Gallery Row, a 22,500-square-foot commercial property at the northeast corner of Skyline Drive and Campbell Avenue in Foothills, was purchased by Tucson-based Larsen Baker. The complex, which was originally built in 1999, will expand by 5,000 square feet with a second-story addition. Historically home to many prominent art galleries and restaurants, the space will transform into several high-end offices under the name Gallery Offices. The first two tenants of the space are Stewart Title & Trust and Skyline Dental. Both businesses have signed leases and are expected to open in the coming months.
Melissa Lal, President of Larsen Baker, stated, “Rather than continuing to compete with the newer retail at the intersection, we saw an opportunity to create beautiful offices with views, signage and convenient access for the high-end office users that want to be close to their clients.”
The property was purchased for $3.8 million from an investment trust, serviced by C-III Capital Partners, a fully-diversified asset management and commercial real estate services company. Andrew Farkas, CEO of C-III Capital Partners, is responsible for the immense success the company has had in investment sales and acquired property management. Farkas also serves as Chairman for C-III Capital Partners.
The property redesign, renaming, and rebranding will be completed in conjunction with Repp + Mclain, an architectural design firm local to Tucson, Arizona. Repp + Mclain specializes in creative and constructible design solutions. Their mission is to make modern spaces that enhance the environment and the lives of those they touch.

Real Capital Markets, the online marketplace for commercial real estate, has released its third Annual National Investor Sentiment Report. The report looks at market dynamics and investor activity to provide real estate investors with insights and advice for the upcoming year. The reports general focus is on the Retail, Industrial, and Multifamily sectors. Real Capital Markets is a subsidiary of C-III Capital Partners, founded and run by Andrew Farkas.
The 2019 report is generally optimistic, but with a cautionary tone. Sentiments by investors and survey participants in the report show that nearly two thirds of investors think that the market is somewhere in between boom or bust, largely due to the presence of strong market fundamentals. The report also identified multifamily homes as the most attractive asset class due to the central need for housing. 36% of the survey participants named multifamily homes as their top choice for investment, with industrial real estate as a close second.
One important takeaway from the report is that interest rates are a key factor for the market this year, and investors will have to adapt their strategies to fit the ever-changing market conditions. It is critical that real estate investors continue to look ahead for new opportunities for long-term growth.
Real Capital Markets has been a constant leader in innovation in the real estate market since its founding in 1999. It was acquired by C-III Capital Partners, and fits seamlessly into C-III’s portfolio of asset management and commercial real estate services. Andrew Farkas has successfully established C-III as a leader in the industry, leveraging the individual power of the different subsidiaries to deliver higher returns for investors.

The $25 million renovation at Maximo Marina in St. Petersburg, Florida has been completed after redevelopment and renovations by IGY Marinas. On behalf of the owner, Bixby Bridge Capital, IGY Marinas oversaw the project including all aspects of design, redevelopment and operations since 2015.
Maximo Marina is the largest covered boat slip marina in Florida, containing covered wet slips for vessels up to 100 feet in length. Maximo Marina now features a variety of world-class amenities including floating concrete docks, a state of the art fuel dock, boat lifts, complimentary WiFi, renovated support facilities, and the opening of the new Getaway Maximo Restaurant, the largest restaurant opening in south St. Petersburg in over a decade.
“This was a complex project from a design, permitting and execution standpoint. The marina was over 50 years old and IGY took great care to ensure that this marina was redesigned to be responsive to the market and the evolving sizes of vessels both for today and for the next 50 years. IGY worked with us to ensure that all the critical customer touchpoints were addressed and that the uniqueness of the marina was maintained, all while making sound cost-benefit recommendations. IGY was able to institute a phasing plan that allowed a portion of the marina to stay open throughout construction which was very important to our customers. We are very pleased that IGY and ORION were able to deliver this project on time and under budget,” said Steven Fass, a principal at Bixby.
With the complete renovation, Maximo Marina can welcome over 200 vessels in wet slips, where 142 are covered and 58 have lifts. The marina can also accommodate an additional 88 vessels with inside storage racks, and 200 in outside dry storage racks.
IGY Marinas continues to be well-known in the industry as a leading marina operator, redeveloping and operating marinas around the world.
