A fully occupied, NNN leased freestanding retail building – currently occupied by franchised fitness chain Crunch Fitness in Tuscaloosa – will sell at auction.

By Stephanie Rebman – Managing Editor, Birmingham Business Journal

Jul 11, 2019

A fully occupied freestanding retail building is hitting the auction block in Tuscaloosa.

The building currently occupied by Crunch Fitness at 3325 McFarland Blvd. E will be up for auction on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform July 29-31 via New York City-based Mission Capital Advisors. A CMBS Special Servicer is the seller.

The one-story 42,274-square-foot building was built in 2013 for outdoor retailer Gander Mountain. Crunch, which took occupancy in October 2018, signed a 15-year lease at the 4-acre site.

“The property has excellent frontage in a highly trafficked area of Tuscaloosa, near several main transportation routes and near the University of Alabama,” said Kyle Kaminski, a director with Mission Capital. “Further, Crunch has performed very well in the space since opening and greater market conditions point toward the brand’s continued growth. With the substantial increase in enrollment at the university, and the recent Mercedes Benz expansion, this is a tremendous market to currently be in.”

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Feb. 25, 2018)

Mission Capital Advisors announced that it represented Entrada Partners in the sale and financing of a 484,369-square-foot industrial portfolio in San Antonio, Texas. The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge and Kyle Kaminski arranged the sale on behalf of both Entrada and the seller, a CMBS special servicer. The Mission Capital Debt and Equity Finance team of Alex Draganiuk and Lexington Henn arranged the non-recourse acquisition loan.

The portfolio comprises four properties, three of which are located just inside I-410 in the northwest of the city, and the fourth just minutes away in Leon Valley. The portfolio’s total occupancy is 88 percent. The properties include:

      • 7402-7648 Reindeer Trail, a five-building, 251,125-square-foot distribution property
      • 1700 Grandstand Drive, a three-building property, which features 59,863 square feet of light industrial / flex space
      • 7042 Alamo Downs Parkway, a 27,987-square-foot light industrial / flex property
      • 5405 Bandera Road, a 145,394-square-foot distribution center just over the San Antonio border in Leon Valley

“Entrada was purchasing this property from a CMBS special servicer, and we were presented with a very limited timeframe in which to close the acquisition financing,” said Draganiuk. “With four properties serving as collateral and a fair amount of required maintenance, this was a complex deal for lenders to underwrite, but we were able to close a non-recourse loan with a regional bank.”

Added Draganiuk: “By canvassing the capital markets for the best offers, we were able to secure very strong terms for Entrada. The mortgage was structured interest-only for the first several years, and also featured release prices for the different properties, giving Entrada significant flexibility to execute its business plan.”

For Entrada, the four properties were attractive because of their significant upside as well as their geographic location. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the firm has a regional office and significant holdings in San Antonio, and is ideally positioned to unlock the portfolio’s full value.

“The investment represented a fantastic opportunity to expand our presence in the San Antonio market,” said Reuben Berman, founder and partner of Entrada. “We believe San Antonio provides a great investment environment due to its job and population growth, diversified economy, abundant work force and affordable cost of living. San Antonio is the 24th largest MSA in the United States, but has the 3rd highest population growth rate (15.5% between 2010 and 2017). This growth is naturally creating more demand for real estate to live and work in.”

Entrada Partners Acquires San Antonio Industrial Portfolio

The four properties have a combined 484,369 square feet and an 88 percent occupancy rate. All the assets are close to the Interstate 410 loop.

Entrada Partners has acquired a four-property, 484,369-square-foot industrial portfolio in San Antonio, Texas. Mission Capital Advisors arranged both the sale and the financing of the assets. The portfolio’s total occupancy is 88 percent.
Three of the four assets are located within the Interstate 410 loop, close to the interstate in the northwest area of the city, and all are within 4 miles of Ingram Park Mall. The properties are:

      • 7402-7648 Reindeer Trail, a five-building, 251,125-square-foot distribution facility
      • 1700 Grandstand Drive, a three-building property which includes 59,863 square feet of light industrial/flex space
      • 7042 Alamo Downs Parkway, a 27,987-square-foot light industrial/flex property
      • 5405 Bandera Road, a 145,394-square-foot distribution center

Mission Capital Advisors’ Will Sledge and Kyle Kaminski of the asset sales team arranged the transaction on behalf of the seller. Alex Draganiuk and Lexington Henn of the company’s capital debt and equity finance team arranged the non-recourse acquisition loan on behalf of the buyer. In late 2018, the company also arranged a $13 million floating-rate financing for a Chicago retail asset.
“The mortgage was structured interest-only for the first several years, and also featured release prices for the different properties, giving Entrada significant flexibility to execute its business plan,” Draganiuk said in a prepared statement.

Mission Capital Advisors’ asset sales group is marketing 400 Nave Rd., SE, a 243,000-square-foot industrial property in Massillon, OH net leased to a credit tenant. The firm’s Will Sledge and Kyle Kaminski are marketing the property on behalf of a CMBS special servicer.

