Suburban Spree
Seven New England Executive Park, Burlington MA
BY JOE CLEMENTS BOSTON — There was a reverse commute for office investors during the first half of 2013, as capital found landing a deal in the Hub and neighboring Cambridge an imposing challenge, particularly for core product that capital continues to covet. Beneficiaries are owners of that perceived as the next best thing to a Boston or East Cambridge trophy—assets along and inside the Route 128 beltway. Colliers International principal Lisa M. Campoli recalls that talk at the outset of 2013
“was all buying urban, urban, urban, (due to) Boston’s economic recovery and strong rental growth.” So far, she reports, “it has not worked out that way.” A dearth of tower listings since 100 Federal St. changed hands more than a year ago made the $110 million disposition of 40 Broad St. through Jones Lang LaSalle to TIAA-CREF the largest deal downtown this year as of June 30th, whereas two separate suburban office properties fetched more than $400 million to set up what Campoli considers an historic event—having more sales volume in
the suburbs year-to-date than in the Financial District. The $1.1 billion in suburban business compares to barely a quarterbillion dollars rung up in the Financial District, according to Colliers. ROBERT E. GRIFFIN JR Although Equity Office is shedding multiple suburban Boston holdings— New England Executive Park in Burlington for $216 million and Riverside Center in Newton for $197.5 million among them—the REIT’s Hub and EDWARD C. MAHER JR. Cambridge holdings have not yet been served up to an eager investment constituency. Whether that will change in 2013 remains open to question, but Campoli deems the impressive result at Riverside MATTHEW E. PULLEN Center (see story this section) a catalyst for Equity to put similar holdings on the block—with Cushman & Wakefield now listing Wellesley Office Park—and she reports it has spurred other owners to make their assets available. “The message has gotten through,” Campoli says of the hale pricing. There is a continued desire for quality, explains Campoli, and that has communities doing their best to mimic the Live/Work/Play aspects that have made continued on page 40

BY JOE CLEMENTS BURLINGTON — New England Executive Park has quite a storied history, but if its new owners have their way, the 56-acre office complex has an even brighter future on the horizon. As relayed in the suburban 2013 midyear review story above, NEEP’s $216 million sale to a triumvirate of AEW Capital, Charles River Realty Investors and National Development last month was the region’s biggest individual asset sale of 2013 through June 30th, and plans to overhaul the 10-building assemblage of more than one million sf are equally grandiose. “Our sleeves are rolled up and we are already looking at what we can do to improve the real estate,” says CRRI principal Brian Kavoogian, who terms the property continued on page 43 New England Executive Park, Burlington MA

JLL Casts Broad Figure Downtown BY JOE CLEMENTS BOSTON — Petula Clark might be an apt songstress to capture the tenor of Jones Lang LaSalle’s investment sales brokerage these days, with the group a dominant force downtown over the past six months. Following a $17.6 million trade of Two Liberty Square on the final day of 2012, JLL tendered the $34.9 million purchase of 11 Beacon St. by Synergy Investments one month later, and in May orchestrated the priciest Hub office asset exchange thus far in 2013 when TIAA-CREF shelled out $110.0 million to secure 40 FRANK PETZ Broad St. “Everybody did,” JLL Managing Director Frank Petz says when asked what capital sources chased the 11-story, 291,000-sf structure. The listing lineup was domestic and foreign, local and national, private and public. Life insurers, pension fund advisors, and multiple REITs were in the hunt, Petz reports, with the herd seemingly driven by a Class B JESSICA HUGHES building whose heft is rarely found in the Financial District. Competition was reflected in a steep rise continued on page 44 40 Broad St., Boston MA

BY JOE CLEMENTS NEWTON — Hines Global REIT has a mission to chase core real estate, and perhaps that focus was the difference in beating out a Who’s Who of real estate suitors chasing Riverside Center when Equity Office made the 500,800-sf transit-oriented business park available this spring. “Everybody loves Boston, but this one really got people’s attention,” Hines principal David Perry agrees in reviewing the $197.3 million deal that amounted to record square-footage pricing for a suburban Boston office asset. “That it was,” one CRE researcher says of a $388-per-sf conclusion achieved in a negotiation led by Holliday Fenoglio continued on page 46 Riverside Center, Newton MA

MULTIFAMILY
Multifamily Train Still Chugging BY JOE CLEMENTS BOSTON — Multifamily real estate flew off the shelves in 2012, making the cupboard rather bare at the outset of this year’s campaign. A dearth of listings and any hangover from the crushing level of trades taking place last autumn have eased, however, according to brokers operating in that realm, including United Multi Family President Richard Cawley, whose Quincy based company is among the most prolific middle-market apartment sellers in New England. “All of a sudden, we are starting to see a ton of activity again,” Cawley conveys in a recent interview. “It has definitely picked up, and we are expecting more buildings CHRISTOPHER D. SOWER to be coming to the market into the fall.” Philip Lamere of Apartment Realty Advisors offers a similar take, citing the record prices for helping motivate owners off the sidelines, although pickings remain slim in urban venues. “We JASON S. WEISSMAN are seeing a tremendous number of people who are having a hard time buying into the Boston market,” says Lamere. “There is more capital than product, and that is

forcing people to look outward.” ARA did manage one notable closing by mid-year, assisting the owners of Cabot Crossing in selling that seven-building, 252unit Lowell property to a partnership led by Taurus Investment Holdings. The $20.2 million deal closed in mid-June. The ARA operation based in Burlington is going even farther afield with two Cranston, RI, listings, Springfield Apartments (216 units) and the other Garden City (94 units). The former has already closed and Garden City is under agreement.
ARA is flush in land brokerage, according to principal Richard Robinson, who says a halfdozen sites are under contract and moving towards a closing. Robinson would not identify the properties, but deems the activity a result of multifamily’s demand, with developers eager to take advantage. “It’s a good sign,” says Robinson, whose firm has a Norton site on the block, plus a 55-acre parcel at 15 Great Rd. in Littleton permitted for 214 units. That assignment is being led by land broker Brendan Reilly continued on page 50

MULTIFAMILY
Multifamily ‘Interest Rate’ Soars BY JOE CLEMENTS BOSTON — Interest rate hikes threaten to slow the multifamily juggernaut rampant in New England, but several industry professionals opine interest in the product type will deflect any serious erosion of sales, at least regionally and over the near term. A full percentage point jump this spring roiled a few borderline refinancings, and has conduit lenders in upheaval, but regulatory fears over an economic slump are expected to limit any hikes and optimists say there are other elements in place—such as a global capital glut—plus lenders reluctant to exit the multifamily arena. There has also been a slight clawback in the initial rise (although James M. Murphy of Northmarq Bank stresses PAUL DONAHUE the record rates of yore “are over.”) Even in reporting the market has seen a few marginal deals evaporate, Arbor Commercial Mortgage loan officer John Edwards is among those predicting relative calm, particularly since JOHN EDWARDS he says banks have enough wiggle room to help a deal happen and still yield a decent return. “It remains a remarkably good rate,” adds Centerline principal Paul Donahue, who finds solace in the global money surplus. “It is not abating,” Donahue HAL REINAUER says this week, giving the excess another decade before its influence fades. To Donahue, the challenge in metropolitan Boston is finding deals to finance, with supreme fundamentals creating a feeding frenzy whenever a property appears on the sales block, and often luring a gaggle of lenders in concert with the buyers. Donahue has spent much of 2013 farther a field. Operating from his Boston office at 100 Franklin St., he has assisted Centerline borrowers holding assets from northern New Hampshire to Los Angeles, with stops in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. “We are following our clients,” explains Donahue. “We’d like to do more in Boston, but it

Little Concern Over Retail Pause
Mall at Whitney Field, Leominster MA
BY MIKE HOBAN BOSTON — Few retail watchers expected the investment sales frenzy evident in 2012 to carry into the New Year, and turns out any skeptics were right. Nearly seven months into 2013, only a handful of suburban grocery-anchored centers or larger urban retail properties have traded hands in the metro Boston market, but industry veterans are hopeful that the second half will be a repeat of last year. “This year is shaping up to be very similar to 2012,” observes Geoffrey Millerd, Executive
Director and retail specialist for Cushman & Wakefield's Capital Markets team. “There has been a lack of A product over the first six months of the year and transaction volume has been down, but I think it has been a reflection of ‘deal hangover’ from the end of 2012. I think the inventory got cleared out and the same thing is going on this year.” Last year, Millerd and company transacted four deals in the first half and a dozen in the second half, and for 2013, the team that includes Justin Smith closed six deals through July, and
now has “a ton of product that we’re either in the market with or are about to enter the market,” Millerd conveys. Real Capital Analytics data actually shows a 113 percent gain between the first quarter of Geoffrey Millerd 2012 and 2013 in the Boston MSA, from $66.8 million to $142.1 million, before tailing off from $371.3 million to $176.3 million in the second quarter. Experts note the first quarter typically has carryover deals from the prior Justin Smith year that somewhat skew the results. The ennui then showed up in the second quarter on the statistical front when those deals evaporated. CBRE/NE principal and retail ace Christopher Angelone tells the Real Reporter he had been more hopeful coming out of 2012. “The expectation had been that there would be more grocery-anchored shopping centers available in the first half of the year, but it never materialized,” says Angelone. “We didn’t expect that there would be core quality, but we did think that there would be more B quality assets for sale because sellers would want to take advantage of cap-rate compression.” Millerd says one of the factors contributing to the slow sales environment is the increasing presence of institutional investors in the grocery-anchored and big box retail arena, which continued on page 54
Buying Urban Retail a Chore
CHRISTOPHER ANGELONE
WILLIAM MOYLAN
BY MIKE HOBAN BOSTON — Following a season that saw headlines for Back Bay trades of the Apple Store and properties on shopping Mecca Newbury Street, the first six months of 2013 transaction activity for premier retail in Boston and Cambridge have been something of a letdown. The acquisition stories so far have been mostly limited to two parties—the newly formed partnership between Urban Meritage and Novaya Ventures, and the return of foreign investment to Harvard Square. “Urban retail product is very limited,” Michael d’Hemecourt, President of retail real estate at Boston Realty Advisors tells The Real Reporter. “Boston is a smaller market and there’s only so many of these core urban areas. But you still have a very strong concentration of equity chasing these core urban deals—ranging from private to foreign and institutional capital.” According to d’Hemecourt, $200 million worth of that equity rests in the hands of the Urban Meritage/Novaya Ventures personnel, many of whom were key figures in the assembling of the Newbury Street portfolio that was purchased by Jamestown in 2011 for $226 continued on page 59 205 Newbury St., Boston MA

