AMBRIDGE — It might surprise some that CBRE Global Investors has not held an office property here or across the Charles River since harvesting Boston’s 101 Arch St. nine years ago, but the LA-based investment manager has changed all that practically overnight by spending $445 million on the Hub’s 100 High

Wellesley Gateway Deals Fill 226,000 SF

W

ELLESLEY — Framed by Routes 9 and 128, Wellesley Gateway is known for the office park’s superior access, but turns out getting there is a lot easier than leaving, or so it would seem in a trio of lease commitments from existing tenants in the 272,500-sf office building. Transwestern RBJ is exclusive leasing agent for the 16-acre property which is owned by CommonWealth Ronald Friedman Partners. Anchor tenant Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Inc. represented the largest amount in the three deals which collectively amounted to 226,000 sf, all but 100,000 sf leased on Vicki Keenan multiple floors to HCHP. The not-for-profit health services company was advised by Neil Schneider of McCall & Almy, while the Wellesley Gateway advisors on that and the remaining leases are

McCall & Almy principals James Canfield and Mary Lentz counseled Partners on its negotiations. The third direct deal was also drafted off

EWTON — A former Filene’s Basement unit converted to multi-tenanted retail has been sold for $13.2 million in an exchange negotiated by Calkain Cos. The 24,925-sf property at 215-217 Needham St. traded on a capitalization rate of 6.4 percent, a level observers attributed to the asset’s impressive tenant roster, presence in a popular retail corridor and continued desire among capital to invest in the region. After Filene’s Basement was done in by bankruptcy, the building’s ownership brought in Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Men’s Wearhouse and PetSmart, each signing net-leased deals running 10 years and holding varying rental escalations which were deemed especially popular among suitors. continued on page 26

NAIOP Women of Influence Show How BY MIKE HOBAN

B

OSTON — For anyone seeking encouragement that the face of commercial real estate is changing to more accurately reflect that of the general population, the NAIOP Annual Women of Influence Luncheon would certainly have been a good place to start. Approximately 200 women from all facets of the industry showed up at the offices of Nutter McClennen & Fish this past week to hear a panel comprised of some of Greater Boston’s most recognizable women in Sara Cassidy the CRE industry. And while panels from prior years have been weighted more heavily towards pioneering women who entered their careers at a time when women were a rarity in the industry, the Sarah Lagosh fifth edition of this annual event featured three 15-year veterans that are still in their thirties. This year’s panel discussion was moderated by prominent CRE attorney Marianne Ajemian, partner at Nutter Judith Nitsch McClennen & Fish, who was joined by Heather Campisano, Chief of Staff at the Boston Redevelopment Authority; Sara Cassidy, who leads the Boston acquisition team as Executive Director for JP Morgan; Sarah Lagosh, Director (investment sales) at Eastdil Secured; and 40-year industry veteran Judy Nitsch, founding principal and Chairman of the Board at Nitsch Engineering. This year’s discussion focused on the importance of recognizing, creating and accepting opportunities in the marketplace. Lagosh, Cassidy and Campisano each entered the field directly out of college, but took divergent paths to their current positions. Lagosh says she “fell into” the business, landing a job in the research division of Meredith & Grew (now Colliers International) with “zero” real estate background before embarking on a career

Adds JLL Managing Director Frank Petz: “The whole thing in distribution these days is proximity to doorsteps and to rooftops . . . That’s driving everything” in the improving industrial sector that has seen steady gains in occupancies and rents throughout New England.

Dispensing Knowledge on MA Marijuana Law BY GARY P. LILIENTHAL AND ERIC T. SPEED

Photo: Derek Szabo

B

OSTON — Massachusetts is now among a number of states permitting the limited dispensing and use of marijuana and related products for medical purposes. After a resounding victory at the polls in 2012, the state adopted “An Act for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana” (Chapter 369 of the Acts of 2012) and its corresponding Department of Public Health regulations (105 CMR enabling and REAL IDEAS 725) regulating the establishment of up to 35 marijuana dispensaries statewide. The statute and the regulations closely control some salient aspects of the placement and operation of the dispensaries, yet the real Gary P. Lilienthal “devils in the details” that continue to be worked out are local land use issues in siting and operating this unique use. Of the 35 potential sites, the statute and the regulations provide for a maximum of Eric T. Speed five dispensaries per county and a minimum of one per county. There are 14 counties in Massachusetts. At present, there are seven counties with applications in the “Inspection Phase,” the final stage of state review. Certain applicants with unapproved applications have been invited to submit applications for one or more of the seven open counties. Applications are considered on a first come, first served basis. The state review process considers criteria such as the reputation and experience of the people applying, financial viability of the applicant, and local support or opposition to the application. Applications must be site specific. The only state regulation addressing siting states that, absent local requirements, each dispensary must be at least 500 feet from a school, day care facility, or other type of location where children may gather. Beyond that, power is left to the local municipalities to institute land use controls.