The single-story property is fully occupied by A.R.E. Accessories, a manufacturer of fiberglass and aluminum truck caps and covers as well as LED lighting.

“This location serves as A.R.E.’s headquarters, and over the past few years, A.R.E. has made improvements to several portions of the building interior,” said Kaminski. “With a credit tenant demonstrating that level of commitment, this property is likely to maintain its strong cash flow for the foreseeable future.”

The property will be auctioned on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace in early March. “It’s rare to find an investment opportunity like this on a real estate auction platform, and we anticipate significant interest from net-lease buyers,” Kaminski said.

January 2, 2019 – Richmond, ID

Mission Capital Advisors, a national firm, is handling the marketing of the real estate sake of the former Marsh Store, which was sold in a sheriff sale nearly a year ago to Wells Fargo Bank.

Cox Supermarkets, which had operated groceries in the city since the mid-1940s, sold the South E Street site to Marsh in 1999. The 14,730-square-foot building was home to a Marsh store until it closed in March 2017 as the regional grocery chain went under. It’s been vacant since.

The last remaining Marsh store in Richmond, ID, at 501 National Road W., is now called Needler’s, after it was bought along with several others by Ohio-based grocer Fresh Encounter.

According to online property tax records, the assessed valuation for the South E Street property is $230,500.

Former Toast & Jam gets Redemption

Redemption House Executive Director Tomra “Tomi” Cardin got plenty of hugs from a couple of dozens supporters after the Fort Wayne Board of Zoning Appeals on Dec. 13 approved the group opening a second site in a historic house in downtown.

Redemption House’s first location is at 2720 Fairfield Ave., where it has space for 13 women who are former nonviolent offenders referred there by the Allen Superior Court’s Re-entry program and outlying areas. They participate in skills classes, job training and other courses to prepare them to transition back into the community.

The second house is the Bostick-Keim Mansion at 426 E. Wayne St. The added location will allow the program to double its capacity by providing room for another 16 women, according to its application.

The program plans to move into the Queen Anne Victorian built in 1888 after the first of the year. The house has seven bedrooms and three full baths. Some of the features include oak woodwork, five fireplaces and stained-glass windows. The home comes with a three-car garage.

“Residents take care of the home while working jobs,” Mark Bains, an attorney with Barrett McNagny, who was representing the program, told the zoning board.

The program started as Wings of Hope in 2012.

Not all women who are referred to redemption are accepted.

“Residents are well-behaved or they’re not there,” Bains told the zoning board.

Currently vacant, properties will be sold in five separate auctions in early December, offering incredible opportunity to value-add investors

NEW YORK (November 26, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solutions firm, today announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing five separate, vacant Indiana retail properties. The five properties range in size from 14,000 to 80,000 square feet, and are located in Indianapolis, Richmond, Muncie and Lafayette, Indiana. The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski, and Rob Beyer is marketing the offerings on behalf of the seller, a CMBS special servicer. Each of the properties will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on December 3 and closing on December 5.

All five of the properties were previously occupied by the Marsh grocery chain – or its LoBill Foods brand – which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and was subsequently liquidated. All five of the buildings are fully vacant.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” said Kaminski. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

The properties include:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis is an 80,000-square-foot, single-story retail property. Constructed in 1992, the building sits on an eight-acre lot, and is ideally located just east of the Washington Plaza Mall, and is surrounded by a wide range of national tenants including Walmart, Dairy Queen, Arby’s and GameStop. The property is also within minutes of Interstates 70 and 465.
  • 3825 State Road 26 East in Lafayette is an 80,064-square-foot, single-story, big-box retail property. The structure was built in 1995 and is situated on a 12-acre lot adjacent to a Sam’s Club and across the street from the Lafayette Pavilions local shopping mall. The property is situated in a prime enclave of Lafayette, surrounded by a largely residential neighborhood that also features several hotels and numerous retail and dining options.
  • Built in 1980, 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie is a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. With convenient local access, the property is ideally suited for retail uses, and housed a short-term Halloween-focused retailer this fall. Located approximately two miles from Ball State University, in an area marked by significant tech job growth, the property should generate significant leasing interest from national and local tenants looking to expand in one of Muncie’s strongest retail submarkets.
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond is a 14,737-square-foot, single-story building. The single-tenant structure was built in 1950 and is ideally suited for a buyer open to acquiring a well-located commercial property at a low basis with an eye toward redevelopment.
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie is a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures approximately 15,000 square feet. The layout of the property affords an investor flexibility for either single-tenant or multi-tenant usage.

Former Marsh Stores Head to Auction

November 27, 2018

NEW YORK – Five former Marsh stores throughout Indiana will soon be on the auction block. New York-based Mission Capital Advisors LLC says bidding will begin next week on the properties, all of which are currently vacant after being liquidated due to the grocery chain filing for bankruptcy.