INDUSTRIAL
Industrial Shows New Strength
360 Cedar Hill St., Marlborough MA
BY JOE CLEMENTS BOSTON — May’s $36.7 million sale of 175 Kenneth W. Welch Dr. here in this southeastern Massachusetts community helps symbolize a blossoming season of hope for industrial real estate. Battered by the 2008 recession and for most of the decade unable to see any relief from weak fundamentals—and equally anemic investor interest—the benefits of New England’s robust economy are trickling down to the industrial world, and even garnering competition for best-rated product, market experts relay in assessing mid-year results. “It is an asset class that is most closely tied to the economy, and it does continue to lag, but
institutional investors are taking notice of the stronger conditions, and as they find (preferred) properties getting more expensive, the higher yields available in industrial are starting to make sense,” says Daniel Fasulo, a research specialist with Real Capital Analytics. “It’s happening all over the country,” conveys Fasulo, whose group pegs mid-year industrial sales in the Boston MSA at $473.4 million compared to $422.9 million at that point in 2012. The purchase of 300 Riverpark Dr. in North Reading by Tritower Financial Group for a hefty $32.2 million (see story, this page) is among at least four industrial properties in the Bay State that swapped above $25 million through June
30th. The others included $32.2 million to the Davis Cos. and Marcus Partners for 1 Investor’s Way in Norwood, a 242,000-sf property that the sellers had taken on for $33.0 million in July 1998. The trade JOHN LASHAR to US Realty Advisors equates to $133 per sf. By comparison, 175 Kenneth Welch Dr. cost AR Capital only $66 per sf for the 555,700-sf property acquired from Sycamore Partners. Davis more than replenPAUL LEONE ished the Norwood inventory, in mid-March scooping up a 1.1-million-sf portfolio of flex and warehouse space for $21.0 million after Wells Fargo Bank had foreclosed on the buildings following the recession. The acquisition involves 100 Rustcraft Rd. in Dedham (493,000 sf) and 150 Blackstone River Rd. (612,000 sf) and 10 New Bond St. in Worcester. Attributes cited by Davis of 150 Blackstone River Rd. included direct rail access, ceiling heights to 42 feet and having the entire structure heated and with sprinklers in place. “We acquired the properties well below replacement cost, and our plan is to undertake a capital improvement program to reposition and lease up the vacant space at highly attractive rental rates,” CEO Jonathan G. Davis outlined in a press release issue after the closing. The Dedham offering is 59 percent leased to continued on page 60
CBRE/NE Helps Tritower in $32.2M Investment Debut NORTH READING — In its first campaign as a real estate investment firm, Tritower Financial Group made a substantial yet somewhat safe play in securing a 208,000-sf net leased warehouse here at 300 Riverpark Dr. to kick off its platform barely six months after formation. Burlingtonbased Tritower was brought to the opportunity by exclusive listing agent CBRE/New England on TOD BRAINARD behalf of DivcoWest and Taurus Investment Holdings, who had paid $27.5 million for the property in Sept. 2008.

HOTELS
Park Plaza $250M Sale Rocks Hub BOSTON — New England hotel sales were dominated in the opening half of 2013 by a deal that is technically a Q3 transaction thanks to Sunstone Hotel Investors not closing on its $250 million purchase of the Boston Park Plaza until the first week in July. The initial agreement was unveiled months ago, and observers say they believe the super-sized trade orchestrated by Eastdil JAMES MCCAFFREY Secured helped bolster theories that New England’s long-suffering hotel sector is firmly on the mend. “It has transferred to greater interest” among investors for such product, concurs one investment sales expert active in the DENNY MEIKLEHAM hospitality arena. Sellers Rockpoint and Saunders Hotel Corp. initially tested the market last year, then opted to refinance the 1,053-unit asset instead through Eastdil’s debt division. It was the rapidly

ascending economy piquing interest in all product types, plus a capital improvements program over the past two years that included adding 100 new rooms that helped drive the price stratospherically above the $126 million Rockpoint paid Starwood Hotels & Resorts to come on board, according to one broker. The eye-popping price tag is not irrational exuberance, either, many insist. “There is a general consensus that Boston is still underroomed,” says one informed source who credits the resilient business climate borne of a diverse employment base, plus tourism and relatives visiting college students, for helping Boston keep its occupancy rate in the 78 percent sphere, a figure compiled by Boston-based Pinnacle Advisory Group that puts the city some 10 percent higher than that needed to be considered a healthy level.
Eastdil is now marketing the 143-room Copley Plaza Hotel, also in the Back Bay. Members of the Boston Capital Markets Group declined comment on any aspect of the hospitality activity, a specialty that Eastdil has built a significant national platform and continues to pursue, according to one market watcher. The Boston office team includes Brian Barnett, Peter Joseph, Sarah Lagosh, James McCaffrey and Christopher Phaneuf. Even amidst that silence, word got out about the Park Plaza changing hands, given the heft of the 950-room facility and its stature as a true grande dame property in one of the city’s most ornate neighborhoods. “This was a monster deal,” agrees one observer experienced in the hospitality field, placing it among—if not at—the top of dollars paid for a Boston hotel. continued on page 62
Regional Banks Checking into Prime Hotels

BOSTON — About the closest some banks get to hotel lending is having a lobby ATM at the local inn, but increasingly a realm ruled by life insurers is getting fresh competition from that constituency, according to financing experts who say the trend is helping make credit available for hotel product even as interest rates begin their creep upward. According to hotel debt expert John Broderick of Colliers International, “banks have really stepped up their game for the best (hotel) assets in class,” for which he has a convenient example in People’s United Bank recently providing two loans to the Saunders Hotel Group in Boston for their landmark Lenox at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets. Broderick explains People’s won the business by providing a 15-year, fixed-rate first mortgage for $37.5 million and a $2.5 million revolving credit facility. The effort was led by Co-Chairman Kevin Phelan, and Broderick, a Senior VP who says the legacy of the Saunders family in the hospitality sector was a help in driving terms, continued on page 57 Lenox Hotel, Boston MA

10 Fawcett St., Cambridge MA
BY JOE CLEMENTS OSTON — Amassing two million sf of urban-centric properties over 10 years, Synergy Investments buying CRE in Boston—as it has done to the tune of $88 mllion in 2013 already—is not necessarily news, although the conquests of 11 Beacon St. and a Seaport District portfolio this spring would certainly qualify. Even so, perhaps the most intriguing action was in selling one of its many holdings, having traded 10 Fawcett St. in Cambridge for $31.3 million to finish up the second quarter. Acceding the firm founded by David Greaney in 2003 does have a “cradle to grave” foundation, principal Maura Griffith Moffatt maintains there are DAVID GREANEY times an exception is the rational choice. “You have to always evaluate your portfolio and evaluate when it might make sense to prune an asset,” the Managing Director of Investments conveys in a recent interview explaining interest in Cambridge is robust enough it gave Synergy confidence listing the 130,000-sf office building this spring through Cushman & Wakefield would reap the benefits of investor ardor. That proved the case, she says, when MAURA GRIFFITH MOFFATT Artemis and Griffith Properties beat out a field of bidders to close on the deal in late June. “We’re very pleased with what the market brought us,” reports Griffith Moffatt, a career real estate attorney recruited this year to handle the expanding assemblage. Griffith Moffatt does agree the more natural state for Synergy is of growth, and the company took two big steps in 2013 along those lines, landing 11 Beacon St. in January for $34.9 million, and joining forces with DivcoWest on a $53 million purchase of Seaport District CRE that includes a 585-vehicle parking garage and development parcel on top of other goodies such as 319A St., a Class B office building that was at 80 percent occupancy when sold. “It’s cash-flowing, which is a real help to have in place when you are buying a portfolio of this size and that has so many moving parts needing to be addressed,” says Griffith Moffatt. continued on page 64

Gateway Deal an Eye-opener for RI BY MIKE HOBAN ROVIDENCE, RI—CRE investment sales in Rhode Island have been slow to rebound from the recession, but brokers say activity is finally heating up, with a couple of significant listings in the works.

Mall and is a quick walk to Providence Station, which can access both Boston and New York City via Amtrak. “The cap rate was a very strong one for the market,” says CBRE/New England Senior VP Alden Anderson, who along with Executive VP William Moylan represented the seller and procured the buyer. “Gateway Center generated a lot of interest, particularly when you look at the fact that it’s only on a ground lease, and you’re really only purchasing a leasehold interest,” notes Moylan, adding, “The price that we were able to achieve despite the fact that you can’t own the underlying ground was very good.” Anderson reports increased activity in RI, with one property under agreement, and a “strong response” to another CBRE is marketing. “There has been a really positive endorsement of Providence from investors,” he says. That feeling is seconded by Karl Sherry, partner and co-founder of Hayes & Sherry (a Cushman & Wakefield Strategic Alliance member). “It has started to pick up a little bit,” says Sherry, who also reports he � has a “significant deal” in the works.

15 Shattuck Office Center, River Road, Andover MA
BY JOE CLEMENTS OSTON—If variety is the spice of life, Richards Barry Joyce & Partners has had a rather zesty beginning to 2013 on investment sales, completing a smorgasbord of transactions collectively topping $52 million with five months remaining. An Andover data center, value-add office plays in Chelmsford and Framingham, a multi-faceted Franklin industrial disposition and church retirement home in downtown Boston were among the assignments completed as of June 30th. Days later, the contingent delivered $172 per sf for an empty lab building in Watertown via the $10.3 million sale of 64 Grove St. to Tufts Associated Health Plans. “We did a lot of different things, and had to take CHRISTOPHER SKEFFINGTON a lot of different approaches to make them work,” Senior VP Christopher Skeffington acknowledges in a recent interview where he cites the RBJ team approach of melding Capital Markets and leasing professionals for greater exposure of an asset, as exemplified in Franklin when RBJ was advising a local firm needing upwards of 100,000 sf—pronto—and with few options just as owner Campanelli was hiring RBJ to find a replacement tenant at 15 Franklin KRISTIN JOYCE Way for FedEx, which had been there since 1996. “It came together very quickly,” Skeffington recalls of the mid-May agreement with KWL/Champagne Logistics, a rapidly expanding shipping concern represented by RBJ broker Paul Leone. Skeffington and principal John Lashar were agents for Campanelli. In a press release, partner Robert DeMarco credits RBJ “for their thorough knowledge of the submarket,” and says “their recommendation to contemplate a sale to KWL on this leasing assignment was a great result for all parties.” Skeffington says the quality of the facility was a significant factor in garnering $4.3 million. Situated in the Franklin Industrial Park, 15 Liberty Way has 25 loading docks, a half-dozen drive-in bays and ceiling heights to 24 feet. “Both sides were pretty happy,” says Skeffington. continued on page 66

O S TO N — H o l l i d a y Fenoglio Fowler closed out the midyear helping one of the waterfront’s most prominent sites secure $90 million. The Harbor Garage, owned by the Chiofaro Co. and Prudential Real Estate Investors, is a 1,380-sf space facility sporting 30,000 sf of groundfloor retail on a site along the lush Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.

