A friend of Hollywood stars, Fortune 1000 CEOs and President Trump, Wynn’s home was renovated for grand entertaining with a chef’s kitchen featuring double appliances and a large butler’s pantry that also adds a second kitchen. 

Included in the six bedrooms and nine baths is a master suite with his-and-her baths, dressing room and hair salon. 

Additionally there are his-and-her executive offices, family room with wine closet, media room and den. All are dressed in elegant finishes such as gilded doors, silk carpeting and mohair-covered walls. 




One wing is the caretaker’s apartment but also with a full gym with wet bar, caretaker’s office, laundry room with double Bosch washers and dryers, and climate-controlled garage with skylights and arched entryways.



Museo has its own power plant that can run the home’s power needs for 36 hours.  Just as impressive on the outside, there are views of the La Madre Ridge Mountains, the Las Vegas Country Club golf course, and an impressive oasis of Italian Cypress trees, palms and extensive gardens.

 The European-style outdoor plaza features an extravagant four-tier fountain, charming Roman gazebo, pool and spa.