Each of the properties will be auctioned individually with bidding beginning on December 3 and closing on December 5. Mission Capital is marketing the auctions on behalf of the seller.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” said Kyle Kaminski with Mission Capital. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential.

Former South Street Marsh Supermarket to be auctioned online on Dec. 3

November 27, 2018

LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Marsh Supermarket on Teal Road in Lafayette sits at the edge of a food desert, which isn’t as picturesque as it sounds.

A food desert is defined as a census tract in which at least 500 people or 33 percent of the population must travel more than a mile to reach a grocery store.

According to 2015 data compiled by The United States Department of Agriculture, Lafayette’s Marsh location is staving off the expansion of an already sizable food desert.

Should the supermarket close, going the way of many other Marsh Supermarkets in Indiana and Ohio, this desert would spread.

It was revealed Tuesday that 17 stores might close. This is in addition to the 19 Marsh Supermarkets shuttering by the end of May. While Lafayette and West Lafayette Marsh locations have not landed on either of these lists, the news does call into question the overall longevity of the grocery store chain.

Could this be the death knell for Greater Lafayette’s Marsh stores?

Sparsely populated bread aisles and a sign posted on the door of Lafayette’s Marsh reading “We are currently out of newspapers” only underscore this question.

Managers at both Marsh locations refused to comment on the status of the supermarkets. Marsh’s corporate offices also declined to comment about the Lafayette and West Lafayette locations.

Katy Bunder, CEO and president of Food Finders Food Bank, said losing Marsh could be a serious blow for residents on the south side of Lafayette.

“If you are taking a bus or walking each time, and you get further away from a store, have busier streets to cross, shopping gets harder,” Bunder said.

Bunder also said there is a significant elderly populations that lives near that Marsh, which might be impacted.

Rosemary and Gordon McCool, both in their 80s, said they would be inconvenienced if the Marsh on Teal Road folded.

“Whenever I need something I can run over here and get it. … Also, this is a smaller store and you get around better. When you get to be our age, big stores are just hard to get around,” Rosemary McCool said.

Although not a great distance, she added, going to the Payless Super Market on Beck Lane, the next closest store, would be a hassle, not just for the drive time but because there is much more store to navigate.

Angela Pruitt, a member of Sitrick and Company, the firm currently handling Marsh’s public relations, said 44 Marsh stores remain after the spate of closures that began in January.
“Marsh Supermarkets is seeking a buyer for all 44 of its remaining stores. The company has retained the investment banking firm of Peter J. Solomon Company to assist us in marketing the stores,” Pruitt said.

If the additional 17 stores were to close, however, this would leave Marsh with just 27 stores still open. A spokesperson for Marsh said on Tuesday if a buyer isn’t found for the remaining Marsh stores within 60 days they will all close.

In 2006, the year Sun Capital Partners acquired Marsh stores, there were 120 Marsh Supermarkets. Now, after an avalanche of closures, the dismantling of all Marsh pharmacies and more bad news this week, residents like Rosemary and Gordon McCool are unsure how they will easily manage grocery shopping if their neighborhood Marsh doesn’t survive.

Former Richmond Marsh store will go up for auction next week

November 27, 2018

RICHMOND, Ind. — A former grocery store on the city’s south side might soon have a new owner.

An online auction will be held next week for five former Marsh properties across Indiana, including the store at 1301 S. E St. in Richmond.

Mission Capital Advisors, a national firm, is handling the marketing of the real estate. The auction will be conducted on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace website, with each property offered for sale individually.

The Richmond location will go up for bids starting at noon Monday with an initial asking price of $50,000. The auction will close at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments,” Kyle Kaminski of Mission Capital said in a news release.

Cox Supermarkets, which had operated groceries in the city since the mid-1940s, sold the South E Street site to Marsh in 1999. The 14,730-square-foot building was home to a Marsh store until it closed in March 2017 as the regional grocery chain went under. It’s been vacant since.

In a sheriff sale earlier this year, the property was sold to Wells Fargo bank, the sole bidder, for $1,288,511.75. Wells Fargo is believed to have been involved with financing the building, allowing it to take back the property.

The last remaining Marsh store in Richmond, 501 National Road W., is now called Needler’s, after it was bought along with several others by Ohio-based grocer Fresh Encounter.

5 former Marsh stores heading to auction in December

MUNCIE, Ind. – Vacant buildings that once held grocery stores could soon come under new ownership. Five former Marsh buildings are part of an auction in early December, with each property getting auctioned separately.

The properties are headed to auction by Mission Capital Advisors, a national real estate capital markets solution firm.

The five properties in Indiana are:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis
  • 3825 SR 26 East in Lafayette
  • 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie

Muncie isn’t only the only community with two properties on the auction block, but also the home where Marsh Supermarkets.

“Marsh was obviously synonymous with Muncie,” said executive director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission, Todd Donati.

Donati said the Hoyt Avenue location closed in the summer of 2017, when Marsh filed for bankruptcy and shut down its stores across the state.

