Hersha Hospitality Buys The Westin Hotel in Philadelphia

LaSalle Hotel Properties sold The Westin Hotel at 99 S. 17th St. in Philadelphia, PA for $135 million, or about $459,000 per room, to Hersha Hospitality Trust.

The seller acquired the asset from HEI Hotels & Resorts for $145 million ($493,000 /room) back in September 2010, according to CoStar data.

The 14-story, 240,006-square-foot hospitality building originally opened as the Ritz-Carlton in 1990 and was renovated in 2015. It sits on one acre in the Market Street West submarket, part of the mixed-use Liberty Place development and in close proximity to the new Comcast Innovation Tower, Rittenhouse Square, Pennsylvania Convention Center and University City. The Westin flag is operated under Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.

The hotel consists of 294 guest rooms including 19 suites, 16,600 square feet of meeting space and a 7,500-square-foot ballroom, on-site restaurant and bar/lounge/nightclub, subterranean parking garage, and boasts an 84-percent average occupancy and RevPAR at $188.73. In a statement, Hersha reported the Westin sale resulted in a 7.8% CAP rate based on LTM, and for fiscal year 2016 the hotel had an average daily rate (ADR) of $225.

The buyer financed the acquisition in-part with proceeds from the sale of three suburban Hyatt extended-stay properties on the West Coast that occurred around the same time and resulted in $130.5 million in net proceeds for the hospitality-focused REIT. Hersha's Philadelphia cluster also includes The Rittenhouse Hotel and the Hampton Inn Convention Center.

"The successful closing of this transaction marks the 24th month of our capital recycling campaign during which we sold approximately $850 million of mature, stabilized hotels and successfully deferred $270 million of taxable gains with $816 million of accretive acquisitions," said Jay H. Shah, CEO of Hersha. "In addition to refining our portfolio’s market mix to urban gateway and coastal destinations, our improved portfolio quality focuses our capabilities on hotels with higher RevPAR and EBITDA growth potential in our core markets. We are pleased to acquire the Westin at an attractive basis, expanding our Philadelphia cluster to include the leading corporate hotel in the market."

Endurance acquires 456,000 SF in Shiremanstown, PA

n affiliate of Endurance Real Estate Group, LLC (“Endurance”) is pleased to announce its recent off-market acquisition of 485 St. Johns Church Rd. in Shiremanstown, PA. The 712,000 SF former manufacturing/distribution/office facility is being redeveloped into over 456,000 SF of Class A bulk warehouse/distribution space. The property was owned and occupied by the Quaker Oats Company through the early 2000’s. Endurance has partnered with CenterSquare Investment Management in a joint venture to acquire and redevelop the property.

After closing, Endurance commenced demolition of approximately 500,000 SF of manufacturing, office and low-bay warehouse sections of the property.  Subsequent phases will include the renovation and expansion of the existing 28’ clear East Warehouse section, and a slab-up re-construction of the West Warehouse with a new 32’ clear, Class A facility.  Upon completion, the property will offer 456,810 SF of strategically located bulk warehouse/distribution space in an infill section of Harrisburg’s densely populated West Shore area.

The entire facility will be equipped with an ESFR sprinkler system, high efficiency T-5 lighting, a 190’ truck court, 60’ truck dock apron, significant parking for cars and trailers, and an approximately 1 per 6,000 SF loading dock ratio. The property will efficiently demise, with an existing demising wall and multiple gas and electrical service points facilitating division of the building down to 100,000 SF or smaller suites.

The West Warehouse section (210,675 SF) will feature precast wall construction @ 32’ clear, 54’ wide x 48’ deep column spacing, a 60’ deep speed bay, a 2,000 amp electrical service, an ESFR sprinkler system, and 38 loading docks fitted with 9’ x 10’ doors, 45,000 lb. levelers, bumpers, seals, lights and fans.

The East Warehouse (246,135 SF) will consist of an expanded and fully refurbished 28’ clear space improved with a new 2,000 amp electrical service, an ESFR sprinkler system, renovated office space, and supplemental loading dock positions including 9’ x 10’ doors, 45,000 lb. levelers, bumpers, seals, lights and fans.