BY MIKE HOBAN OSTON — Small business owners looking to buy or upgrade their real estate are finding the venerable 504 loan program offered by the U.S Small Business Administration to be a preferred method for securing long term financing—but it has not always been viewed that way by borrowers or lenders. “There’s been real shift (in thinking),” conveys Davis, Malm & D'Agostine Partner George A. “Tony” Hewett, who specializes in structuring such deals. “It used to be a last resort for those businesses that could not get conventional loans, but now the 504 is something banks are bringing to borrowers up front. You no longer have the aura of ‘Oh. You had to get an SBA loan? What’s wrong with BARBARA ARENA your credit?’ Now it’s ‘Hey, I jumped on this really terrific program using SBA.’” First introduced in the 1980s, the program is designed to meet the capital needs of growing businesses and is used for real estate and machinery. Qualified businesses can borrow up to $5 million, but if the funds are used for real estate, the company must occupy at least 51 percent of the property (60 percent occupancy for new construcGEORGE A. “TONY” HEWETT tion). The borrower must put up at least 10 percent, their chosen bank lends 50 percent at their own rate and term (10-year minimum) and has a first lien on the assets being financed. A Certified Development Corporation (CDC) lends the remaining 40 percent (typically 20 years at a fixed rate), with a second lien. “It continues to be a very, very, very active program, and a ton of deals are getting done,’ says Hewett, whose firm has closed on “about 40” such deals in the first half of the year, and the pipeline still is producing originations. Another key factor that has increased its viability as a financing tool is the streamlining of the loan process, Hewett further explains. “For many years it was a fall back program to conventional loans because it was (difficult to work with),” says Hewett. “And that has changed dramatically in the last five years. SBA has really embraced the use of technology, everything is filed online. It is a much faster turnaround, and the players in the 504 program are much more sophisticated and realize that it’s a great deal.” continued on page 37

BY JOE CLEMENTS ORCESTER — The way things worked out, Colliers International anticipates a busier ending to 2013 on the CRE sales front versus the beginning, Investment Services Group leader Lisa Campoli conveyed in a recent article. Some of that energy will be in the form of new listings, including an institutional-grade industrial property that could top $20 million, and a pair of Boston multifamily opportunities. “It is coming together,” says Campoli, with five listings under contract and expected to close through the third quarter. In the meantime, LISA CAMPOLI Colliers has one major deal from the first half of 2013 to savor, that being the $40.3 million purchase of three Worcester biotechnology buildings by the abutting University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Campoli and colleague Tony Hayes advised UMMS, with Cushman & Wakefield exclusive agent for the seller, Alexandria Real Estate Equities. The deal was consummated in February for 1 TONY HAYES Innovation Dr., 377 Plantation St. and 381 Plantation St., an assemblage of 300,000 sf acquired by the California REIT in 1999 and branded the Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park. UMass “saw it as a rare opportunity” to assemble a critical mass of space at the Massachusetts Biotechnology Research Park, explains Campoli, enabling the university to secure one of the largest such clusters of life sciences buildings outside Route 128 in Massachusetts. In a statement issued by the school, the assessment was one “UMMS faced either an opportunity to stabilize an important research and economic development asset for the region—or become neighbor of an underutilized campus owned by an absentee landlord with little intercontinued on page 66

The C&W team of Thomas Farrelly, Denis Dancoes and Sue Ann Johnson advised Vectron and procured the buyers, while separately, that trio represented the building in securing a 70,000-sf lease from Mercury Computer Systems. “It’s a big story with a lot of complicated pieces that needed to be addressed at the same

keen on being a landlord for a third party. The challenge was to find a tenant to make the idea viable for a caretaker owner such as Campanelli, a firm C&W a few years back had helped trade a nearby Granite State building for and then developed a congenial business relationship. Ironically, Mercury Systems had years ago been in a Campanelli building, and Farrelly says that amicable experience further contributed to the comfort level. “It’s all about trust,” explains the veteran broker. “Everyone involved in this deserves credit for being honest and trustworthy all the way through.” Farrelly had effusive praise for the performance of his RBJ colleagues, who were assisting the firm based across the Massachusetts border in Chelmsford in finding expanded space, a chore that had a strict time limit and required specially designed facilities similar to that which Vectron had created for its own purposes. “I knew that Brian and John would have their client’s best interest in mind, and that once they looked under the hood (at 267 Lowell Rd.), they would realize this was an ideal fit for them and would save them an incredible amount of time and expense.” In Campanelli, Farrelly says he felt his client was getting a proven real estate owner who would not disrupt the process and had the skill sets to enhance the structure. The Braintree-based firm also agreed to buy Mercury’s existing facility, an unusual stipulation, admits Farrelly, but one Campanelli willingly did and is now listing for sale. Besides Vectron and Mercury, Farrelly says he believes the result is advantageous to Campanelli and TriGate. “It’s a very unique opportunity to own a standalone tech building in one of the rapid growth areas u of southern New Hampshire,” says Farrelly.

Borrowers are spread across a wide swath of businesses, from manufacturing companies to restaurants, hotels, and service and professional entities. Hewett and his firm closed on a deal for the 8 Dyer Hotel, a 13-room Bed and Breakfast in Provincetown. The regional CDC, Cape & Islands Community Development Inc., provided $458,000 and $445,500 and $742,500 mortgages came from Seamens Bank. Wakefieldbased New England Certified Development Corp. arranged ($527,000 ) for the Rexhame General Store in Marshfield (with mortgages of $509,600 and $637,000 from South Coastal Bank) and for a flex building at 3 Thatcher Ln. in Wareham where the CDC provided a $630,000 mortgage while Rockland Trust Co. delivered $610,000 and $762,500. A retail property at 76-80 Colon St. in Beverly was backed by $534,000 from Granite State and $520,000 and $650,000 from Provident Bank.

While representatives were not available for comment, public records indicate they provided shipping company KWL, Inc./Champagne Logistics a $1.77 million mortgage for a 92,500-sf industrial building (sold by Campanelli) at 15 Liberty Way in the Franklin Industrial Park, with $1.73 million and $2.16 million mortgages from Avidia Bank. Granite State also delivered a $1.19 million mortgage to the owners of the Golden Cannoli Shells Co. for a 24,550 sf industrial property in Chelsea,
with First Trade Union Bank committing mortgages of $1.15 million and $1.44 million. Granite State loan officers active in the region include Barbara Arena and Matthew Collins “I’m a firm believer that real economic activity occurs because of the 504 program,” says Hewett. “(There are deals) that wouldn’t get done because it’s either too much of a risk for the bank, or the borrower doesn’t have the 20-25 percent down that the bank would require in a conventional deal.” ◆

OSTON — Marcus & Millichap net-leased specialists Laurie Ann (L.A.) Drinkwater and Todd Tremblay are both—again—having impressive years trading product throughout New England and beyond, as evidenced by the $9.1 million Drinkwater and colleague Seth J. Richard delivered in selling a new CVS here on Route 1 to begin the season. Tremblay and Robert M. Horvath comprise another high-flying Marcus duo coming strong off a record season by compiling another 34 closings through June 30th. This past week, Drinkwater and Tremblay got word from corporate that they are among only a half-dozen brokers nationally promoted to Vice Presidents by the California-based brokerage that touts itself the country’s largest real estate investment sales organizations thanks to an army of agents in excess of 1,000. The two teams most active regionally cast a wide swath again through mid-year. A Windham, ME, Lowe’s ($12.4 million), Rite Aid in Winchendon and Olive Garden in Taunton are among the opening half conclusions for Horvath and Tremblay, whereas Drinkwater and Richard tendered the $8.1 million sale of a 101,000-sf Kohl’s in Seabrook, NH, also on Route 1. They are now marketing a 59,000 sf retail plaza in Westfield and Union Square in Southbury, CT, a 56,000-sf medical office and retail property. “With this promotion, these commercial real estate investment specialists have earned a prestigious designation within the firm and solidified their reputations as knowledgeable and successful investment professionals,” Executive VP and Managing Director Gene A.

ATICK — Garry R. Holmes was there 20 years ago when The MathWorks filled its first square foot of real estate—a few thousand of them— and he was there again this spring advising the educational software firm on its $55 million purchase of the former Boston Scientific Corp. headquarters on Superior Drive, an acquisiton that will put its commu- WILLIAM BAILEY nity footprint above 1.1 million sf. The one-time brewery hovering over Route 9 was made available when Boston Scientific consolidated operations in Marlborough. “It was certainly a relief to the town,” Holmes recounted recently of MathWorks stepping up to lessen the medical device giant’s departure while agreeing to keep its current operations at Apple Hill. The sale was consummated in late March, with Jones GARRY R. HOLMES Lang LaSalle Managing Director William Bailey advising the seller. Holmes is president of Wayland-based R.W. Holmes Realty Co., and the SIOR-designated professional is now assisting his client as MathWorks reconfigures the site for its own purposes. The complex will be modernized and enhanced with new systems to improve sustainability. Efforts are underway JACK O’NIEL to create structured parking on the site. As part of the upgrade, MathWorks has designated National Development to advise on upgrading the sprawling campus that will ultimately house nearly 1,000 employees as part of a citywide total exceeding 2,600. Jack O’Neil at National Development is handling the process, relays Holmes. “It’s nice to have professionals like National helping us on the permitting,” he says of the firm that has its own active real estate pipeline. Reflecting on the blockbuster transaction, Holmes concurs that the MathWorks relationship has blossomed to unanticipated levels, helping the firm develop the Apple Hill headquarters where more than 1,875 people are employed and now participating in one of the largest corporate CRE trades of 2013. “It has been fun to watch,” Holmes says. “You always hope to see (one’s client) grow by leaps and bounds, but it rarely happens that way.”◆