The building along Bethel Pike has not held a grocery store for several years and was most recently a Dunham’s Sporting Goods, according to Donati.

The loss of the two stores left a big impact on the community.

“Not only did we lose a lot of grocery stores, we lost a lot of jobs, too,” Donati said.

The bidding window for the properties in the auction opens on Monday, December 3. It closes two days later on December 5.

Donati said the city may end up being the buyer in the end, but he was confident the two properties in Muncie would have a buyer.

“They won’t be grocery stores,” said Donati. “They’ll be some kind of retailers. They may split up into different retail units. If someone buys them right, they can remodel and can maybe have three, four or five small retail outlets in these stores.”

Two Muncie properties that once held Marsh stores to be auctioned online

November 27, 2018

MUNCIE, Ind. — Two Muncie retail properties that previously held Marsh stores will be put up for auction online during the beginning of December.

Mission Capital Advisors announced Monday that its asset sales group is marketing the vacant Muncie properties — 3910 W. Bethel Ave. and 1920 S. Hoyt Ave. — along with former Marsh or LoBill Foods locations in Lafayette, Richmond and Indianapolis. Marsh filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017.

The bidding window for the properties will be from noon Dec. 3 until about 4 p.m. Dec. 5. Each property will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform. The starting bid for the Bethel location is $200,000, according to this platform, while the Hoyt space starts at $250,000.

A team comprised of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski and Rob Beyer is marketing the offerings on behalf of the seller.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” Kaminski said in a release. “The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

The retail space at 3910 W. Bethel Ave. includes 50,042 square feet and is located near Rural King and the Northwest YMCA.

The 1920 S. Hoyt Ave. location holds two buildings, one single-story building with 45,000 square-foot and the other a two-story commercial building built in 2017 that totals 15,000 square feet and could be used by a single tenant or multiple tenants.

Marsh Supermarkets, founded in Muncie in 1931, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2017 as it was working to sell off its stores. Its Muncie locations included stores on McGalliard Road, Tillotson Avenue, Walnut Street, Burlington Drive, Hoyt Avenue and Bethel.

2 old Marsh stores in Muncie part of five old grocery stores heading to auction

November 28, 2018

MUNCIE, Ind. – Vacant buildings that once held grocery stores could soon come under new ownership. Five former Marsh buildings are part of an auction in early December, with each property getting auctioned separately.

The properties are headed to auction by Mission Capital Advisors, a national real estate capital markets solution firm.

The five properties in Indiana are:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis
  • 3825 SR 26 East in Lafayette
  • 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie

Muncie isn’t only the only community with two properties on the auction block, but also the home where Marsh Supermarkets.

“Marsh was obviously synonymous with Muncie,” said executive director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission, Todd Donati.

Donati said the Hoyt Avenue location closed in the summer of 2017, when Marsh filed for bankruptcy and shut down its stores across the state.

The building along Bethel Pike has not held a grocery store for several years and was most recently a Dunham’s Sporting Goods, according to Donati.

The loss of the two stores left a big impact on the community.

“Not only did we lose a lot of grocery stores, we lost a lot of jobs, too,” Donati said.

The bidding window for the properties in the auction opens on Monday, December 3. It closes two days later on December 5.

Donati said the city may end up being the buyer in the end, but he was confident the two properties in Muncie would have a buyer.

“They won’t be grocery stores,” said Donati. “They’ll be some kind of retailers. They may split up into different retail units. If someone buys them right, they can remodel and can maybe have three, four or five small retail outlets in these stores.”

Two Well Known Muncie Retail Properties To Be Sold In Online Auction

November 28, 2018

New York, NY—Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solutions firm, has announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing two well known Muncie properties in an online auction to be held December 3-5.

Both properties will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on December 3rd and closing on December 5th.

The properties were previously occupied by the Marsh grocery chain – or its LoBill Foods brand – which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and was subsequently liquidated. Both buildings are fully vacant.

The retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for both properties, and interest is anticipated from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.

The properties include the two named below with links to each online auction page.

Built in 1980, 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie is a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. With convenient local access, the property is ideally suited for retail uses, and housed a short-term Halloween-focused retailer this fall. Located approximately two miles from Ball State University, in an area marked by significant tech job growth, the property should generate significant leasing interest from national and local tenants looking to expand in one of Muncie’s strongest retail submarkets.

1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie is a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures approximately 15,000 square feet. The layout of the property affords an investor flexibility for either single-tenant or multi-tenant usage.

5 Former Marsh Stores to Hit Auction Block

November 29, 2018

Five former properties that once housed Marsh Supermarkets sites will go on the auction block next week.

The vacant properties are being marketed by real estate services firm Mission Capital Advisors on behalf of their owner, identified only as a commercial mortgage backed securities special servicer.

Once an industry stalwart, Indianapolis-based Marsh Supermarkets filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017 and subsequently liquidated, citing high debts and competitive intrusions from companies such as Kroger and Meijer.

