Clarion Partners’ Metro Park VI achieves LEED Platinum Certification

A

lexandria, VA — Clarion Partners’ Metro Park VI, a newly delivered 330,589 s/f trophy office tower has been awarded LEED Platinum certification by the US Green Building Council. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Core and Shell 2.0 Platinum level recognizes the building’s substantial reductions in building energy and water use, along with its exemplary level of indoor air quality. Developed by The Evans Company for New York-based Clarion Partners and designed by KlingStubbins, Metro Park VI is 60% pre-leased; Booz Allen & Hamilton has signed a ten-year, $40 million lease for 88,000 s/f. It is the final building within the 1.2 million s/f Metro Park office park, favored by Federal government contractors due to its proximity to Metrorail, the VRE commuter train, Fort Belvoir, and the newly relocated National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

The building also reduces water use dramatically – 50% in outdoor landscaping using and 30% indoors. “We are proud to receive USGBC’s highest level of recognition for our commitment to sustainability and high-performance design and construction,” said Marc DeLuca, managing director, Clarion Partners. “Metro Park VI demonstrates that developers do not have to make radical changes to conventional modern office building design, nor do they have to spend lavishly, in order to achieve substantial reductions in building energy and water use, along with greatly improved indoor air quality that can optimize tenants’ productivity and health.” n

Investment Sales: Recession’s After-effects Are Still In Play

U

ncertain capital flow for “in-between” deals, increased foreign investment money for big city properties, an increase in construction money, and signs of hope from the economy – those are some of the current trends in an investment sales market still impacted by the after-effects of an economic recession that “officially” ended nearly four years ago. Those after-effects are playing out in an investment sales market that has not completely stabilized. After a surge in sales in 2011, for example, the market slowed a bit in the first quarter of 2012, and not necessarily because there is not a sufficient supply of capital. Rather, there has been a lack of quality supply to fuel transactions. The analogy is that current supply is “two ends of the barbell,” with nothing in the middle. There is either a strong desire for high-quality core, long-term stabilized assets on one end of the barbell, or absolute rock bottom pricing providing the basis for opportunistic, value-add transactions on the other. For now, there is very little capital in the market to appropriately price deals in the middle of the barbell – deals that may be value-add in nature, but involve an investor or operator who has to do something with the asset to generate a significant yield. Put another way, those “in between” transactions currently providing little investment impetus are those that cannot guarantee long-term cash flow, or do not guarantee or have a significant opportunistic upside – mid and upper 20 percent returns or higher. For those transactions, investors have not put the risk on trade in terms of having confidence in the economy to carry those investments with any sort of underwrite-able certainty. That said, and despite the ebbs and flows of the marketplace, the recent performance of the economy has indeed provided some hope and a sense of positive expectation. There has been moderate job hiring and employment gains,

The views expressed by contributing columnists are not necessarily representative of the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal

although that has not necessarily shown up in all of the statistics just yet. But we are seeing a clear increase in activity, particularly among the small to mid-sized companies. One indication comes from the Bankers Association, which reports that those small to mid-sized companies are now beginning to access capital and that lenders are beginning to let capital flow to those non publicly traded enterprises. That is indeed a change, because while many of those companies have continued to have very good balance sheets, it has been the large, multinational public companies that for the past years have had sole, exclusive access to the capital markets. One example of the increase in activity among banks that lend to those kind of groups is Sun Bank, based in Vineland, N.J. Sun, which has its Northern New Jersey business office in our company’s office park, has been there for just three years and already has doubled their occupancy on the expectation that their middle market lending business is increasing dramatically. In terms of other current investment market trends, foreign investor money has been extremely active – but only in the gateway cities. As far as the region’s suburban markets, there is some interest in creditbased, long-term leasebacks – they’ll play in that arena. But in general, the suburban markets are not attracting foreign capital. Over and above the foreign money, the majority of capital currently in the market appears to be the commingled funds and institutional pension fund advisors. They are

generally, of course, the same buyers that have always been here and after experiencing a long hiatus are coming back to market. More funds have been raised, they’ve been sitting on cash, the mandates are starting to come in, and they are becoming more active. We are, in fact, receiving calls from them and seeing more interest and competition when a quality transaction becomes available. We are also seeing some construction money returning to the market, especially for multi-family product. As has been reported, there has been a significant increase in multifamily construction projects, driven in part by the REITs, as well as by private institutional capital. The industry just can’t seem to build enough apartments to meet the current demand in a housing market that has seen a surging in rentals at the expense of home buying. But overall, returning to the earlier analogy, there is still too little available product for investment money to be chasing at the ends of the “barbell.” That overall trend, by the way, is impacting pricing positively. When a very attractive, highquality, stabilized transaction does become available in this market, it will indeed be sold at aggressive pricing. For the rest of the year and into 2013, the investment sales market forecast remains mixed. Trends in the overall economy will set the tone, and if pricing does remain aggressive, more opportunities will arise for the flow of money that has been sitting on the sidelines post-recession. Eugene Diaz is principal partner of Prism Capital Partners, LLC in Bloomfield, NJ. n

