Zack Holderman

SAN DIEGO, CA –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces $14.5 million in financing for Luna Sol Apartments, a 52-unit, podium-style apartment community in Kirkland, Washington.

Working exclusively on behalf of the borrower, Magma Equities, the HFF team placed the floating-rate, condo-conversion loan with a specialty finance company. 

 Loan proceeds will be used to acquire, renovate and upgrade the property with the intent to sell individual units beginning in 2019.

Luna Sol Apartments (Luna Sol) is located just west of Interstate 405 at 11415 Slater Avenue NE in the Eastside neighborhood of Kirkland. 

Zack Goodwin

The property was originally constructed as a condominium development with residential units sitting atop separately owned ground-floor office units. 

Completed in 2010, Luna Sol features large, open one- and two-bedroom floor plans averaging 843 square feet, five of which are permanently designated as affordable housing units. 

Interior finishes include stainless steel appliances, glass top stoves, full-sized washers and dryers, walk-in closets, floor-to-ceiling windows and vinyl wood plank flooring. 

 Community amenities include a fitness center, secured lobby, underground parking and courtyard with grills and outdoor seating.  The property was 98 percent occupied at closing.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included senior director Zack Holderman and analyst Daniel Pinkus along with local market assistance from director Zack Goodwin of HFF’s Seattle office.

“Luna Sol is an excellent example of how a creative sponsor combined with strong market fundamentals can support a strategic business plan like the conversion and sale of individual condo units in Greater Seattle,” Holderman said.

Sky Management Selects Newmark Knight Frank to Lease One Million-SF Distribution Center in Fayetteville, NC

Sky Management warehouse and distribution facility,
107 Tom Starling Road, Fayetteville, NC

James T. Belcher

Fayetteville, NC— Sky Management Services, LLC, a privately held commercial real estate investment, development and management company, has announced the selection of Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) as exclusive leasing agent for its newly acquired, multi-tenanted warehouse and distribution facility on 107 Tom Starling Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The new industrial listing assignment for the approximately 1 million-square-foot facility will be leased by NKF’s Senior Managing Director Tommy Turner and Executive Managing Director James Belcher.

Located near the Interstate 95 corridor, the 120-acre property’s ownership is supporting the city’s revitalization efforts through high-quality job creation and a significant donation to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation.

Thomas W. Turner

Sky Management through its affiliate, Northern Charitable Foundation, will support the Airborne Special Operations Museum as a “Lifetime Benefactor.” The company announced its pledge at the Fayetteville Cumberland Economic Development Corporate luncheon.

The $23 million museum serves as the cornerstone of the downtown Fayetteville revitalization plan. The total military population of Fayetteville is 60,000 military personnel; most relate to Fort Bragg, home of The Airborne and Special Operations Forces.

“Our team is committed to investing in markets that have a strong dedication to defense, Homeland Security and the armed forces. It’s a true honor to contribute to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum and to bring new business and high-quality jobs to Fayetteville,” said Alex Dembitzer, founder of Sky Management Services.

Alex Dembitzer

Sky Management recently signed a 100,000-square-foot lease with Landair Logistics, Inc. Landair, a division of Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVTI), is a leading dedicated and for-hire truckload carrier, as well as supplier of 3PL transportation, warehousing and logistics inventory management services. NKF’s Turner and Belcher represented the tenant Landair.

“We have enjoyed working with NKF during our latest signing with Landair and we look forward to working with them on leasing the remainder of the building,” said Marc Civitillo, managing director of acquisitions at Sky Management Services.

Landair will occupy 11 percent of the building. Ellery Homestyles, a leading supplier of private label and home fashion products, is the building’s 484,310-square-foot anchor tenant. Approximately 342,000 square feet remains available for lease.

“The completion of the lease with Landair reflects the strong industrial momentum we’re seeing in North Carolina,” said Turner. “The well-located facility with highly reputable tenants, 32 foot clear ceilings, a generous parking ratio and abundant loading offers an ideal opportunity for companies looking to relocate in a growing submarket like East Fayetteville.” 

Sky Management Services acquired the building in July 2018. The building is strategically located on the Interstate 95 corridor and four miles from the Fayetteville Regional Airport.