SUBURBAN SPREE continued from page 3
urban settings so popular among a new generation of companies from life sciences to technology that are catering to a young talent pool. Acknowledging this year’s suburban surge is Robert E. Griffin Jr., Cushman & Wakefield’s New England region President and head of the Capital Markets Group that once again outpaced its competition through midyear thanks mainly to a series of listings from Andover to Worcester, among them the $216 million NEEP transfer, which MICHAEL GREELEY proved to be the top trade for New England through June 30th. A triumvirate of AEW Capital, Charles River Realty Investors and National Development teamed up for that purchase from Equity (see related story page 2). FRANK NELSON NEEP proved to be the very imposing tip of an even bigger iceberg for C&W to open 2013. Although the team also led by Vice-Chair Edward C. Maher Jr. and Matthew E. Pullen did have its share of major downtown and Cambridge conclusions through the halfway juncture, the 20 deals finalized as of June 30th were concentrated beyond their city limits, including popular inner suburban communities such as Somerville, where C&W negotiated the $33.4 million purchase of 200 Inner Belt Rd. by North River, a New York-based investor drawn to the four-story, 186,000-sf office building thanks to a four-acre develop-

ment site and potential upside in the existing 12-year-old structure that was 82 percent leased when sold. Says Griffin: “200 Inner Belt Rd.’s location allows the property to capitalize on tenant migration to high-quality value alternatives, especially with laboratory and office users being priced out of neighboring Cambridge.” Kendall Square is barely three miles from North River’s new property. C&W’s client in the May 30th exchange was FoulgerPratt, an investment advisor that paid $13.4 million for the property in Dec. 2005. Barely one week after 200 Inner Belt Rd. closed, C&W negotiated the $34 million swap of One Newton Place in Newton Corner to Taurus Investments from client TA Associates Realty, owner since paying $21.0 million in Dec. 2004 for the 172,000-sf office/retail building that also has structured parking. In a press release, TA principal Jim Raisides relays that the robust capital climate made 2013 “a great time . . . to sell this exceptional asset,” while Griffin credits TA for its attentive stewardship of the building, care that he says provided “a real opportunity for Taurus to purchase an asset with strong tenancy in a thriving and established area.” Newton Corner is the first exit southbound following the Allston toll plaza of the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension. C&W scored yet another substantial suburban success when Campanelli paid $16.3 million for a pair of vacant office buildings in North Quincy. Totaling 356,000 sf, they were part of a larger campus filled by State Street Bank Corp. on a site overlooking the Neponset River. Heritage I and Heritage II will undergo an extensive renovation by the hands-on developer and investor (see related story page 22). Back in Burlington, C&W was exclusive agent on the $69.3 million sale of 5 and 15
Wayside Rd. to the Piedmont Group from Behringer Harvard. The Texas-based seller that has been refocusing regional attention on multifamily investment over the past two years had bought the Wayside Road properties for $82.2 million in Dec. 2006 at the height of the last CRE boom cycle. While below what the seller shelled out, the figure exceeded market projections for the buildings that total 270,000 sf and were at 95 percent occupancy upon closing.

building in Concord, as Cole REIT of Arizona paid $24.3 million for the 50,000-sf property that is fully occupied by Harvard Vanguard on a long-term commitment. The assignment was tackled by the Capital Markets team with guidance from Michael Greeley and Frank Nelson of the Academic and Medical Practice Group, according to Pullen, who told the Real Reporter when 330 Baker Ave. changed hands that the pair is “very unique in what they do, and can make a big difference” delivering maximum value for a property in those special categories. In reviewing the opening two quarters, Griffin concurs that it has been hectic and shows little sign of slowing. “We’ve done a lot of deals and (handled) many different types of product,” he tells the Real Reporter in relaying Capital Markets Group staffers are working on various assignments, some coming to a conclusion and others just now heading to the street. Barring a global financial meltdown or interest rates surge, the rest of the year could prove even more productive than the opening half, according to Griffin, with suburban listings cropping up on a regular basis despite being in the normally languid midsummer season. While C&W had its hands in an incredible number of suburban swaps, the contingent certainly has not been alone taking on and completing large, complex listings through midyear. A deal that got national attention occurred in February when Harvard University divested its 11-building, 760,000-sf Watertown campus on Arsenal Street, selling it to anchor tenant athenahealth, a rapidly growing technology firm that retained Avison Young two years earlier to assess its space options as the firm con-

between opening and second round pricing before TIAA-CREF wrestled 40 Broad St. away in a conquest said to have equated to a capitalization rate in the thin 4.6 percent range. “Some people figured out where it was going,” Petz says in explaining the bidding surge between rounds. JLL advised Pearlmark Real Estate Partners in trading a building that last changed hands for $50.0 million in Feb. 2006. Petz credits astute stewardship and improvements to the physical plant for 40 Broad PETER NORDBLOM St.’s dramatic jump in value, and praises JLL for creating a united front of capital markets, leasing and other disciplines to peg the structure’s worth and help suitors get a grip on the rapidly evolving Hub office market. Leasing input was led by Kelly Lockberg and Brad McGill, with the Capital Markets team featuring Petz joined by Jessica Hughes and Matthew Sherry. Eleven Beacon St. proved that listing assets in Boston’s core means an inevitable interaction with Synergy Investments, the savvy 10-year-old

firm based at 100 Franklin St. whose founder David Greaney has anchored his portfolio in the downtown. Although Petz declined to identify prospects, Synergy supposedly also took a hard look at 40 Broad St., and was among those kicking the tires at other prime downtown assets, including 50 Congress St., acquired this month by KBS Realty Advisors for $51 million, a transaction brokered ROBERT BORDEN by Holliday Fenoglio Fowler’s Coleman Benedict and Mark Campbell. Another closely watched Financial District sale was that of 45 Milk St., a boutique office property that fetched $21.0 in May by revamped RREEF despite being 90 percent empty. That disastrous turn came after selling for a remarkable $485 per sf—$34.0 million— in June 2007, with the demise blamed on a repositioning plan needing the space to be empty in a property beloved by small- and midsized tenants for years. Having at times hit Class A rents, the nine-story, Beaux Arts property “is one of the nicest B buildings in Boston,” says one downtown broker who predicts a swift turnaround through Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management, f/k/a RREEF. While JLL did the most individual deals in the Financial District, and is presently exclusive agent for One Washington St. at Government Center, the operation was hardly alone in grabbing a piece of the CBD action, with some deals resolved and others still in play through July.
The most prominent not yet across the finish line might be 99 Summer St., a 20-story, redroofed tower near South Station that therealreporter.com relayed on July 22nd is under agreement to Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers at a price rivaling 40 Broad St.’s figure for top spot of 2013. The difference could be razor thin, according to observers tracking that situation. Meanwhile, a partnership of the Beal Cos. and Related Cos. has supposedly emerged as winning bidders of Fidelity Investments’ longtime headquarters near Congress and State Streets. That 350,000-sf portfolio in four buildings is anticipated to be yielding more than $90 million. CBRE/NE is exclusive agent advising Fidelity, but officials there declined to discuss the status. Eastdil negotiated the 45 Milk St. trade, which members of the Capital Markets team acknowledge, but offered nothing more, as per company policy. Brian Barnett, Peter Joseph, Sarah Lagosh, James McCaffrey and Christopher Phaneuf comprise the Boston office. The division has had a diverse 2013, with highlights including the blockbuster $250 million sale of the Park Plaza Hotel (see story page 16) and two under water malls in Leominster and Taunton that reaped $58.2 million between the separate sales, which were part of an eightproperty REO package Eastdil was retained to continued on page 45

process. And if the 99 Summer St. deal is not a big enough chestnut, Eastdil is negotiating a bookend deal of sorts, advising an institutional client in its unrelated sale of Burlington Centre in its namesake suburban community on Route 128 where the Davis Cos. and Principal Financial are taking on the value added opportunity at a price said to also be in the $110 million sphere. HFF appeared on time and within the budgeted price anticipated when 50 Congress St. was listed in early spring by the Nordblom family, an iconic real estate clan whose ownership in the asset stretched back decades. Taking up an entire city block, the 10story, 180,000-sf building attracted a host of seasoned investors, according KELLY LOCKBERG to sources tracking the action that was resolved at a quick pace given the number of tours and intricacies of the multi-faceted building.”We are excited to have acquired this beautifully maintained building,” KBS Capital Senior VP Shep BRAD MCGILL Wainwright said in a press release after the trade that was first revealed by therealreporter.com on July 10th and closed on July 12th. High ceilings and “exceptional” natural lighting “make this a unique and desirable building in an excellent location,” adds Wainwright. In a press release issued after the sale, Nordblom Co. President Peter Nordblom outlined that, “For more than 60 years, Nordblom Company has been affiliated with 50 Congress Street through ownership and management of the property,” and adding that, “We are particularly delighted with the community of companies within the building and pleased to be selling to such a quality operator,” adds Peter Nordblom. As that deal suggests, investors have been eager to buy downtown, especially in the wake of the district’s resurgence over the past 18 months, and there are a few morsels available, among the largest One Liberty Sq., a 13-story, 157,000-sf office building being pitched through Cushman & Wakefield at pricing said to be in the $50 million range.

