Growing life science market fuels sale of Rockville, MD buildings

Amanda Davis

WASHINGTON, DC – JLL Capital Markets announced it has completed an equity raise for the acquisition of 5640 Fishers Lane and 12441 Parklawn Drive, two lab buildings totaling 74,500 square feet in Rockville, Maryland.

Jim Meisel 

JLL arranged the joint venture equity partnership between GlenLine Investments and Singerman Real Estate for the acquisition, the first of a programmatic joint venture between the firms focusing on life science opportunities in the Suburban Maryland market.

GlenLine and Singerman intend to implement a significant capital improvement plan to reposition the buildings into Class A lab space, with an anticipated delivery starting in second quarter 2021.

 5640 Fishers Lane and 12441 Parklawn Drive are positioned at the epicenter of the United States’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic, immediately adjacent to the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease (NIAID) headquarters and located within a cluster of public and private sector life science and pharmaceutical institutions.

Andrew Weir

The project has tremendous vehicular and transit connectivity to the greater Washington, D.C. metro area via Interstate 270 and the Capital Beltway and is located one block from the Twinbrook Metro station (Red Line) and numerous walkable amenities.

 Recently vacated by NIAID, who had occupied the properties since delivery and invested significantly in reusable infrastructure, the buildings will be reimagined into state-of-the art, Class A lab buildings well-positioned within the 4^th largest life science market in the US.

 The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Directors Jim Meisel and Andrew Weir, Managing Director Matt Nicholson and Director David Baker.

New York City Real Estate Executive Blames Mayor and Governor for Population Exodus and Business Decline

Evi Angelakis

 

NEW YORK, NY -- Evi Angelakis, founder of New York City-based Golden Key Realty Group, notes the new US Census Bureau report shows more residents escaped from New York over the last year than from any other state.

New York City Mayor William De Blasio 

Angelakis says New York is leading the nation in population decline that it could even result in the loss of two House Seats. 

She says some 126,355 people hightailed it out of the Empire State between July 2019 and July 2020, a dip of 0.65 percent, the preliminary Census figures show.

 In contrast, Florida gained 241,256 people since July 2019, bringing its population to 21.7 million.

Angelakis argues, "We're being negatively impacted here in NYC due to the disastrous policies of Mayor William De Blasio and ultimately also Gov. Andrew Cuomo. 

"Restrictions due to COVID-19 as well as a drop in foot traffic due to un-policed violence in our neighborhoods is causing extreme economic damage to our small businesses and retail buildings." 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 

She says, "Businesses all over are being shut down for the wrong reasons, and we're seeing more surveillance and policing of small business owners than we are of the protests in the streets.  

"They're shutting down businesses while letting crime run rampant in New York City.

"Ultimately, we have seen some stimulation from the PPP loans given out by the government.  However, if it weren't for the uptick in crime, our businesses would likely be back on their feet, but small businesses in Manhattan can't seem to catch a break."

Angelakis is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York and ICSC. She is also a member of REBNY’s Queens Commercial Committee.

Elvis Presley's 'House of Tomorrow' Listed at $2.5 Million

                                       Elvis Presley

PALM SPRINGS, CA --When Elvis picked Look magazine’s ‘House of Tomorrow’ for his and Priscilla’s blissful 1967 honeymoon, Elvis was already at his peak of popularity and could afford any honeymoon location in the world, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

Priscilla Presley  

 

 His favorite was a futuristic house in Palm Springs, which he leased for several years, within commuting distance of Los Angeles and his career movie and recording demands. 

Thomas Andrew "Colonel Tom" Parker

 Still looking much like it did when hosting the happy couple, the ‘House of Tomorrow’ is priced at $2.5 million.

Cyd Charisse

 Recommended to Elvis by his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, near Parker’s own home in Palm Springs, the mid-century-modern abode is an interesting example of the contemporary style for which the city is famous. 

  

William Krisel

Unlike the many boxy-shaped homes of the era, its curvilinear floor plan boosts it up a notch from its competitors.  Looking much like our concept of the interior of a flying saucer back in the day, it was chosen by Look magazine in 1962 as their ‘House of Tomorrow.’  

Peter Lawford

 

Built in 1960 with 5,000 square feet of living space, the house is built on a grade and is cantilevered, offering excellent privacy for the main living areas. 

Jackie Cooper 

 

 The design by modernist-architect William Krisel was built for the owner of the home’s Vistas Las Palmas neighborhood construction company, created out of four circular living areas on three levels with a curved wall of stonework. 

George Hamilton

 

Deceivingly large, the home has five bedrooms and five baths along with a spacious interior in the round, which gives it its space age vibe. 

 

A favorite mid-century feature is the center-of-the-room fireplace with chimney suspended from the ceiling and walls of glass overlooking its 1.16 acres.

 

 Outside are a private garden, tennis court, orchard and a partly shaded terraced swimming pool for lounging and outdoor barbecues.

President John F. Kennedy 

 

The Palm Springs neighborhood of Vistas Las Palmas has been chosen by many celebrities over the years such as the Rat Pack who partied hard at Peter Lawford’s home. 

 

Scott Histed 

 Jackie Cooper and Cyd Charisse lived there as did George Hamilton. President John F. Kennedy was a frequent visitor to his brother-in-law Lawford’s home.

 

Priced at $2.5 million, the property is listed by Scott Histed of Bennion Deville Homes, Rancho Mirage office.

Atlanta light industrial business park trades for $38.5 million

 

The Battery, one of Atlanta’s premier mixed-use projects
of the last decade.

Dennis Mitchell

 ATLANTA, GA  – JLL Capital Markets announced it has closed the $38.5 million sale of a four-building light industrial business park totaling 281,677 square feet in an infill location in Atlanta’s Cumberland Galleria submarket.

JLL worked on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between The Ardent Companies, Taconic Capital Advisors and Axonic Capital.

Albany Road Real Estate Partners purchased the asset through Albany Road Fund III, a closed-end vehicle with $225 million committed to date.

 Situated on 22.7 acres at 120 Interstate Northwest, the portfolio is in the heart of the $3.5-billlion Cumberland Community Improvement District corridor, which is at the interchange of interstate 75 and 285.

Matt Wirth

The location allows easy access to Atlanta’s most affluent demographics and schools along with the densest population centers.

The Cumberland-Galleria area is highly amenitized and hosts an institutional business community that includes The Battery: one of Atlanta’s premier mixed-use projects of the last decade.

 

The property is 87 percent leased to 36 tenants and consists of 43 suites with an average size of 6,545 square feet. 

 Britton Burdette

Since 2016, the park has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation and features 14- to 18-foot clear heights, new roofs, 34 dock-high doors, 39 grade-level roll ups and ample parking.

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

Crosby Taylor

“120 Interstate Northwest is a survivor that has escaped redevelopment,” Mitchell said. “The property is a high-quality institutionally owned and managed asset providing excellent value to the infill light industrial tenant.

"The tenants require industrial function but also demand a high-end location that offers employees excellent access and a wide variety of amenities.”
