JV partnership acquires 15-building Tampa Flex property
JLL Capital Markets arranged the $31.75M sale and $26.25M loan for the acquisition of the property
TAMPA, Fla., October 14, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $31.75 million sale of and arranged $26.25 million in financing for Breckenridge Park, a 15-building, 334,000-square-foot office and flex complex in Tampa, Florida.
JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, MLG/PF Breckenridge Investment LLC, which is affiliated with MLG Capital. A joint venture partnership between The Arden Group and Avistone purchased the asset. Additionally, JLL worked on behalf of the borrower to place a floating-rate loan with BlackRock. Loan proceeds will be used to acquire the property and implement a capital improvement plan.
Completed between 1982 and 1998, the complex is leased to a diverse mix of local and national tenants, the largest of which occupies 11.8% of the GLA. Breckenridge Park is situated on 30 acres at Breckenridge Parkway in eastern Tampa, near multiple major Central Florida thoroughfares, including Interstates 4, 75 and 275, U.S. Route 301 and the LeRoy Selmon Expressway, all providing access to Florida’s largest metro areas, along with several major MSAs in the southeastern United States.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales team representing the seller included Senior Director Bret Felberg, Senior Managing Director Jeff Morris, Managing Director John Dunphy and Associate Peter Cecora.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Placement team representing the new owner was led by Director Jillian Mariutti, Senior Director Brian Gaswirth and Associates Michael DiCosimo and Drew Jennewein.
“There was a lot of lender interest for this high-quality asset due to its industrial component, high performance throughout the market volatility due to COVID and best-in-class sponsorship with The Arden Group and Avistone,” Mariutti said. “The buyers are well positioned to take advantage of the increased demand for flex product and ideal market fundamentals of greater Tampa.”