President Robert E. Griffin Jr. tells the Real Reporter this week that domestic and foreign buyers are both in the mix for the “jewel-box building” which takes up an entire city block and is home to a highend roster of tenants. Griffin would not identify the parties involved, but confirms that “well over” a dozen offers have been submitted as the process nears a conclusion. “The downtown is very hot right now, with good reason,” says Griffin. “Things are not selling any faster or any slower, but it is extremely competitive and you have to be a serious (bidder) if you are going to” outpace other investors. Initial estimates were that One Liberty Sq. could exceed the $50 million threshold industry estimates had put the pricing at originally. “It’s going very well,” Griffin says, deflecting any questions on price or whether those reports are accurate. u One Washington St., Boston MA

Fowler’s Boston operation. For Hines, it was a matter of winning a desired asset, explains Perry, terming Riverside Center “a pretty special piece of property” worthy of the commitment. “The location is fantastic in being at Route 128 and right at the MBTA (Riverside Green Line stop),” Perry conveys, noting the trolley line provides runs into Boston all the way to North Station. “Not many suburban office parks have access to public transit,” Perry says in agreeing that was a significant aspect of the property’s selling point, as were 1,500 vehicular spaces to service the normal suburban commuter. Occupancy above 90 percent consistently and an efficient, modern layout were other reasons the property passed an exacting muster from Hines. Texas-based Hines is certainly used to winning at the upper reaches, last year paying $57 million for 250 Royall St. in Canton, a 185,000sf first-class building on Route 128 whose tenant is solid-credit firm Computershare. That came one month before doling out $103 million in September 2011 to thwart another wide field of topflight bidders on what is now branded the Campus at Marlborough. Totaling JOHN FOWLER 532,000 sf at Exit 23C of Interstate 495, the threebuilding site that was originally the custom-built corporate headquarters for 3Com Corp. was bought by Hines Global in 2011 soon after the fund now four COLEMAN BENEDICT years old was launched. The REIT also possesses an emerging penchant for multifamily, says Perry, primarily in core markets such as Cambridge. As detailed in the opening Midyear Special story on page two, suburBENJAMIN SAYLES ban Boston was the site of several mega-deals for office buildings in the first half of 2013, a mania created by a lack of downtown Boston and Cambridge opportunities, continued low interest rates and a resilient regional economy that has capital embracing both core and value-add deals.

his Davis Cos. continue to pursue deals in Boston, but was not on the dance card when the downtown assets courted most were under contract. The company’s namesake acknowledges his firm was a contestant for both 50 Congress St. and the Fidelity Investments headquarters that stirred considerable demand this spring before the former was bought by KBS Realty Advisors. The Beal Cos. and Related Cos. have the Fidelity buildings in tow (see main story, page four).
“
We are finding prices very high in Boston
”
JONATHAN G. DAVIS Davis Cos.
“Locally, we have found it tough,” accedes Davis. “We are finding prices very high in Boston.” A big promoter of the city, Davis nonetheless says his firm’s foundation seeking higher returns in complicated scenarios makes accepting excruciatingly depressed capitalization rates difficult to swallow. Fortunately, the firm is built to travel, and adroit landing deals via both debt and equity routes. First half outcomes include the purchase of a note on a Boston hotel, and Davis Cos. has teamed up with Trinity Financial on a 207-unit, multifamily project in Stamford, CT, a market-rate venture. Another multifamily project for 307 units is being developed in southern Florida, and Davis also has ventures underway in Texas deals and just bought a 100,000-sf office building in New
Jersey with an 8 percent occupancy and submarket average rate above 90 percent. “We feel good about that,” Davis says of the fundamentals and ability to get ahead of an opportunity. In the case of Burlington, where Davis Cos. made one of the first recovery plays in June 2010 at 1 and 3 Burlington Woods Dr., he says the continued ramp up in rents is happening for fundamental reasons, including an interesting shift. “CEO’s used to drive the location,” Davis observes. “Now it is the employees who are making the decisions, especially the skilled technical workers who are hard to find.” That could, in a macro sense, be the driver behind Burlington-mania, which suddenly has perennial suburban anchor Waltham on the defensive and scrambling to provide amenity rich aspects giving its northern rival a reputation as Live/Work/Play central outside of Boston. Whatever the ingredients, capital is pouring in from around the corner and across the globe, and sometimes a combination. That is evident at Burlington Centre, which as therealreporter.com first relayed last week is tied up by none other than Davis and Principal Financial of Iowa at a price tag estimated in the $110 million range. Longtime owner MultiEmployer Property Trust has hired Eastdil Secured as exclusive agent for the park that dates to 1990 and was bought for $21.3 million by MEPT in 1991. The buildings at 10, 20, 30 and 35 Corporate Dr. were erected between 1990 and 2009. Restricted from discussing any transactions in process, Davis could not confirm that pending deal encompassing four buildings and 490,000 sf at the juncture of Route 3.

founder is already familiar with the community, having stepped up at a foreclosure auction in May 2010 as the rebound was just taking hold to buy controlling interest in 1 and 3 Burlington Woods Dr., a 116,000-sf office park right on Route 128 that the Davis Cos. firm buffed up and engineered into a $54.0 million sale last September. Intriguingly, new owner Colony Realty Partners this summer hired Cushman & Wakefield to flip the buildings in light of the exuberant clamor for office buildings in that stretch. Whether he indeed could go back again is one thing, but Davis says he has no appetite for another run at 1 and 3 Burlington Woods Dr., even in opining that the strategy may be a prudent one by the astute Colony contingent that was also active in 2013. Says Davis, “I think there will be people who will see what is happening in Burlington today and be content with a 97 percent leased building in a dynamic location.” Davis stresses his company still views Waltham as a suburban powerhouse that is quickly filling in any shortcomings, but accedes the new generation of suburban talent has a yen for Burlington, which posted 292,000 sf of positive net absorption since mid-year 2011, according to Richards Barry Joyce & Partners. The officeSTATus report pegs Burlington’s average asking rent there now at $26.80 per sf and relays that the office vacancy rate for 6.2 million sf is now in single digits at 9.6 percent.
Burlington Centre office park, Burlington MA
25 Mall Rd., Burlington MA
According to RBJ research chief Brendan Carroll, it is the first time since 2001 that Burlington’s vacancy has been under 10 percent. The Davis Cos. penchant for yield kept the firm away from core prospects at Riverside Center and 25 Mall Rd. in Burlington, according to Davis, who “took a hard run” at New England Executive Park when it came available this year. The older property that brought $216 million in June for seller Equity Office has “loads” of upside, according to Davis, and observers say Burlington Centre is also wellpositioned for the future. Eastdil Secured is bro-
ker on the deal; Capital Markets members did not return phone calls by press deadline. The 25 Mall Rd. building is a Class A property at the location of Route 3A and the masterplanned Burlington Mall Road. As therealreporter.com previously unveiled, TA Associates Realty of Boston has been tabbed as winning bidder for the 277,000-sf building that is expected to reap nearly $77 million, or approximately $270 per sf. C&W is negotiating the 25 Mall Rd. exchange. TA is another seasoned investor with interests in the region, and also in the first half divested One Newton Pl. in Newton Corner for $34.0 million in June. For the HFF Capital Markets Group, Riverside Center did garner plenty of attention nationally given the parties involved and the final result, but the firm was not restricted to one mega-deal in the opening half, as evidenced in another prime sale completed in mid-June when W.P. Carey Inc. paid $25.5 million in an all-cash buy of 1100 Crown Colony Dr. in Quincy. The 133,000-sf property is net leased to Arbella Insurance for another 14 years, and market observers say that pact and solid upkeep of the building led W.P. Carey to commit to a property even in paying a relatively thin capitalization rate in the 6 percent range. “There is a lot to like” about the asset, maintains one broker familiar with Crown Colony Office Park where the building is located. Calls to HFF were not returned, but marketing materials indicate the professionals leading that assignment were Benedict and Campbell working with Director Benjamin Sayles. The client was Digital Capital Realty Trust of Denver, owner since paying $19.2 million in July 2010. u

Life companies, on the other hand, are responsible for financing some of the Bay State’s biggest deals. Among the more prominent transactions through June 30th were Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. providing two mortgages ($139.5 million and $52.2 million) to Samuels & Associates for the developer’s ambitious 600,000 sf mixed use project at 1325 Boylston near Fenway Park; Connecticut General Life Insurance Co.’s $28 million mortgage for Forest City’s project at 26 Lansdowne St. in 111 Speen St., Framingham MA Cambridge; Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North Black. “On the smaller end, we’re starting to see America granting MIT an $82 million mortgage some of the more local and quasi mutual banks for their project at 634 Memorial Dr; New York pull back on the 10-year money because they’re Life Insurance Co. providing Cabot Properties not winning deals lately and the cost of lending $53.9 million for their industrial property at 13 has moved so much in the past 60 days.

The change in treasuries is also affecting the $23 million mortgage (of a $34 million price smaller banks, who are adjusting by capping tag) to Synergy Investments for 11 Beacon St. in terms at seven years and in some cases, cutting Boston acquired in early 2013 from DivcoWest.

ability to do larger loans in recent years when they acquired Ipswich First (2010) and Bank Rhode Island (2011) and expanded their loan capacity to $35 million. “We’d love to say we were doing a lot of multi-family, but earlier in the year we lost a lot of it in this incredibly low-rate environment to Fannie, Freddie and the life insurance companies as a lot of it was refinanced out, but we replaced (those dollars) with more office and industrial,” explains Fess. Brookline Bank provided $18 million to Cargo Ventures to refinance 440-480 McLellan Highway, a modern office and warehouse facility near the airport; and a $15 million refinancing for a five-property office portfolio in Needham and Newton as well as $3.0 million in financing for a 225,000-sf industrial facility that went to the Grossman Cos. for $7 million. Rockland Trust Co., which financed a pair of high profile deals on Back Bay’s Boylston Street last fall, is also off to a brisk start, with a slew of financings in the Bay State running from $2 million to $7 million, plus 50 percent of the financing for Foxrock’s $10.5 million buy of Weymouth Woods Corporate Center. The lender also delivered a $10.5 million mortgage for a flex building in West Bridgewater for CDF Corp., and a number of hospitality oriented deals in Rhode Island. “The macro story is that loan demand in the first half of the year has been steady, and the competition has definitely heated up,” conveys James Rizzo, Senior VP and regional lending manager of commercial banking at Rockland Trust. “But we continued to be very selective and maintain the same credit posture that we’ve had over the last five years.” Rizzo was alluding to whispers by a number of lenders that a small number of mutual banks and credit unions are “becoming very, very aggressive in terms of structure and in priccontinued on page 49

