C-III Capital Partners, in a joint venture with Transwestern, purchased Camelback Esplanade III for a total of $60.25 million. The 218,387 square foot office building in Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the five office buildings that make up the Camelback Esplanade. The building was previously owned by CH Realty VII/O Phoenix Esplanade LLC, a company formed by Crow Holdings Capital Partners LLC in Dallas, Texas.

Camelback Esplanade III is a ten-story office building at 2425 East Camelback Road. The surrounding Camelback Esplanade corridor offers a broad spectrum of amenities for tenants such as a hotel, a Starbucks, City Market Deli and Merc Bar, as well as an AMC dine-in movie theater. The development is located just across the road from Biltmore Fashion Park, a luxury shopping center with more than 60 high-end retailers and restaurants.

Barry Gabel, Chris Marchildon, and Will Mast of CBRE Capital Markets in Phoenix represented the seller while Jim Fijan and Jack Fijan of Transwestern represented the buyer. Bill Zurek and Jim Achen of Transwestern will oversee the leasing and management of the property.

Gabel comments that with its prime location and Energy Star-rated and LEED® Gold Certified Construction, the sale of Camelback Esplanade III indicates a bright future for the Phoenix metro area.

“With its combination of timeless trophy-quality construction and unmatched location at 24th and Camelback Road, Camelback Esplanade III is part of an exclusive group of true Class A office assets in Phoenix,” said Gabel. “This sale is a clear indicator of the long-term economic prospect of metro Phoenix.”

At the acquisition of Camelback Esplanade III, the building was around 50% occupied leaving room for more tenants to take advantage of the prime Class A office space.

Posted by admin on Feb 20, 2019

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.

C-III Subsidiary Makes Mark in Atlanta Submarket

Posted by admin on May 10, 2018

Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc. has announced on February 12, 2018 that it has agreed to buy Tramore Village, which is located in Austell, Georgia. This area consists of a 324-unit apartment community located right outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc. is a company owned by C-III Capital Partners LLC, which is one of the many real estate companies owned by Andrew L. Farkas.

Austell is a submarket of Atlanta that is growing very rapidly, thanks to its proximity to Atlanta. Residents of Tramore Village have access to over 300,000 jobs as well as several medical facilities in the surrounding areas of the apartment complex. This makes the purchase an ideal acquisition for C-III Capital Partners LLC, as well as a growing asset to Andrew Farkas’ company.

With Atlanta, Georgia being as well known as it is, there are several notable companies that have opened up offices right by Tramore Village. Some of these companies include but aren’t limited to AllState Insurance, Vonage Solution, and Wellstar. Residents can access these companies in addition to surrounding health care facilities via public transportation.

C-III is always looking for new opportunities to invest in properties around the country. An example of a similar purchase this company made occurred in December 2017 in Lakewood, a submarket located in Denver, Colorado. Although this purchase was to acquire office space and not an apartment complex, it is also a rapidly growing area in Colorado that offers ample of public transportation, just like Austell.

C-III Capital Partners, LLC acquired Resource Apartment REIT III, Inc. in 2016 and has utilized the company to make purchases such as Tramore Village in up and coming urban areas ever since. C-III owns several other well-known subsidiaries like NAI Global, Real Capital Markets, US Residential Property Management, and many more. The purchase of Tramore Village will continue to push C-III Capital Markets in a positive direction under the leadership of Andrew Farkas.