Demolition is actively underway at the property, with a targeted delivery of July 2018 for the new 210,675 SF West Warehouse and an April 2018 delivery for the renovated and expanded 246,135 SF East Warehouse.

The site benefits from two means of ingress/egress, with frontage on both Railroad Avenue and St. Johns Church Road.  It is located less than a mile from Rt. 581 (Capital Beltway) and one mile from Rt. 15, providing immediate access to Interstates 76, 81 and 83, and enabling shipments to over 40% of the US population in one day. The property is also situated in close proximity to multiple FedEx, UPS hubs, Norfolk Southern and common carrier (OTR) hub facilities.

“We are very excited to be undertaking this unique redevelopment opportunity to deliver Class A warehouse/distribution space in such a densely populated area with terrific labor characteristics,” said David Erlbaum, Vice President of Acquisitions and Development at Endurance. “Opportunities like this are few and far between given the tremendous desirability of the Eastern PA industrial market to investors, and opportunities to acquire a site of this size in such a dense, infill location are extremely rare. We jumped all over this opportunity when it was presented to us.”

Founded in 2002, Endurance is a Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania-based real estate owner/developer focused on income and value creation opportunities in the Mid- Atlantic region with a concentration in office and regional and bulk warehouse/distribution assets. Endurance’s current portfolio consists of close to four million square feet of warehouse/distribution, flex, and office assets. Affiliates of Endurance have closed on nine separate transactions over the last 3 years, totaling over 2.5 million square feet of warehouse, distribution, office, and flex space.

Land acquisition in Royersford’s former industrial district first step in revitalization project

By Michael Sneff, The Mercury
The Riverfront at Royersford LLC recently acquired a six-acre section of land in the former industrial district of Royersford, intersecting 1st Avenue and Main Street, on the Schuylkill River. The acquisition is the latest step in ongoing efforts to revitalize the former industrial district along the borough’s waterfront.

“Royersford already has so much to offer and it is our intent to expand business and recreation along the riverfront,” said Richard Lewis, president of The Lewis Group, in a press release. The Lewis Group owns Riverfront at Royersford.

During a recent walkthrough of the property, Lewis stated that the Riverfront at Royersford is a “legacy project,” one that has the future of the borough in mind above all else.

“This end of town historically has been commercial,” Lewis said. “We really think that this can be a game changer in terms of bringing some new businesses and new life to this end of the borough.”

Advertisement
The land formerly belonged to Buckwalter Stove and was the site of factories and other industrial operations, including Continental Stove Works, which at one time, was one of the biggest stove factories in the United States.

There are currently several businesses operating along the waterfront, according to Lewis, ranging from an aerospace engineering company, a foundry and a bowling supply company.

The deal, according to Lewis, took nearly seven years to lock down, as plans have changed and been adjusted. Under a previous contractor, plans called for the development of new apartment complexes on the site.

“For us, residential was really not the most ideal of situations, considering the railroad and crossings,” Lewis said. “A motivating factor in acquiring the site was actually to keep a residential property from being developed.”

Lewis said the property would be much more beneficial as a commercial setting. With a residential complex already being established across Main Street, Lewis said having a place for those people to shop and recreate would be more of a draw.

Anil Dham, president of the Royersford borough council, has been working closely with The Lewis Group as well as other local business owners and citizens to revitalize the borough.

“Only a few years ago on Main Street, there were 13 or so empty store fronts. Now, there’s only one. That says something about this town,” Dham said. “With this, the development will bring in more tax money, as well as create additional recreational opportunities.”

Prominent locations on Main Street include multiple cafés and restaurants, as well as businesses and offices. The plan, according to Dham, is to add on to the precedent they have there now.

The riverfront site is connected to an abandoned railroad trestle which Lewis is looking to bring back to life as a pedestrian walkway and bike path connecting Royersford to the Schuylkill River Trail system across the river in Chester County, according to a press release.

“We want people to see the Riverfront for the asset that it truly is, and get people back down into this end of town,” Lewis said. “We’ve met a lot of great people here; it’s a great place to live.”