ing,” a sentiment echoed by a number of sources. And although the numbers for the bank are down slightly, ($253 million for first half of 2012 to $215 million for 2013), Rizzo says the institution has “a very strong backlog of approved deals. Things that are actually going to happen.” Michael Lindgren, VP of Commercial Real Estate at Cambridge Savings Bank, reports that while year-to-date numbers are also down, (about 40 percent of last year’s six-month figures), the pipeline looks very strong across the board. “We’ve committed a lot, now we’re closing them and the pipeline for precommitting is very strong,” says Lindgren. “I think the real change is that there’s a DICK SCHRADER lot more acquisition activity and we’re getting our fair share of that from our core clients.” One of those clients is the very active Marcus Partners, with whom CSB has done three deals in the last 18 months, including the $10.4 million mortgage for 111 Speen St. in Framingham, the 110,000-sf Class A office building acquired this spring by the Boston-based investment group led by CEO Paul Marcus. The lender also provided a $14 million mortgage for the Comfort Inn at Bell Circle in Revere owned by Saunders Hotel Group (see story, hotel section), and upcoming deals include a healthy dose of “twothree-family properties in core markets like Cambridge, Belmont, Somerville,” says Lindgren. Avidia Bank Senior VP Dick Schrader reports an 8.1 FRIEND S. WEILE percent increase in the lenders’ commercial real estate lending portfolio since the close of 2012 to $267 million through mid-year for the Hudson-based bank. “We attribute (our growth) to just having really good lenders doing a good job,” says Schrader. “We build on our existing base by leveraging existing customers who give us quality referrals.” Just south of the border in Westerly, RI, Julia Ann Slom, Senior VP of Commercial Real Estate for Washington Trust Co., conveys that the bank did volume of about $100 million in CRE transactions in the first six months (including some construction loans). “We did a lot of office, some retail and industrial, and a couple of nice medical office transactions,” Slom conveys. “And it’s well diversified between our three primary markets,
Two Oliver St., Boston MA
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Mass.” In addition to their RI transactions (see related article this section), Washington Trust provided a $6.5 million loan to Timberlake Holdings Co. for the refinancing of undeveloped land with approvals for 385 residential units at Oxford Greens, an active adult community located in Oxford, CT, and participated with TD Bank in the $20 million financing of 4 Liberty Sq. and the $52 million
acquisition of 2 Oliver St. with Webster Bank, both for landlord Synergy Investments. All banks stress convenience, but one bonus for Webster is having its Boston branch office in 100 Franklin St., headquarters to Synergy, a 10-year-old firm that is one of the most active in downtown Boston. Claudia Piper is loan officer in the Boston office for Webster Bank. Friend S. Weiler, Senior VP at HarborOne Bank (which became the Commonwealth’s largest cooperative bank on July 1 after formerly being its largest credit union) reports that “we’ve probably booked about 50 percent growth, but it’s a small portfolio ($24 million volume spread over a dozen deals in 2013). We think we’ve had a very good first half and if we can double it for the second half, we basically double our portfolio.” Other local banks unavailable for comment had an impressive first half based on Massachusetts Registry of Deeds records, among them Boston Bank & Private Trust Co., which completed 10 loans totaling over $65 million; Lowellbased Enterprise Bank & Trust Co. was very active making 16 loans totaling well in excess of $60 million; Middlesex Savings Bank originated 20 loans for approximately $100 million; and Digital Federal Credit Union with 16 loans totaled more than $45 million.

Coyne declined to discuss unfinished business, but says the first institutional quality trade by the JLL multifamily group assembled last year by Capital Markets chief Frank JENNIFER ATHAS Petz was indeed satisfying. “It was a nice one to get under our belt,” Coyne says of the multifamily contingent that includes Kevin Gleason and Brendan Shields. Windsor Green did deliver a wealth of prospects, adds Coyne, PHILIP LAMERE aided by the offering being made prior to the interest rate tempest. “It was a great number, especially for a property out on Interstate 495, and our client was pleased, which makes us really happy.” JLL says the per-unit RICHARD ROBINSON rate topping $322,000 was a record for that region, and Valeri agrees the Allston-based firm paid a pretty penny—many of them—to win the day.

CBRE/NE MULTIFAMILY continued from page 8
Butler says the pace reflects a steady crescendo of demand for New England multifamily, an ardor reflected in Real Capital Analytics data putting midyear multifamily sales in the Boston MSA alone above $1.37 billion—nearly one third of the $3.75 billion shelled out for all CRE there in that period. The fervor is especially pitched in metropolitan Boston, but its influence is expanding. That is evidenced by significant CBRE/NE multifamily exchanges completed through midyear in Connecticut, Rhode Island and various suburban Boston communities not especially known for institutional quality residential. Fall River might come to mind in the latter category, yet the South Coast port town is home to Four Winds Apartments, a 168-unit community near the juncture of Interstate 195 and Route 24 that sold for $17 million in early May to Claremont Residential, a New Bedfordbased multifamily owner and operator who

secured the asset from Equity Residential. It had been a longtime hold for the REIT, having bought the property for $7.1 million in June 1997. The 17 completions by June 30th put CBRE/NE exactly halfway in that regard to the 34 closings of 2012, among those last year the massive sale of 550 units in another cross-border Malden development, the Oak Grove Village community that stretches into Melrose on the opposite end of the city. That $188 million trade helped Butler and St. John process $959 million in 2012, their second-best year ever, but the duo is now in line to crest $1 billion for the first—and only time—since 2007, back when New England had a record CRE investment season just prior to the 2008 bust. Butler credits a limited inventory and resilient economy for creating a perfect storm of interest in multifamily among capital seeking certain cash flow. CBRE/NE did manage to complete one Boston deal above $50 million, with $2.0 million better than that offered by the Hamilton Co. to acquire Douglass Park Apartments in the South End. Financing of $28.0 million was secured

from KeyBank to facilitate the acquisition of two buildings at the juncture of Columbus Avenue and Tremont Street constructed in 1989 and 1990. One is a seven-story property housing the leasing center, whereas the adjacent four-story building sports a fitness center and 6,200 sf of street-level commercial space. The property has underground parking for 114 vehicles. Of the 122 units, 28 percent are one-bedroom apartments, 62 percent have two bedrooms and 10 percent are three bedrooms. Thirty three units are set aside for affordable residents. CBRE/NE assisted on an even larger sale involving that component, as the team reaped $22 million for Edmands House in Framingham from Beacon Communities. As detailed in a May Real Reporter article on that commitment, the Hubbased champion of affordable housing secured $20.1 million from the Massachusetts Housing Investment Corp. to buy and enliven the two sixstory buildings perched in Framingham’s popular Nobscot neighborhood. Despite a solid track history at the property, Beacon Communities is converting several market rate units into affordable apartments to qualify for federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. In the May article, St. John estimated that the team led by Butler and he has transacted a half-billion dollars of affordable housing this decade, and predicted more opportunities will be made available as housing affordability remains a substantial concern in nearly every community. On the flip side, market-rate multifamily can draw from a wider audience of capital sources and have kept the pipeline of deals stocked. Another suburban trade by CBRE/NE to open the year was the Village at Taylor Pond, a 188unit, first-class complex harvested for $49 million by a partnership of Criterion Development Partners and Northwestern Mutual to CPF Taylor Pond LLC. The buyer was assisted in the continued on page 53

purchase by Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors. Back in Boston proper, CBRE/NE was broker on the $12.1 million sale of a condominium-quality asset at 36-40 River St. pruned by New Boston Fund. The buyer is UCP Schoolhouse LLC, an entity managed by Vincent G. Norton Jr. and Thomas O’Donnell. Butler and St. John finally got their hands on a hot-potato portfolio of two buildings in Beacon Hill that have now changed hands three times this decade. Packaged together after they traded separately in 2011, 24 Joy St. and 88 West Cedar St. brought in $6.8 million via the latest disposition. That amounts to $2.4 million for 24 Joy St. and $4.4 million to secure 88 West Cedar St. One year earlier, in Feb. 2012, investor Salvatore Campofranco paid $3.6 million for that building and $2.0 million for 24 Joy St. The seller there was real estate veteran John Parsons, whose Parsons Commercial Group had bought 24 Joy St. in May 2011 for $1.28 million from longtime owner Joseph Fallon, the famous Seaport District developer. Parsons separately acquired 88 West Cedar St. for $2.50 million in Aug. 2011.

Yet another Hub firm all over the map helping sell multifamily is Boston is Boston Realty Advisors, which has a dedicated division led by Christopher D. Sower and Jason S. Weissman that completed its second full year in business this spring by tendering some $50 million in trades, Weissman estimates this week to the Real Reporter. That accounts for more than half the $80 million brokered by BRA through June 30th, conveys Weissman. “There continues to be a bottomless appetite for multifamily in the markets we cover,” Weissman says in assessing the current climate. “Barriers to entry make it very attractive to investors, and that is very encouraging.” As with anyone in the industry, BRA is monitoring the interest rate saga, but Weissman notes core buyers tend to require less debt to do a deal. “A lot of people say it is cooling things down, but so far, it hasn’t diluted the number of buyers or tours we are conducting.” The average deal size for all BRA sales through mid-year equated to $4.6 million, but several were much higher than that level. The largest was an office/retail property in Harvard Square that yielded $33.1 million, whereas the multifamily team took on the most assignments, and completed several by the halfway

Looking ahead, Butler says it appears the multifamily penchant will continue for the rest of the year, with CBRE/NE juggling several listings—including a few priced well over $100 million—during a time of year traditionally bereft of serious activity. That puts the milestone
of $1 billion in reach, he concurs, although Butler insists the final tally is not the overriding concern. “We want to serve our clients the best way possible,” he says, adding, “This is a good time to do that, and we are helping them take u advantage of the market.”
juncture, among them 12 Brookline condominiums sold on behalf of a family trust for $3.3 million, plus $7.5 million for 32 units in two buildings at 256 Parker Hill Ave. in Boston’s Mission Hill district. On the former, Sower, Weissman and Associate Andrew Herald advised the I. Fishman Family LP on a trade to
from client True North Capital Partners shelled out more than $235,000 per key for the package. Sowers is quite familiar with the properties, having traded them for $3.6 million in Feb. 2007 and $5.6 million three years ago this month. Even in cresting $80 million, Weissman expresses optimism BRA can better that level in the second half, and does have a number of prime commercial and multifamily listings in play, including some said to be under agreement that Weissman declined to discuss. Among the Boston treasurers are a redevelopment play in the Fenway expected to approach $16 million, plus a five-level, 8,500-sf building at 171 Newbury St. coming to the market for the first time since 1979. Outside of town, BRA is assisting the owner of a Mansfield apartment community totaling 66 units. The Village at Cedar Heights could fetch $15 million, according to estimates from knowledgeable sources. The owner is Turner Brothers. North of Boston, in downtown Melrose, BRA in June was tabbed exclusive agent for 99 Essex St., an adaptive reuse of an historic building that has 15 new apartments. It is a transit-oriented property with access to Boston, and is near a lively business district featuring all manner of restaurants and retailers, Weissman says in explaining why that property has been so well-received and boosting the firm’s optimistic outlook. u