 In addition, the building is in close proximity to Fort Bragg, the world’s largest military installation, and to the Raleigh-Durham metro area.

Admiral Capital Group and Pollack Shores Real Estate Group Form Partnership to Acquire The Factory at Garco in Charleston, SC

Steven Shores

ATLANTA, GA – Pollack Shores Real Estate Group (Pollack Shores) and Admiral Capital Group (Admiral) announced they have formed a partnership to acquire The Factory at Garco, a 271-unit Class A apartment community in North Charleston, South Carolina.

 The acquisition marks Pollack Shores’ expansion and Admiral’s first investment in the Charleston market.

Just opened last year and surrounded by an array of breweries, restaurants and music venues in the popular Park Circle neighborhood, The Factory at Garco has quickly emerged as one of the area’s most desirable living destinations in Charleston’s upper peninsula.

Pollack Shores and Admiral plan to invest approximately $1.1 million in renovations and amenity improvements over a two-year period. Apartment unit upgrades will include the addition of stainless-steel appliances, high-end lighting and plumbing fixtures, and a subway tile backsplash. 

Dan Bassichis

“Charleston has strong underlying fundamentals and has been a target market for Admiral for a few years due to the diversified economy, robust population and job growth and an overall appeal to millennials and others looking for reasonable cost of living and a balanced lifestyle,” said Dan Bassichis, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Admiral.

“We are very excited to enter the Charleston market with such a high-quality partner in Pollack Shores, a group that shares our philosophy of building a strong business while giving back to local communities.”

The Factory at Garco features a luxurious saltwater pool with cabanas for residents to relax and soak up the sun. The community also provides its adventurous residents with storage for boats, kayaks, paddleboards and other water sports gear.

Brendan Whalen

Other premier amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a spacious dog spa where residents can pamper their pets night or day, and a full-service resident clubroom with kitchen.

In addition to its advantageous location in Park Circle, residents are also within close proximity to several nearby parks and walking trails. Matrix Residential, the property management division of Pollack Shores, will oversee day-to-day operations at the community.

Known for its unique approach to creating exceptional resident experiences through superior marketing and management, Matrix will activate The Factory at Garco by providing an onsite events specialist who will plan and execute a customized events calendar for residents.

“We look forward to working with Admiral on this exciting project,” said Steven Shores, CEO and President of Pollack Shores. “The Factory at Garco has all of the right ingredients to fuel significant revenue growth and is an excellent addition to our growing portfolio in the Charleston area.

David Robinson

"The project’s convenient access to retail, dining and entertainment, as well as parks and urban trails, align with the demands of today’s Class A renters.

"The acquisition provides an opportunity to reposition a core-plus property in a fast-growing submarket, and we look forward to enhancing the experience for our residents.”

Situated near two interstate highways and a short drive from the Charleston International Airport and Downtown Charleston, the community is also near major employers such as The Boeing Company, Blackbaud, Inc., Joint Base Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina.

“North Charleston is on the move,” said Brendan Whalen, Vice President of Acquisitions at Pollack Shores. “The Park Circle neighborhood has undergone a renaissance in the past few years, and the new food hall that will open just down the street at the old Garco Mill warehouse will be a major draw that triggers additional growth in the area. We anticipate significant leasing momentum at The Factory at Garco in the months to come.”

“We are thrilled to make our first investment in Charleston, a city with strong military roots, which resonates with me personally,” said David Robinson, Admiral Co-Founder. “In particular, we find the revitalization of the North Charleston area to be exciting and we look forward to supporting local community efforts.”

Earlier this year, Pollack Shores announced plans to develop The Merchant, a luxury apartment community located in Charleston’s North Morrison neighborhood. The Merchant is expected to open in July 2019.

Known for acquiring, developing, managing and investing in best-in-class multifamily communities, Pollack Shores is currently active in Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, South Florida, Raleigh, Charlotte, Charleston, Dallas, Austin, Nashville and Richmond.

Matrix Residential has nearly 26,000 units under management across eight states. This acquisition represents Admiral’s first investment in Charleston bringing its units currently under ownership to over 12,000.