Jumbo Capital has secured $15.0 million in Wells Fargo Bank financing on a cold-storage facility the Hingham-based real estate firm owns at 1 Commercial St. in Sharon. Totaling just over 103,000 sf, the 12year-old building sits on 9.9 acres near Interstate 95 and Routes 1 and 24. Jumbo Capital has held the property since Dec. 2009 when it paid $15,350,000, a discount to the $17,735,534 that 1 Commercial St. brought in Jan. 2006. In marketing materials, the building was touted for having 10 years of lease term remaining by the anchor tenant, and pegged the capitalization rate for a trade in the 7.5 percent sphere. Rental rates in the “landlord-friendly lease” include escalations of roughly 8 percent every five years.

Last year’s award recipient was Boston Police Chief William Gross. “I am truly humbled and so honored to accept this award,” Boyle offers in a statement where he nonetheless stresses those who most deserve the public’s accolades are “all the NAFI professionals that are tirelessly working on behalf of and supporting these at-risk kids and families.” The tenant representation expert is a member of Cassidy Turley’s Boston operation, a group with a legacy of public service and furthering economic and educational growth throughout the city since its inception as FHO Partners, of which Boyle is a founding member.

to the table, particularly when there’s a heated negotiation,” she asserted. “Women can bring a fresh perspective and more and more people are recognizing that.” Cassidy also entered the commercial real estate field right out of college, but without a clearly mapped out plan of action. Her career included stints doing appraisal and working on the equity side of affordable housing before ending up in acquisitions. She recommended exploring multiple options for those just starting out in the business to build a better foundation in the industry. “As much as you can, educate yourself in all the different avenues of real estate . . . to see where your strengths would be best suited,” she urged. A Boston College alum who grew up in the Bay State, Cassidy seized the opportunity to return to Boston from the New York office of JP Morgan when the position of acquisitions chief opened. And although New York has a greater preponderance of women in higher level positions than Boston, she went to events and networked until Cassidy “slowly” understood all the dynamics of the market, and “didn’t force myself into any situation. And as a result I feel more comfortable in the market and we’ve done a lot of great deals here.” Campisano has spent her entire professional career at the BRA, having served as an intern while a student at Providence College. She was offered a position upon graduation and worked her way up until she was appointed Chief of Staff under Mayor Martin J. Walsh earlier this year.

Her advice to the gathering was, “Don’t be afraid to accept a challenge that you think you might not be ready for, because if you have supportive people around you they will absolutely help you along the way to be successful.” She added that during her tenure at the agency, both mayoral administrations have been very women-friendly. “I never felt like a second fiddle to a man, I’ve been encouraged by all of my superiors, and I feel that the public sector environment is definitely nurturing to women in a way that the private sector is not.” Nitsch (whose firm celebrated its 25 year anniversary in September) played the role of elder stateswoman, and emphasized the importance of being involved in industry organizations and events to maximize opportunities on both personal and company levels.

She has also served as President of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts and President of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers Section/ASCE. At her firm (which is nearly 40 percent women), anyone from project manager on up must become actively involved with professional organizations, serve on committees and take leadership roles in those organizations whenever possible. “My message for you is go look out for opportunities and if they don’t come to you don’t worry about it if you’ve made a point, and when you’re offered an opportunity—take it,” said Nitsch, who added, “Be responsible for your own professional development, and get the credentials that are required for your field. Because as a female, if you start out with that credential you’ve already hit the first bar, and then work at those things that you might not be as comfortable with.” Following the event, Reesa Fischer, COO at NAIOP Massachusetts, told Real Reporter that the luncheon had sold out earlier than usual and “we had a long, long wait list.” She noted that although women have made great strides in the industry in recent years, there is more work to be done. “Women still have to be out there and also ask for things,” said Fischer. “The theme was that getting out there and being seen was how you build a strong network.