deliver consistent if unspectacular NOI. “Because institutions have gotten more and more involved and their return requirements are generally much lower than private investors, that’s another reason cap rates have gone down and prices have gone up,” Millerd explains, adding that the biggest change over the last six months JEREMY FREID has been that Class A product—grocery anchored centers in secondary markets or nongrocery anchored retail— has seen cap rates fall considerably, from 100 to 150 basis points. This, he says, is leading investors to pay ADAM MEIXNER a lot more for B product and broadening their horizons. One such example was a $106.7 million deal in West Hartford, CT, in which Angelone and his CBRE team of William Moylan, Nathaniel Heald and Bruce JORDAN SNEIDER Lusa of the Boston office; Jeff Dunne and David Gavin of CBRE’s New York Institutional Group; and John McCormick, Pat Mulready and Mike Stone of the Hartford office procured a buyer (Starwood Capital) for the 450,000-sf Blue Back Square mixed use development that consists of upscale restaurant and retail units totaling 210,550 sf, with 48 apartments, 59 residential condominiums, plus medical office and professional space.
Blue Back Square, West Hartford, CT
Completed in 2008, the retail is shadowanchored by Whole Foods with a Barnes & Noble, Crate & Barrel, Ann Taylor and a highend Criterion Cinema. Closer to home, Angelone, Moylan and friends closed on Riverway Plaza, a 245,000-sf shopping center along Route 3A in Weymouth. The client was Samuels & Associates, which passed the asset to CBRE Global Investors for $21.5 million. Samuels had purchased the property in 2001 for $6.3 million, further testament to the draw of the well-located, solid credit retail centers by institutional capital. The property is anchored by Lowe’s and Staples, and also includes CVS, Dollar Tree, a Margarita’s Mexican Restaurant and a D’Angelo’s/Papa Gino’s. CBRE has continued their momentum into the second half, closing on National Development’s MetroNorth Retail Center to Integrated Properties ADAM CIREL last month for $12.1 million. The 163,000-sf community retail center is anchored by Chipotle, Pet Smart and Bob’s Discount Furniture among its tenants. It is part of the awardwinning MetroNorth Corporate Center created BEN STARR by the sellers on a site abutting Interstate 93 near the Route 128 interchange. Millerd and the Cushman & Wakefield team of Capital Markets President Robert E. Griffin Jr., Associate Justin Smith and Financial Analyst Paul Penman, also closed a significant deal in a tertiary market, selling Heritage Retail Plaza in East Longmeadow to Katz Properties at the end of June for $28.6 million. The 117,000-sf Stop
& Shop-anchored center is in close proximity to both Springfield and Greater Hartford, and is 98 percent leased to credit tenants Aspen Dental, GNC, H&R Block and Panera Bread. C&W also brokered the deal for Salem Park Plaza in Salem, NH, a 37,925-sf shopping center anchored by Barnes & Noble that was acquired by Linear Retail for $8 million from Marcus Partners.

One observer maintains Silver City has underpinnings of good retail, but needs a stronger, hand-on sponsor. “They need to turn the ship around, but I think (the buyers) will do well with it,” says the source, an expert in the retail sector who predicts the $22.1 million price tag— versus its 2000-2 sale for $118 million—gives Dallas-based buyer MGHerring Group a low enough basis to address any physical or tenant roster shortcomings.

With leasing activity brisk enough that Bierbrier is anticipating being at least 40 percent committed by the ground-breaking, and credits a team of professionals for putting the complicated plan together.

Recent renovations include a decadelong program to upgrade rooms and the entire façade.

Chester, VA. A client seeking DUS Affordable Housing monies in South Boston, VA, was aided by Edwards in getting $1.2 million there for an apartment complex in the Commonwealth. Walker & Dunlop is having an explosive 2013, although most of the activity has been beyond New England. Mid-year figures are coming out this week, but the Maryland-based organization that has a major operation in Needham enjoyed a 157 percent jump in origination volume during the opening frame versus Q1 2012, achieving $1.7 billion, while the quarter’s revenues of $69.2 million were up 101 percent YOY. The takeover last spring of CWCapital combined with “strong organic origination growth” played into the results, Chairman and CEO Willy Walker said in releasing those results. CBRE/NE principal John Kelly estimates he has done a half-dozen financings in 2013, including $45.2 million to fund a major purSAMUEL DYLAG chase in Rhode Island brokered by CBRE/NE’s multifamily team led by Simon Butler and Biria St. John. Having joined the firm last year, Kelly says CBRE’s international platform gives him access to capital of all sorts, from local banks and credit JOHN KELLY unions to national conduit sources, life insurers and overseas money. “It has been great for our clients,” says Kelly. “We can match them up with exactly what they need, which speaks to the strength of our local and global network.” The pipeline is well-stocked heading into the autumn, according to Kelly, who works closely with the Capital Markets Group along with analyst Samuel Dylag. At Eastern Mortgage Capital, a Boston-based group whose founders are associated with mortgage banker Fantini & Gorga, growing acceptance of US Housing & Urban Development loan programs enabled the firm to place $125 million through mid-year, almost all outside New England. A one-time force in developing multifamily in Boston during the 1980s, HUD loans are less-suited to a luxury market, outlines Centerline’s Donahue, with statutory limits on how large a loan can be assigned per unit making it hard to fund new, market-rate construction in keeping with the program’s mission to promote affordability.
Donahue concurs that the HUD borrowing path can be long to the point of uncompetitive at times, but relays efforts are underway to make the product more flexible on applying and underwriting. “It is not the quickest process, but it is getting quicker,” he says. Eastern Mortgage is active in HUD’s LEAN and MAP programs, and President Tim O’Donnell says those products do offer tantalizing aspects including a 40-year amortization. “People are getting more comfortable with it,” he says, and other factors are making the product a viable option to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
“
We can match them up with exactly what they need, which speaks to the strength of our local and global network.

In the second quarter alone, Eastern Mortgage Capital completed a $41 million apartment loan in Texas, $$33.7 million was secured for three Michigan multifamily properties and another $17 million in Georgia that recently closed. “That’s a big quarter for us,” conveys O’Donnell, whose team includes Senior VP Peter J. Panagako and services a variety of asset classes, including nursing homes and senior living properties. O’Donnell says the interest rate debate has made conditions “a little stressful over the past few months,” especially for CMBS sources. “It
feels as though the conduits have taken two big steps forward over the past year, but (interest rate movement) has set them back one medium step, O’Donnell offers in handicapping the impact. Paul Natalizio of Cornerstone Realty Capital says the fluctuations in rates “have created uncertainty among lenders,” and balance sheet players are backing off longer-term deals, even for multifamily, he relays. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are making it harder—or at least more expensive—to go long, says Natalizio, whose Stoneham-based company helps clients secure the best rates and terms. Just how successful one might be in an evolving climate is unclear, but Natalizio says Cornerstone’s approach is to service clients with solid track records that lenders will covet.”If you focus on the best borrowers and strong markets, you can get the best rates,” he says. Whatever the formula, it appears to be working. “Right now, we are on track for a record year,” says Natalizio, with the prior high-water mark from last year scheduled to be achieved by the end of August. Natalizio and VP Brett Pagani have recently welcomed two more employees into the fold and the company is in the process of relocating from Stoneham to Lexington. In between all the changes, Cornerstone Realty Capital has assisted borrowers across the region this year on financing assignments. Among some of the top ones were $10.0 million from First Republic Bank to 1848-1850 Commonwealth Avenue Realty TR on 1850 Commonwealth Ave. in Boston and another $29.0 million from the same lender to 9-23 Griggs Street LLC, an entity founded by the Mount Vernon Co. on 9-23 Griggs St. in Allston.

Powered by a fund dubbed the Back Bay Retail Program that targets assets in and around Newbury Street, the partners have already scored three properties for a total of $33.2 million so far in 2013. Jammen says the group is continuing a quest for more, but declined to discuss details about future acquisitions. The partnership (along with Dallas-based L&B Realty Advisors) picked up their first asset at 79 Newbury St. for $10 million from YAS Real Estate LLC, an entity managed by Rouzbeh Yassini-Fard, which had held the building since paying $3.02 million in July 2004.

The space consists of 2,600 sf of retail space in the basement and first two floors and 4,000 sf on the upper three floors and is currently sans tenants. The second asset was purchased in May when the partnership acquired 205 Newbury for $8.06 million (about $1,105 per sf) from Boyd/Smith, the Boston-based property management and development services firm.

After buying the Connecticut self-storage in early December for $11.3 million, Albany Road moved on to Rhode Island, an area Knisley knows well as a native of southeastern Massachusetts and being a former investment advisor at KGI Properties, the Ocean State real estate firm where he worked for several years helping expand its platform. Knisley returned to secure Metro Center II in Warwick, and this year paid $13.2 million for a promising development in downtown Providence (see story page 24). Listed via the Capital Markets Group at Cushman & Wakefield through its Rhode Island-based partnership with Hayes & Sherry, the 140,000-sf Warwick building was also having leverage issues when Albany Road was given the opportunity to take on the complex. The challenge was needing to act in a short time period when the owner was given a chance to pay off the loan if a buyer could be had, and Albany Road’s flexible platform enabled them to step in to complete the $13.5 million exchange, explains Knisley. In that article, the institutionally trained investment expert outlined favorable elements of Metro Center II that prompted the purchase, among them a stable rent roster where the top two tenants rent one-third of the space and have no lease expirations prior to 2017. There is 20,000 sf available, and Knisley expresses optimism his firm can be competitive thanks to paying just 55 percent of replacement cost for the high-end building. “We view it as a deal that made sense from a location position, a value position, a credit tenancy position and a quality position, and when you put all that together, we continued on page 65