Lewis said that a big inspiration on how to do a revitalization project right, is what he is seeing in Phoenixville and Pottstown, and that Royersford is in a good place to start something similar to what has been done in the other communities.

“We’re trying to temper some excitement from people living around here,” Dham said. “This project’s really got some legs, and we’re very excited to see where it goes.”

A surveying process of the property is currently underway, and the lot will be cleared of debris by Lewis Group crews. Further consideration of the potential development opportunities is ongoing.

Based in Royersford, The Lewis Group also operates Lewis Environmental Inc., Lewis Property Services and works in the remediation, revitalization and repurposing of former industrial sites.

Duck Donuts Expands into King of Prussia Town Center

Deciding to open a Duck Donuts in King of Prussia Town Center was an easy choice for the founder and owner Russ DiGilio, writes Kenneth Hilario for Philadelphia Business Journal.

“King of Prussia is known as the ultimate shopping and dining destination,” said DiGilio in an interview with Philadelphia Business Journal. “We felt the family-friendly, community atmosphere at the King of Prussia Town Center would make a great fit for our franchise brand.”

Another factor is that DiGilio grew up in Rosemont, making this a kind of homecoming.

Now, with the July 8 opening behind him, DiGilio plans to open shops in Chester County, increase the locations in Montgomery County and expand across Pennsylvania.

When it comes to his competitors, DiGilio said he believes that Duck Donuts warm, delicious, and made-to-order product set it apart from other doughnut shops in the area.

“Our famous doughnuts are made the way you like them every time,” he said. “Children can even stand on a step strategically placed in front of our doughnut machines and watch their doughnuts cook and then hand dipped to order.”

Mixed Use Development Planned For Former Nabisco Site In Northeast Philadelphia

by Steve Lubetkin, Globest.com
The new mixed-use development planned for the site of a former Nabisco bakery on the Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia will start with construction of a new super Wawa convenience store, according to developers of the former manufacturing site.

The Provco Group began demolition of the former Nabisco facility last month, and hopes to bring a new development that will better serve the neighborhood around the iconic cookie factory.

“We are thrilled to own this iconic, landmark property”, says Michael Cooley, vice president of real estate for The Provco Group. “The goal and commitment to our neighbors of the Somerton Civic Association and district councilman Brian O’Neill, is to create a project not only unique to Roosevelt Boulevard, but to the region.”

For many decades, the Nabisco factory, a 600,000 square-foot facility originally built by the National Biscuit Company in the 1950s, was famous for the aroma of fresh baked cookies that billowed throughout the neighborhoods. The baking operation ceased production in 2015 and the 27-acre property sold a year later to a joint venture led by Provco, Goodman Properties and MCB Real Estate. Shortly thereafter, a portion of the facility was leased to Jako Enterprises, a company that owns and operates over 50 retail sneaker stores under the Kicks USA brand.

When the project went public, Cooley says former Nabisco employees contacted him to express their respect and appreciation for the building, which provided more than 800 jobs at its peak.

“It was great to hear from former Nabisco employees,” Cooley says. “They asked me if I could save some of the bricks and give them away for keepsakes. This is a special place to many people, so I plan to also use some of those old bricks for the new streetscape amenities we’re building, so that a piece of the factory stands forever.”

With demolition underway, the first phase of development will deliver a Wawa convenience store and gas station pad, expected to begin construction this fall for a Summer 2018 opening.

The developers are looking for other retail tenants for the property.

“I am in dialogue with several, unique, retail and family entertainment concepts that don’t currently exist in this region,” Cooley says. “These types of uses would not only generate net-new jobs but also create a destination that draws folks from a distance. Ultimately, we want to provide uses that will better serve the neighborhood and are excited to work towards delivering a quality project that residents of Northeast Philadelphia can be proud of.”

Dermody Acquires Woodmont's Industrial In Middletown, PA For $76M

by Steve Lubetkin Globest.com
After transforming Capital Logistics Center into one of the most modern logistic and industrial parks in Pennsylvania, Woodmont Industrial Partners and AEW Capital Management have sold the asset to Dermody Properties, which develops and operates industrial properties across the country. Citing Dauphin County, PA, property records, the central Pennsylvania news website PennLive.com reported the sale price was approximately $76.1 million.