The stores to be auctioned went unsold in Marsh’s 2017 liquidation, which saw 11 of its 44 stores sold to Kroger and another 17 go to Fresh Encounter, the Findlay, Ohio-based independent. They housed either the Marsh or LoBill brands and range in size from 14,000 to 80,000 square feet.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” Kyle Kaminski of Mission Capital said in a statement. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

Mission said the sites would be auctioned individually on the RealInsight Marketplace online platform, with the bidding window opening Dec. 3 and closing Dec. 5.

The properties to be sold:

  • 10901 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, an 80,000-square-foot, single-story retail property. Constructed in 1992, the building sits on an eight-acre lot, and is just east of the Washington Plaza Mall. It is surrounded by a wide range of national tenants, including Walmart, Dairy Queen, Arby’s and GameStop.
  • 3825 State Road 26 East, Lafayette, Ind., an 80,064-square-foot, single-story, big-box retail property. The structure was built in 1995 and is situated on a 12-acre lot adjacent to a Sam’s Club and across the street from the Lafayette Pavilions local shopping mall.
  • 3910 W. Bethel Pike, Muncie, Ind., a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. It was built in 1980.
  • 1301 S. East St., Richmond, Ind., a 14,737-square-foot, single-story building built in 1950. According to Mission it is ideally suited for a buyer open to acquiring a well-located commercial property at a low basis with an eye toward redevelopment.
  • 1920 S. Hoyt Ave., Muncie, Ind., a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures about 15,000 square feet.

Mission Capital Advisors is a diversified real estate solutions firm with offices in New York, Florida, Texas, California and Alabama.

CWCapital Winding Down BACM 2007-2; Puts All Remaining Assets Up For Sale

November 30, 2018

Special servicer CWCapital Asset Management is winding down Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Trust, 2007-2, having placed all of the deal’s 11 remaining assets, with a balance of $172.8 million, up for sale through its RealInsight Marketplace.

The transaction was issued in May 2007, backed by 185 loans with a balance of $3.2 billion. Since then, 53 loans were liquidated with losses totaling $308.6 million, or 9.73 percent of the deal’s original balance. Those losses have wiped out all of the CMBS deal’s bond classes subordinate to and including E, which originally was rated A+ by S&P and Fitch Ratings. In addition, the transaction has accumulated $32 million of interest shortfalls that are hitting classes B and below.

The deal’s balance is well more than the 1 percent that would trigger a clean-up call. But all 11 remaining assets are delinquent and in special servicing, so they’re not generating income. Instead, they’ve become a burden. Master servicer KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets continues to make advances against them in order to ensure that bond investors continue to receive their scheduled payments. But the appraised value of each of the loans’ underlying assets has declined since the deal was issued. As a result, a total of $114.8 million of appraisal reduction amounts have been lodged against the collateral pool.

CWCapital has enlisted Mission Capital Advisors to handle marketing for the deal’s remaining assets. The New York advisory shop has started distributing offering material to prospective investors and will take offers for individual assets through the RealInsight Marketplace online platform on Dec. 3-5.

The deal’s largest remaining asset is the $119.5 million loan against the Mall of Acadiana in Lafayette, La., a 1.6 million-square-foot shopping center owned by CBL & Associates Properties, but that’s being overseen by a receiver, Spinoso Management Group of North Syracuse, N.Y. An online auction for the property, of which 299,349 sf serves as collateral for the loan, will take place Dec. 3-5. A starting bid of $24 million has been set. The property last was appraised in May at a value of $45.9 million.

Also on the sales docket on Dec. 3-5 is the 160 room Wyndham Garden Inn, the former Radisson Phoenix at 3600 North 2nd Ave., which previously had backed a $9.7 million loan. The property, which last was appraised in January at a value of $2.8 million, has operated at a 54 percent occupancy level for the 12 months through September and generated an average daily room rate of $97.46, for revenue per available room of $52.64.

Most recently, Mission Capital started marketing four foreclosed retail properties that had been occupied by Marsh Supermarkets until its bankruptcy last year and that had backed $13.7 million of loans.

The four stores are all in Indiana, with the biggest at 3825 State Road 26 East, which has 80,064 sf and sits next to a Sam’s Club in Lafayette, which is about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

The others are:

  • 10901 East Washington St., with 80,000 sf near the Washington Plaza Mall in Indianapolis;
  • 1920 South Hoyt Ave., with 60,072 sf, and 3910 West Bethel Pike, with 50,042 sf, both in Muncie, which is about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis, and
  • 1301 South East St., with 14,737 sf in Richmond, which is about 70 miles east of Indianapolis and 70 miles north of Cincinnati.

The properties recently were appraised at a combined $3.4 million. Starting bids for each property is set at $100,000.

Two other notable retail assets in the BACM 2007-2 collateral pool are the $13.3 million loan against the Davisville Shopping Center, with 98,508 sf in the Philadelphia suburb of Warminster, Pa., and the 134,276-sf Parkway Shopping Center in Allentown, Pa., which had backed a $9.6 million loan and is now classified as real estate owned.

