MIAMI, FL –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces financing totaling $53.175 million for the development of The Bradley, a mixed-use residential and retail property in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.

Working on behalf of the developers, a partnership between The Related Group and Block Capital Group, the HFF team secured a $33.175 million construction loan from Santander Bank and $20 million in preferred equity from Greenstreet Real Estate Partners, L.P.

The Bradley is situated in the southeast end of Wynwood and is walkable to the neighborhood’s main retail strip on NW 2nd Avenue. 

The mid-rise development is designed by Kravitz Design and will comprise 175 residential units along with approximately 32,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. 

Jesse Wright
Residential units will range from 480 to 1,000 square feet in a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans.  

The project is located at 51 NW 26th Street proximate to Wynwood 25, which is also being co-developed by The Related Group.  HFF sourced construction funding for that project in May of last year.

The HFF debt placement team included senior director Scott Wadler and associate Jesse Wright.

“The Bradley, along with Related’s other Wynwood properties, are a preview of what’s coming to the neighborhood,” said Jon Paul Perez, vice president for The Related Group. 

 “For a long time, Wynwood was seen simply as a weekend destination, but now the influx of high-quality residential and mixed-use options is driving the community’s transition into a true 24/7 neighborhood.  We look forward to continuing work with our partners to help the neighborhood reach its full potential.”

Jon Paul Perez
“The Bradley’s central location between Wynwood and Midtown will further connect and densify the neighborhoods,” Wadler said.  “We are excited to see how Wynwood evolves as the first institutional-quality apartments are delivered in the area.”

Philip D. Voorhees
PHOENIX AZ – CBRE Executive Vice President Philip D. Voorhees announced today that the National Retail Partners-West (NRP-West) completed the sale of the 533,116-square-foot Westgate Entertainment District in the Phoenix metro area for $133 million.

The sale of the premier 46.6-acre property, listed by CBRE since April, also includes 30 acres of undeveloped land located on the north side of the property.

Jimmy Slusher
CBRE retail experts Jimmy Slusher, Kirk Brummer, Sean Heitzler and Voorhees of NRP-West, along with Jesse Goldsmith, Steve Julius and Bryan Taute with CBRE’s Phoenix office, represented both the buyer and the seller.

 YAM Westgate, LLC, a venture formed by Scottsdale, Arizona-based YAM Properties, purchased the entertainment, retail and office destination located near the Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue from The New Westgate, LLC, formed by iStar Properties, Inc.

Kirk Brummer
“It was fantastic to see a local firm committed to excellent projects in Phoenix and surrounding communities prevail in this marketing process,” said Voorhees.

 “Westgate’s prior ownership positioned the property perfectly for this sale, with the asset providing an ideal combination of high-performing, internet-resistant dining and entertainment uses, income stability and growth from the dining, retail, office and apartment use types, and with future development components as well.

Jesse Goldsmith
"It will be exciting to follow YAM’s evolution of the Westgate Entertainment District in the years to come. YAM is the perfect owner for this property.”

Open since 2006, Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District offers more than 40 retailers and restaurants including a 20-screenAMC Theatre, Dave & Busters and Yard House.

The center also includes 159,026 square feet of Class A office space as well as 76 luxury multifamily lofts located on the upper floors.

 Nearby attractions include Gila River Arena, University of Phoenix Stadium and Tanger Outlets. The property also offers immediate access to the Phoenix metro region via Loop 101.

Steve Julius
“With less than two months on the market, Westgate’s status as a peerless mixed-use asset in Arizona and across the western U.S. presented investors with a unique opportunity to acquire a property of its size and caliber that also offered tremendous upside potential,” said CBRE’s Goldsmith.

“The availability of additional land to develop combined with a proven record of tenant performance helped ensure strong investor interest.”

The West Valley is one of the fastest growing areas of greater Phoenix and is projected to outpace the U.S. annual rate of growth, according to CBRE Research. Already, more than a third of the Phoenix metro’s population, or 1,623,473 residents, live in the West Valley.

Bryan Taute
With this closing, CBRE's NRP-West team topped $10.6 billion in successfully closed retail investment sale transactions.

The NRP-West team focuses exclusively on retail investment properties in the western states, including CA, OR, WA, NV, AZ