Woodmont and AEW finalized the sale following an extensive capital improvement program of the six-building, 1.55-million-square-foot complex in Middletown, PA. The partnership constructed the new industrial facilities to replace the antiquated structures that previously occupied both 200 and 300 Capital Lane.

“Dermody Properties is very pleased to acquire this well-located five-building business park in Central Pennsylvania,” says Eugene Preston, Dermody’s partner for its Eastern Region.  ”The property fits well in our company’s portfolio from both a tenant roster and geographical diversification perspective. Dermody Properties is growing the portfolio with a mix of building acquisitions and development projects.”

“This transaction represents a multitude of asset classes including stabilized core product, vacant value-add product and additional land development. In addition to the highly desirable location, extensive renovations completed by Woodmont/AEW leave the assets well-positioned for the user community, as evidenced by a major food distributor’s recent decision to occupy 400,000 square feet of class A space.”

In 2016, Woodmont and AEW completed nearly 500,000 square feet of positive net absorption including a full-building lease with a multinational food manufacturing company at 200 Capital Lane. The 400,060-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility achieved LEED Silver certification shortly after being constructed in 2014. Additionally, WIP and AEW Capital signed a 77,987-square-foot lease with full-service freight transportation provider Estes Express Lines at 400 Capital Lane, bringing the building to full occupancy.

“Our decision to heavily invest in the renovation of Capital Logistics Center over the past several years was validated with this sale,” says Eric Witmondt, principal of Woodmont Industrial Partners. “We were able to position this property to coincide with a strong demand in the market and attract quality tenants, which ultimately led to the right timing for this sale. We look forward to continuing our successful relationship with AEW and plan to remain active in the Harrisburg market.”

Situated on more than 100 acres in Central Pennsylvania, at the heart of the I-81 Distribution Corridor, Capital Logistics Center fronts the Pennsylvania Turnpike and is less than a mile away from Harrisburg International Airport. The property is also near local FedEx and UPS facilities, as well as routes I-283, I-83 and 322.

“As demand for class A industrial product in the Northeast continues to grow, so too does our portfolio,” Witmondt says. “In 2017, we will continue to capitalize on opportunities to acquire properties that are ripe for revitalization in key submarkets throughout the region.”

Kairos buys Blue Bell office building

Natalie Kostelni
Reporter
Philadelphia Business Journal
Kairos Real Estate Partners has picked up another office building in the Blue Bell, Pa., submarket and bought 980 Jolly Road, a 150,000-square-foot building Aetna Inc. had vacated years ago.

The King of Prussia real estate company bought the two-building complex with Artemis Real Estate Partners from Aetna for an undisclosed amount. Montgomery County property records indicate the property traded for $5.27 million.

This is the second office building Kairos has acquired in the Montgomery County community. Last August, the same partnership involving Kairos paid $3.3 million for 518 Township Line Road, a 124,000-square-foot office building.

“We’re doubling down on Blue Bell,” said Stephen J. Gleason, president of Kairos. “We think Blue Bell is a great alternative to the Main Line.”

In general, Philadelphia's suburban office market is doing fairly well as companies lease up space and expand. Markets such as Radnor, Conshohocken and King of Prussia have experienced robust activity, making large blocks scarce and pushed rents up. But for build-to-suits, there has been no new construction underway, giving tenants limited options when it comes to large blocks of existing space.

The increased tightness has pushed tenants looking for space and more affordable rents further out to areas such as Blue Bell, Fort Washington and Horsham. They are markets that are often the last to recover from economic downturn and 10 years ago, many of the same dynamics — a shortage of big blocks, rising rents in first-ring submarkets— were at also at work when there was renewed attention by investors and tenants to Blue Bell and those other markets.

For the overall suburbs, the total vacancy rate stood at 16.7 percent at the end of the first quarter and there was an absorption of 372,539 square feet, according to CBRE Inc. data. Blue Bell, which has nearly 4 million square feet of office space, has a total vacancy rate of 22.8 percent and average asking rents of $28.70.