The Davisville property is 83.8 percent leased and anchored by an Acme supermarket, which leases nearly 53,000 sf through August 2021, but the grocer long ago vacated its space. The property, which is contaminated by perchloroethylene from a former dry cleaner tenant, last appraised at a value of $8.9 million. The starting bid for the loan is $1.75 million.

The Parkway center, meanwhile, is 51.8 percent occupied by tenants that include Family Dollar, which occupies nearly 10,000 sf under a lease that matures at the end of next year, and IHOP, which leases 4,300 sf through April 2025. The property was appraised last May at a value of $8.8 million. Opening bid is set at $2.9 million.

November 14, 2018

Mission Capital Advisors’ debt and equity finance group has arranged $13 million of non-recourse, floating-rate financing on behalf of an affiliate of the Sterling Organization. The loan recapitalizes 110 E. Pearson St., a 9,000-square-foot vacant retail property in the heart of the Magnificent Mile.

Jonathan More, Alex Draganiuk, Lexington Henn and Justin Hunt of Mission Capital secured the loan from Thorofare Capital. The loan will be used to capitalize the property, lease up the available space and implement significant capital improvements.

Thorofare’s willingness to provide financing stemmed from the firm’s recognition of the sponsor’s strong track record in value-add retail and the property’s desirable location, said Felix Gutnikov, the firm’s head of origination.

“We were able to offer Sterling Organization a structured financing solution for a well-located retail asset within one of the most recognized shopping districts in the country,” he said. Mission and Thorofare have completed several deals together.

Sterling lands $13M refi for retail space at Near North Side tower

The Thorofare Capital loan will help Sterling renovate and lease the former Bar Toma space


November 9, 2018

The Sterling Organization landed a $13 million refinancing on the retail space in a tower just off Michigan Avenue on the Near North Side.

The Palm Beach-based equity fund earlier this year bought the 9,000-square-foot retail portion at the base of the 57-story tower at 110 East Pearson Street for $15.2 million. The space is best known as the former home of Bar Toma, a restaurant that opened in 2011 and shuttered in January 2017.

Thorofare Capital supplied the non-recourse, floating-rate loan, which was arranged by Mission Capital Advisors’ Jonathan More, Alex Draganiuk, Lexington Henn, and Justin Hunt. Part of the proceeds will be used to find tenants and make “significant” capital improvements.

Now vacant, the property consists of 7,300 square feet on the ground floor and 1,800 square feet on the mezzanine level.

Sterling paid $1,616 per square foot for the space at the base of the tower, which was built in the 1970s.

It was the company’s second Downtown retail deal in a few months, following April’s $8.1 million purchase of the 87,100-square-foot office building at 219 South State Street, which also includes street retail currently occupied by three Foot Locker-brand shoe stores. It took out an $18.3 million loan from Los Angeles-based Karlin Real Estate to finance that purchase and planned renovations of the building.

In September, Sterling paid $20 million to acquire Hillside Town Center, a nearly 165,000-square-foot retail park in west suburban Hillside. It also bought the 101,000-square-foot Prairie Market shopping center in far west suburban Oswego, but would not disclose the purchase price.

Mission Capital Arranges $13M Loan for ‘Magnificent Mile’ Retail Property


November 14, 2018

CHICAGO, IL — Mission Capital Advisors‘ Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $13 million of non-recourse, floating-rate financing on behalf of an affiliate of the Sterling Organization to recapitalize 110 East Pearson Street, a 9,000-square-foot vacant retail property in the heart of the Magnificent Mile section of Chicago.

Jonathan More, Alex Draganiuk, Lexington Henn, and Justin Hunt of the Mission Capital team secured the loan from Thorofare Capital, a Los Angeles-based national commercial real estate loan origination and servicing company. The loan features a competitive leverage level with flexibility for future capital expense funding and leasing terms and will be used to capitalize the property, lease up the available space and implement significant capital improvements.

Currently vacant, the property consists of 7,303 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 1,789 square feet of retail space on the mezzanine level. For Mission Capital Advisors, the transaction reflects the firm’s ability to find appropriate capital providers for innovative developers across the country.

Thorofare’s willingness to provide financing stemmed from the firm’s recognition of the sponsor’s strong track record in value-add retail, as well the property’s desirable location, according to Felix Gutnikov, Thorofare’s head of origination.

“As a trusted lender, Thorofare has enjoyed a very positive relationship with Mission Capital Advisors and has completed several transactions with the firm and its clients,” Gutnikov says. “We were able to offer Sterling Organization a structured financing solution for a well-located retail asset within one of the most recognized shopping districts in the country.”

The property is ideally situated in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the city’s largest and most vibrant shopping district, which has approximately $1.9 billion of annual retail sales. Over the past year, the district has seen retail vacancies decline, while rents have grown by nearly seven percent, further underscoring the property’s latent potential.

