Iconic Building changes hands, NAI Ohio Equities brokers deal

One of the most recognizable buildings in Northern Columbus,1105 Schrock Rd has a new owner this morning, due to impressive marketing efforts of Matt Gregory, Phil Bird and Mike Simpson of NAI Ohio Equities. At the time of transfer, the 213,000 SF building was over 85% occupied at the time of sale.  The property is recognized by its prominent fountain visible from I-71.  “Although the property was taken back by the bank in 2010,” says team lead Matt Gregory, “Our challenge was to present it as a Class A office investment, not a distressed asset.’” After securing lease renewals from the four anchor tenants, the team set about filling vacant space in the property. Combined with ongoing property upgrades, the resulting offering garnered 6 offers – and the property sold to a Canadian investor on July 11th. The selling price of almost $10,000,000 – or almost $45 per square foot – belied its “Distressed asset value.” Sandy Simpson boasts, “We’re very proud of this team and think that this their dramatic success will lead to further assignments of this type.” (more…)

Industrial Market Trends are Changing Tenants’ Approach to Lease Renewals

With $17.3 billion in commercial mortgages coming due in 2012, landlords are more motivated than ever to incentivize tenants to renew their existing leases. Landlords are trying to stabilize their buildings and refinance. To do so, they must show a strong rent roll to the bank.

Some incentives such as free rent, reduced rent (blend and extend), upgraded lighting and dock doors have become common concessions offered by landlords to tenants who renew. It’s easier and safer for landlords to provide these concessions and keep their current tenants than try to re-fill the space. (more…)

by Andrew Schnitkey in

Over the past few years you have most likely heard of commercial properties going “into receivership”. This happens usually when a lender initiates foreclosure on a borrower in default of its mortgage agreement. If the Judge determines cause exists to preserve and protect a creditor’s asset, a receiver will be appointed to manage and control the asset during the foreclosure process. (more…)

Development Remains Strong in Slow Economy

There’s no question the recent economic recession has had a major impact on the commercial real estate industry all across the country. As banks tightened up on lending and businesses in almost every industry faced cutbacks and profit losses, so too did commercial real estate transactions slow down.

Despite the recession and any subsequent cutbacks, development in Columbus, Ohio has remained strong and continues to thrive to this day. Whether it be new residential communities, hotels, office complexes, or retail centers, Columbus has experienced a multitude of new development projects that have carried through the economic slow times.

One of the longest planned projects is the new boutique hotel, four-story office and retail building, and five-story parking garage development in the short north from Columbus-based developer Pizzuti. Plans for this development were first revealed in 2008, and received final zoning approval in March 2012, with a projected opening in early 2014. The hotel, called “The Joseph”, will be a ten-story, 135 room hotel located at 618 N High Street. (more…)

3rd Quarter Market Report

An upgrade to the Panama Canal in 2014 could provide a major boost to Central Ohio’s logistics industry.

In preparation for the upgrade, the United States has begun enhancing infrastructure to better handle larger ships, increased volume of shipping traffic, and increased use of rail to transport cargo from east coast ports to Midwest logistics hubs.

The Panama Canal is one of two inland routes used to ship products from Asia to the east coast. Currently the canal is limited in the size of ocean carriers it can handle. Upgrades to the canal in 2014 will add an additional lane to the current two lanes and also boost the size of ships it can support from a maximum of 4,800 containers to a maximum of 8,000 containers. These upgrades are expected to increase the volume of cargo coming into east coast ports, such as Norfolk, Virginia and Charleston, South Carolina.