SYNERGY INVESTS $88M continued from page 20
One of those parts is 327-337 Summer St., a pair of interconnected 106,000-sf office buildings acquired empty, a condition the new owners are intent on changing quickly—and optimistic their aim can be achieved. “That is going to be a very good opportunity for tenants in a market that doesn’t have a lot of large choices in the Seaport,” says Griffith Moffatt, adding that Synergy and DivcoWest are proactively moving ahead to make the building ready for the stream of new-age tenants helping make Fort Point Channel and the larger Seaport a haven for young professionals and technology startups. Net aborption for the Seaport District since mid-year 2010 is 204,000 sf, according to Richards Barry Joyce & Partners, and market watchers say the number could have been greater had more options been available amidst the supply of 7.1 million sf, something the new owners of the Seaport Wharf portfolio intend to exploit. Seaport Wharf was “a dogfight,” according to C&W of New England President Robert E. Griffin Jr., whose firm listed the 350,000 package on behalf of Archon and Goldman Sachs. Rather than pursue their own value-add plan, the sellers took advantage of the district’s popularity and found plenty of eager takers. “It was a good solution for both of them,” Griffin says of DivcoWest and Synergy pairing up after realizing their bidding war was becoming costly for both sides. That led to detante in the form of a partnership that Griffith Moffatt says Synergy is “excited” to have entered. The two companies have a hands-on, long-range approach that has made for an amicable venture and “excellent potential for upside” in the submarket where Synergy was already among the largest landlords. Existing assets include 51 Melcher St. and two buildings overlooking Fort Point Channel on either side of Summer Street at the very gateway to the Seaport. “It’s an obvious fit for us,” Griffith Moffatt says of Seaport Wharf, which Griffin oversaw the sale on along with Vice-Chairman Edward C. Maher Jr. and Executive Director Matthew E. Pullen. Calling Synergy “big believers in the Seaport,” Griffith Moffatt does acknowledge the landlord is making out in two ways given the lack of Seaport space and corresponding rent growth as spurned tenants or those seeking value are finding them in Boston’s Financial District, which has posted 220,000 sf of positive net absorption in 2013, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Synergy has an impressive fiefdom of
327-337 Summer St., Boston MA
buildings in the district, from 211 Congress St. and and 100 Franklin St. to 141 Tremont St. and 2 Oliver St., the latter a 223,000-sf office building secured at year-end 2012 for $52 million. Eleven Beacon St. fits in nicely to the holdings, says Griffith Moffatt, whose firm actually bought that one from DivcoWest through JLL’s Capital Markets Group in a late January conclusion. “It’s a building we really love, and it has been doing very well for us,” says Griffith Moffatt. Synergy did supposedly have interest in a pair of other downtown buildings that hit the sales block this year, but 50 Congress St. was bought by KBS Realty Advisors for $51 million in June and 45 Milk St. went to Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management for $21.0 million in a deal brokered by Eastdil Secured. HFF was broker for 50 Congress St. on behalf of the Nordblom Co. (see story page four). Griffith Moffatt says the firm is “always interested in what is available downtown,” although she would not identify specific prospects. Sources indicate the firm is not going after One Liberty Sq., a 157,000-sf office building C&W is in the midst of marketing, and therealreporter.com last month unveiled that Related Beal has been tabbed winning bidder for the Fidelity Investments headquarters and adjacent buildings in the heart of the Financial District that CBRE/NE has on the block on behalf of the mutual fund giant. That deal could top $90 million. For the moment, Synergy has plenty to do at Seaport Wharf, with extensive work needed to upgrade the Summer Street asset, while Griffith Moffatt says the garage at 10 Necco St. might
also offer opportunities to improve performance, although it already throws off a healthy $1.77 million in yearly NOI, according to one missive that puts the 319A St. income stream at just under $400,000 annually. ◆

release announcing the promotions. “Their focus on providing superior client services has earned them a high degree of loyalty and respect from investors as well as from their peers.” Certainly the CVS that Drinkwater and Richard harvested with help from another team hailing from Philadelphia delivered a hefty sum for a stand-alone drug store, but Drinkwater explains the being on TODD TREMBLAY Route 1 where 115,000 vehicles traverse daily and next to North Shore Medical Center are among the reasons for the result. “This suburban Boston location has a very high barrier to entry,” Drinkwater continues, partly due to a rocky topography that does offer superior site lines but is challenging to permit and build upon should that hurdle be overcome. “All of this contributed to making this an excellent investment for our client,” says Drinkwater of 1075 Broadway, a unit which opened in 2008. The buyer was advised by Mark Taylor and Dean Zang from Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia operation. Both are First VP’s of Investment. ◆

tious, fast-track strategy, Murphy cites a broad skill set for confidence Campanelli can accomplish what others forsook as the bidding war intensified. “Being a vertically integrated company, we have proven ourselves capable of taking on these large, complex projects,” notes the acquisitions director. Underwriting in such a platform can be more precise, he opines, and buying an institutional quality park at barely $45 per sf only steels the firm’s confidence. To enhance that and ensure a world-class corporate environment, Campanelli has assembled a dream team of office design experts whose headliners include Margulies Perruzzi Architects, a Boston-based practice renowned for its award-winning corporate designs. C&W had pitched Heritage Landing as a MICHAEL FRISOLI potential haven for a large or growing company seeking a corporate identity that had been deemed suitable for years by State Street, which this decade has opted to consolidate in Boston’s Seaport District near the Broadway Red DAVID MARTEL Line stop in South Boston. That could be critical, according to some observers, given that North Quincy is a few stops south on the Red Line. As a resident historian of the market, Murphy likes to point out that, “It’s not like companies haven’t moved to North Quincy from Boston before,” and rapidly rising rents in Boston’s Back Bay, Financial District and Seaport offer further comfort to Murphy. Cambridge office rents now are averaging $50.20 per sf, the RBJ research indicates, well above the $48.35 per sf they were running at year-end 2012. “With the pricing delta that is emerging, you can be in North Quincy for about half what it will cost in Cambridge or the Seaport,” Murphy calculates, a formula that might work for an upstart startup or one tethered to a venture capital budget with scant patience for overpriced real estate. “We do think we have an advantage,” he says, and the presence of suburban ace Michael Frisoli and Boston expert David Martel leading the brokerage campaign,
Heritage Landing, Quincy MA
Murphy says “we expect to see tenants coming from both directions.” As Murphy alluded earlier, Campanelli has been busy on reclamation programs many times already. The firm capitalized on the 2008 recession by teaming up with TriGate Capital to secure under water real estate throughout southern New England. Discounted pricing and in-house expertise combined with TriGate’s support to deliver several impressive results. On the South Shore, the poster property could be 30 Perwal St. in Westwood, a tired flex building acquired for $3.8 million in Sept. 2010 and spiffed up enough to attract Steward Healthcare Systems on a long-term lease. The partnership sold 30 Perwal St. through C&W for $9.5 million last December to an affiliate of the Bulfinch Cos. Beyond pricing power and engaging top professionals, Campanelli sees the park as a draw for other reasons, including efficient floor plates of 23,000 sf for Heritage Landing I, a five-story, 170,000-sf building constructed in 1980, and even larger 33,000-sf floor plates at the companion structure, Heritage Landing II, that came on line in 1981. And while one closer to Hancock Street and the Neponset River Bridge might not appreciate the site, Murphy anticipates the bucolic grounds will offer another employee benefit. Branding-sensitive firms might also appreciate the park’s sight lines from the Southeast Expressway, a roadway motorists are often creeping along slowly enough to eye the skyline. “ “The visibility is outstanding,” says Murphy, further encouraged by a series of ongoing infra-
structure improvements in Quincy, plus the ambitious plan by StreetWorks to revitalize Quincy Center into a Live/Work/Play destination. ◆

feel we are getting the best suburban office building in the state,” he says. Knisley also praises the listing team led by Christopher Griffin of Cushman & Wakefield and Peter Hayes, a principal and SIOR at Hayes & Sherry, for processing the complicated transaction. Beyond Metro Center II’s qualities, Knisley also offered a shout out to Rhode Island, insisting the state’s woes are finally ebbing after having one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates and a series of economic failures that led to a flaccid office market. Warwick, home to T.F. Green Airport, is a business-friendly community, according to Knisley, who also insists Providence has the foundation for a rebirth. “Providence has a fairly healthy office market, great entertainment and restaurants, an Ivy League school, two top design schools and the best culinary school on the planet (Johnson & Wales),” observes Knisley. “There’s a dynamic feeling you don’t get in most places.” And while acknowledging that many investors have bypassed the state since the recession, Knisley expresses a measure of gratitude to such doubters. “I’m happy more people don’t go down there,” he says. “It makes it easier for us to get the good ◆ opportunities like (Metro Center II).”

Five Omni Way ‘Open To Business’
C
HELMSFORD — Among the 11 CRE sales completed to date in 2013, Richards Barry Joyce & Partners was the broker for special servicer LNR when Griffith Properties and Echo Bridge Partners took 5 Omni Way in Chelmsford for $3.8 million. The February sale of that 131,250-sf flex/office structure is another RBJ J. BRAD GRIFFITH Capital Markets leader Christopher Skeffington predicts will benefit both sides. LNR secured almost $30 per sf for an empty building in the still-struggling Interstate 495 North submarket, whereas Skeffington says Griffith has MARCI GRIFFITH LOEBER a savvy track record and is buying as favorable economic winds are finally moving up Route 3 from Burlington. The basis is also attractive, he says, considering 5 Omni Way fetched $18.3 million in Nov. 2005. “I expect they will do JOHN A. MANNIX great with it,” Skeffington

“The building was hardly ever empty at all.” Besides Skeffington, other members of RBJ’s Capital Markets division are Kristin Joyce, Joseph Olin and Roy Sandeman. One month after completing the Franklin deal, another savvy local investor was involved on the other side of the aisle for RBJ’s largest trade in JOSEPH OLIN 2013, the $14.5 million exchange of MetroWest Place in Framingham, a stylish 95,000-sf office building overlooking the Massachusetts Turnpike.

says of the buyer, whose well-known leadership includes founder J. Brad Griffith Jr. and Chief Investment Officer Marci Griffith Loeber. The company also recently brought in veteran John A. Mannix as Director of Acquisitions. Griffith has been on a buying spree, also paying $31.3 million for 10 Fawcett St. in Cambridge just as the second quarter ended (see story office section). Armed with a branding campaign of “Open To Business,” the new ownership has retained RBJ as exclusive leasing agent for the structure
that will soon feature a two-story glass atrium in the lobby, enhanced window line and improved daylighting, plus façade upgrades and a landscaping plan to enrich its appearance. “With new, stable ownership and a comprehensive renovation plan underway, we have already begun fielding significant interest in 5 Omni Way”, relays RBJ principal Brian McKenzie. “The building has a rich history of being home to world-class tenants and we see that trend resuming in the near term.” ◆
sale equates to $126 per sf and had a capitalization rate of 7.5 percent. The data center was a $12.0 million outcome for Winthrop Realty Trust in selling to Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT. The ROBERT DEMARCO sale price of $129 per sf reflects a lease of the entire 92,700 sf through 2022 to Windstream. That process did whet RBJ’s appetite, relays Skeffington. “We learned a lot from that experience, and we’d love to do more PAUL MARCUS of them,” he says. “We do see that as a growth area for us.” The Boston deal was also intriguing, he says, as St. Anthony’s Church sold 103 Arch St., to developer William J.

est in attracting new tenants or maintaining investment in the properties.” In a press release, Alexandria characterized the sale as a strategic decision to concentrate its Greater Boston portfolio inside Route 128 “rather than invest significant capital to reposition the assets” for sale to another party. Vacancy in the properties is approaching 50 percent, a situation that makes the park ripe for UMass to increase its presence there as a tenant. Alexandria “intends to reinvest the proceeds from these suburban assets into highervalue, Class A, CBD assets in Cambridge,” where a good portion of its 4.2 million sf Bay State portfolio is concentrated. Dating to 1985, the Massachusetts Biotech Research Park is a 105-acre campus encompassing nearly one million sf.