With occupancy of 43 percent, office-industrial complex offers investors an income-producing asset with room to add significant value.

ELGIN, Ill. (November 5, 2018)

Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solutions firm, today announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing the Leslie Oaks Business Center, a 255,304-square-foot office and industrial complex located at 580-735 Tollgate Road in Elgin, Illinois. The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski, and Rob Beyer is marketing the property on behalf of the seller, a CMBS special servicer. The property will be auctioned on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on November 12 and closing on November 14.

The eight buildings that make up the property were constructed between 1988 and 1999 on two neighboring, but non-contiguous, parcels within the Tollgate Industrial Park. Close to 90 percent of the property’s square footage is office space, with the remaining space optimized for warehouse use. The complex has a diverse array of 14 national, regional, and local tenants, including Staples, National Louis University, Zimmer Biomet, and Clinical Computer (OBIX). The property is just over 43-percent occupied, providing buyers with room to add significant value for a fairly modest investment.

“We expect to receive a lot of interest from opportunistic, value-add buyers who recognize the favorable market dynamics,” said Kaminski. “With a strong foundation of in-place tenants, many who have been at the property long term, the complex will deliver immediate cash flow to the buyer. The property has an ideal location at the interchange of Route 31 and Interstate 90, and this excellent access should help a buyer tenant the property and in turn achieve outsized returns on their investment.”

The complex features ample parking, tenant-controlled HVAC, and close proximity to local restaurants and hotels. The warehouse space features 12.5’ clear heights, 13 drive-in doors, and six dock-high loading entrances.
“Several major tenants recently signed lease renewals, underscoring the property’s significant attraction to office and industrial tenants,” said Kaminski. “With the combination of numerous long-term tenants and the opportunity to create additional value, this property will be a ‘can’t-miss’ investment for value-add buyers who know the local market and want to acquire an asset at an attractive basis.”

Located in a well-performing submarket in northwestern Chicagoland, the offering is situated near Interstate 90, Route 31, Interstate 290, and Interstate 355. The property is located in the Chicago Metropolitan Area, spanning across Illinois, northwest Indiana, and southeast Wisconsin, which is home to over 9.6 million people.

Capital advisor secures non-recourse loan for local developer’s residential, commercial and parking project

AUSTIN, Texas – Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $29.4 million in non-recourse financing for the construction of 1600 S 1st Street, an 86,700-square-foot, mixed-use condo and commercial development in the Bouldin neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The Mission Capital team of Jason Parker, Steven Buchwald and Jamie Matheny represented developer PSW Real Estate, LLC in arranging the senior loan from a local debt fund.

Situated in the heart of South Austin, the four-story property will feature 59 innovative residential condominiums, approximately 22,800 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 321-space underground parking garage. The 59 residences include six studio units, 26 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units. The property will also feature a wide range of amenities, including a private resident roof deck and a second-floor resident courtyard.

“Austin’s recent growth has been well-documented, and the area around this property has seen its population increase by a staggering 27 percent since 2010,” said Parker. “While It is somewhat challenging to get construction financing for ground-up condos at this stage of the cycle, we were able to achieve our client’s goals by stressing the unmatched demand in this location and the strength of the sponsor’s business plan. We ultimately closed favorable financing with a local debt fund, which provided a non-recourse loan.”

The property’s location in the heart of South Austin positions it just one mile south of the Austin central business district, providing easy access to a myriad of restaurants, retail, and entertainment options. With the neighborhood’s recent population and job growth, this section of Austin suffers from a scarcity of residential, commercial and parking space, and this new development should help meet the local community’s demand for space.

“PSW is known in this region as a savvy developer that is plugged into the market dynamics in every submarket, and they realized they could capitalize on the area’s growth and provide much-needed product to local residents and businesses,” said Buchwald. “With their track record of success and knowledge of the local market, we were able to generate numerous bids, ultimately closing this strong deal with a local debt fund.”

Austin-based PSW is a nationally acclaimed real estate developer and homebuilder that designs and builds urban living environments for people who care about quality and their impact on the world around them. PSW is active in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Seattle, and Denver. Utilizing a discerning eye for creating value, PSW thoughtfully produces homes and communities that naturally integrate into their surrounding neighborhoods. With a vision for how the world will be living and working in the future, PSW creates homes that offer proximity to work, school and other important resources while implementing energy efficient construction methods and materials.

Cross Collateralization of Two Properties Situated Across the Street from Each Other Exemplifies Firm’s Ability to Complete Unique Deals

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $19.25 in non-recourse, floating-rate financing for the acquisition of a portfolio of extended-stay hotels in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The Mission Capital team of Beau Williams, Steven Buchwald, and Lexington Henn represented the sponsor, a partnership of Milestone Companies and Woodmont Lodging, in arranging acquisition financing for the two properties that comprise the portfolio – a 91-key Home2 Suites by Hilton and a 95-key SpringHill Suites by Marriott. The properties are located at 1010 Marriott Crossing Way and 1015 Marriott Crossing Way, respectively.