The plaza is adjacent to 35 Elm St., a 4,600-sf property Holloran Development LLC acquired from D&L Ventures LLC for $1.90 million. The seller, which loaned Holloran $1.72 million to facilitate that trade, is an entity managed by Denise K. Booras and Lisa C. Johnson.

Dating to 1974, the building that many years housed a Forrester Raincoat factory was taken over 15 years ago by Curry Woodworking, which paid $1.6 million in Sept. 1999. Financial details and other details of the PBD lease were not divulged, save for acknowledgement of the purchase option, a prospect Plunkett says his client is considering. Were that to occur, it would continue a pattern of user acquisitions for a variety of

commercial product including flex/industrial. Historic low interest rates and available financing including government support are helping to drive that trend. Plunkett says his client was further drawn to 61 Strafello Rd. by its presence on 4.5 acres in the accessible Avon Industrial Park, and having a venue offering frontage along Route 24. There is a measure of office space plus warehouse featuring generous clear heights and loading bays with a drive-in door. “We are very pleased we were able to meet their needs,” says Plunkett, adding the firm is already in the process of hiring new staff n to accommodate its growth.

ing to inquiries regarding the two separate listings even though informational material on both are already in circulation. The material indicates C&W has its Capital Markets team working with leasing and financing experts, those being J.R. McDonald and Torin Taylor on the leasing and Jay Wagner providing debt and equity guidance. The Capital Markets contingent includes C&W of New England President Robert E. Griffin Jr., Vice-Chair Edward C. Maher Jr., Executive Director Matthew E. Pullen and Associate Director Samantha M. Hallowell. The CBRE Global asset is 35 percent leased to Kuehne & Nagel and is touted for clear heights to 28 feet, 40-by-40-foot column spacing providing for “optimal layout efficiency,” 22 tailboard doors and onedrive-in door plus T-5 automated lighting along with other modern mechanical and safety features. The landlord continues to make improvements, C&W notes, most recently upgrading common areas and the parking lot plus structural enhancements. As in the Liberty Portfolio, there is not an asking price, although its value is estimated by industrial experts to be in the $15 million range, or approximately $63 per sf. Conversely, at 410,500 sf, the Liberty Portfolio would top a healthy $75 per sf if the $31 million prediction is attained. Besides being primarily modern buildings, the package is credited by C&W for having a superior accessibility element, with all five buildings within a half-mile of a major highway, I-495 in Franklin, I-93 in Wilmington and Route 128/I-95 in Peabody. “The properties enable seamless travel throughout the state and the region, accommodating a wealth of tenant distribution requirements as well as facilitating easy employee commutes,” the synopsis notes.

According to the informational material, 96 percent of the space in the portfolio is leased to credited anchor tenants, including Fed Ex Corp. leasing all 39,725 sf at 10 Cornell Pl. and Samantha Hallowell Agrium Advanced Technologies at 20 Liberty Way. “Staggered leases with investment grade credit and stable cash flow” are hallmarks of the offering, C&W outlines . Based in Malvern, PA, J.R. McDonald Liberty Properties acquired the Bay State assets in Sept. 2012 as part of a larger national portfolio purchase from Cabot Properties. The total price for the Bay State buildings was $26.8 million, ranging Torin Taylor from $3.1 million paid for 10 Cornell Pl. to $8.5 million to secure 13 Centennial Dr. The 20 Liberty Way property is a 96,000-sf building dating to 1988 whereas 101 Constitution Blvd. has 63,350 sf. It came on line in 1987. Among the oldest in the mix is 265 Ballardvale St., a 73,450-sf building constructed in 1983. n

building sporting 94 percent occupancy leased to a diverse stripe of 11 tenants in the financial services, healthcare and technology arenas. JLL calls the 24-year-old building “an ideal combination of long-term stability and upside potential,” a mix aided by the recent renewal of three tenants to push the average remaining lease term above three years, and with one-third of the building spoken for through 2019 and beyond. When the space does roll, it will likely be in an improving landscape, according to JLL which shows average in-place rent of $18.74 per sf to be a 15 percent discount off the market average of $22.00 per sf. Rents along Route 128 North are up 15 percent in the past 24 months, JLL research reveals, while the vacancy rate n has dropped to 11 percent.