“Despite the fact that the Home2 Suites just recently opened and had limited operating history, we were able to create significant competition among our network of lenders, who were attracted to the strength of the sponsor and the projected debt yield,” said Williams. “The hotels’ close proximity to one another will enable the sponsor to limit operating expenses, while the two properties will benefit from being part of the Marriott and Hilton reservations systems. With these factors at play, we received strong interest from capital providers and closed a very strong deal for the borrower.”

The hotels are situated just off of I-40, seven miles from downtown Winston-Salem and Wake Forest University, and under 30 miles from the Piedmont Triad International Airport. The SpringHill Suites Winston-Salem, which opened in 2009, underwent substantial property improvements in 2017, including a full renovation of its guestrooms, lobby, furniture and fixtures, and a build-out of its ground-floor breakfast area.

Completed in February 2018, the Home2 Suites Winston-Salem is among the newest hotels from Hilton Worldwide, the second-largest hospitality company in the world. As a result, it will require few capital expenditures, while providing significant upside during its ramp up. The financing is the second loan that Mission Capital has secured on a Home2 Suites branded property this year. In August, the firm arranged a $19 million CMBS loan for the refinance of the Home2 Suites by Hilton in downtown Greenville, South Carolina.

“If the performance of the Home2 Suites in Greeneville and other locales is any indication of the success that the brand will experience in Winston-Salem, we anticipate a quick stabilization and high NOI margin. The resultant additional cash flow will be added to the already-robust net operating income that’s currently being generated by SpringHill Suites,” Williams said.

The portfolio will be managed by Milestone Hospitality Management, LLC, which is controlled by the principals of Milestone, a fully integrated hospitality investment and development firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. Milestone’s executive leadership team has invested in, managed, and developed over 90 hotels across 25 states over the course of their respective careers. Asset management services will be provided by Woodmont Lodging, which has vast experience across the lodging industry.

Developer retires construction loan, inks creative interim financing at attractive rate

TAMPA, Fla.Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance team has structured a creative $53-million non-recourse ramp loan for The Godfrey Hotel and Cabanas Tampa, a newly renovated, 276-key, waterfront hotel located at 7700 West Courtney Campbell Causeway in Tampa, Florida.

The Mission Capital team of Jordan Ray, Ari Hirt, Alex Draganiuk and Justin Hunt represented an affiliate of Oxford Capital Group in securing the loan from Marathon Asset Management. The financing will be used to repay the property’s construction loan and return additional capital to the sponsor.

The waterfront property is a Tampa icon that was once owned by the New York Yankees, and served as the club’s Spring Training home for several decades. In 2015, Oxford acquired the hotel with plans for a comprehensive redevelopment that would include creating Tampa’s premier lifestyle hospitality property, replete with top-of-the-line amenities and the recently opened WTR Pool & Grill. An upscale pool, cabana club, bar and corporate event space, WTR provides guests with an unmatched experience of luxury in a modern tropical setting, featuring handcrafted cocktails, exquisite dining and entertainment in a poolside area overlooking Tampa Bay.

“Oxford bought this property with the vision to create a unique hotel that has the best poolside venue in the Tampa market,” said Ray. “Just a month after the WTR Pool & Grill opened, there is a lot of action at the hotel and the pool, and we were able to repay the construction financing and replace it with a ramp loan with earn-outs at very attractive terms.”

In addition to the pool and cabanas, Oxford’s comprehensive repositioning campaign included the addition of 15 guest rooms; complete renovations of existing guestrooms, with hardwood flooring, marble countertops and other top-of-the-line amenities; and a complete renovation of the lobby, including the addition of a café and wine bar.

“Ramp loans are based in large part on projecting the property’s path to stability, and that adds a wrinkle of complexity that not all lenders can underwrite,” said Hirt. “However, Oxford’s long standing track record, as well as the incredible product they’ve created at the property, gave capital providers extreme confidence in the sponsor’s business plan. We produced a healthy market with several lenders vying for the deal, and we ultimately closed this floating-rate loan with very strong proceeds.”

Added Hirt: “The loan we ultimately closed is structured with an immediate return on equity as well as an additional earn-out once certain benchmarks are reached, which will bring the total proceeds to the full $53 million.”

Oxford Capital Group, LLC is a national hospitality focused real estate investment, development and management firm. Oxford Hotels and Resorts, LLC is its wholly owned hotel operating and branding affiliate. Oxford, its affiliates, and principals have been involved in approximately $3 billion of real estate and private equity investments, including approximately 13,000 hotel rooms and over 2,000 senior housing units. Among the firm’s most impressive recent developments is Essex on the Park in Chicago, which includes the expansion and comprehensive redevelopment of the historic Essex Inn on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and the ground-up construction of an adjacent 479-unit luxury apartment building. The property, whose $170-million construction loan was also arranged by Mission Capital, is slated to open in spring of 2019. For information, visit www.oxford-capital.com or www.ohrllc.com.