Cushman & Wakefi eld arranges $ 1 million sale

B

ENSALEM, PA — Cushman & Wakefield has orchestrated the $71 million sale of Village Square Apartments, a 694-unit complex in Bensalem. Karen Iman, Brian Whitmer, Andrew Merin, Marybeth Farris and Nick Karali of the firm’s Capital Markets Group (CMG) represented the agent for the seller, Korman Residential, and procured the buyer, Paradise Property, LLC. Village Square Apartments consists of 436 one-bedroom and 258 two-bedroom units in 56 two-story, brick-clad buildings. “The market for well-located, high-quality multi-family assets in metro Philadelphia has been robust with activity, and we have seen growing demand

only in metro Philadelphia, but also the larger Washington, D.C. to New York corridor,” Merin said. “But metro Philadelphia in particular has emerged as a market for multi-family investors. In the early 2000’s, only a handful of communities were being sold in this market per year. Since 2010, with an influx of new buyers and capital targeting Philadelphia assets, we’re seeing a more heated and liquid investment sales market with a dozen or more communities being sold per year.” “With that influx, pricing has become increasingly aggressive, and class B communities with a vintage similar to Village Square have been trading near a six percent yield,” he said. n

Village Square Apartments both from local owners and developers, as well as investors from outside of the region”, said Iman. “The fact that this offering attracted more than 120 expressions of interest is a clear sign of the demand that’s out there for apartment assets, not

Marx along with senior managing director Joe Messina and assistant director Chris Koeck, represented McManimon, Scotland & Baumann in the transaction. The landlord, Mack-Cali, was represented in-house by Rich Travaglini and Diane Chayes. n

After months of negotiations Cox secured a lease with Trade It! As part of the deal the center will also receive a facelift with a brand new facade. This new lease along with the sale of the land across the street from this center for a new AT&T Wireless store marks two recent transactions Cox completed to help bring a rejuvenated look to this section of Rte. 13 North.

Former Feldman’s Building In a separate transaction Bradley Gillis, CCIM and Joey Gilkerson from Sperry Van Ness - Miller represented the buyer of the former Feldman’s Building, and Blair Rinnier, CCIM of Rinnier Development represented the seller. The buyer will create a high quality mixed use project with open sight lines to the riverfront, on-site parking and will focus on the historically significant 3-story building. The current building consists of four different structures totaling over 40,000 s/f on 20,000 s/f of land; the most important of which is the main 3-story building which dates back to the late 1800’s, first used by B.L.

“Vacation homes in shore communities are taking two years to sell in some cases and the Archdiocese wants to sell this property now as opposed to potentially waiting,� said Max Spann, the president and CEO of the firm. “With unique properties like this, it is often difficult to determine a market value. Our auction will bring together motivated potential buyers who will have an opportunity to bid against each other in the open to determine a fair market price.� The property could possibly be re-zoned up to six lots and be re-developed by an investor. The half-acre Villa St. Joseph property spans a full beach block with 175 feet of beach frontage. The property features private gardens with a fountain surrounded by brick walls and iron gates. Built in 1905, the mansion has 11 bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom, and numerous covered porches and decks with panoramic views of the ocean, beach and boardwalk. The home also features expansive formal and casual dining rooms with service stations, a commercial kitchen, a grand foyer with parlor, sitting areas, custom millwork, an elevator, and a stunning staircase. A full basement features service and laundry areas, storage, a full bath and an office. The home also has a two-car detached garage and off-street parking. “The estate is stunning,� Spann said. “We are confident we can find a new owner that will appreciate it.� n

Company News To accommodate additional employees

Summit Consulting moves to a larger office in D.C.

W

ashington, DC — Summit Consulting, a leading provider of sophisticated data analysis to federal government agencies as well as private-sector clients, announces to- Anthony Curcio day that it has opened a 4,160-square-foot office at 718 7th St. NW. In the midst of a significant staff expansion, Summit Consulting relocated to a bigger home in Washington, D.C., to provide it with ample room to continue hiring new professionals. The firm also has the option to occupy an additional 1,600 square feet at 718 7th St. NW.

The new space represents a square-footage increase of approximately 43 percent from the company’s previous office at 626 E St. NW. Anthony Curcio, the chief operating officer at Summit Consulting and leader of its Modeling and Forecasting Practice, says that the firm looked at alternatives throughout Washington but wanted to remain in the city. The larger space – which features a highly collaborative, open architecture environment – may accommodate up to 50 professionals, and even more than that if the firm exercises its option to further expand, Curcio said. Ultimately, company executives decided on 718 7th St. NW because of the building’s easy access to Metro for the firm’s work force, its historic quality,

and its proximity to clients. Currently, Summit Consulting has 44 employees. It hired 14 people last year and eight so far this year, and the firm plans to bring on board another five to seven workers by the end of 2012, Curcio says, noting that the company’s new staff members have both graduate and undergraduate degrees in various quantitative fields. “Our clients are demanding more of what we are already providing them, and, as they learn of other targeted capabilities that we have, they expand their scope of work into these additional areas,” he says. “We are focused on providing the best in client service and hiring the best people to deliver it. If we do that, responsible growth will take care of itself.” n

Reznick Group Charity Golf Tournament raises $14,000 Baltimore, MD — The Baltimore office of the Reznick Group raised $14,000 during its 11th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Rocky Point Golf Course in Towson. More than 120 friends and employees participated in the event which raised money for The Anderson Children Education Fund - a private educational fund established on behalf of former Reznick Group employee Gary Anderson’s children. Anderson’s son David is pursuing an accounting career at Towson University and his daughter Lauren is in the process of looking at colleges in anticipation of pursuing a

career in medicine. Anderson, who was employed in Reznick Group’s Baltimore office, passed away in July 2011 after a courageous battle with esophageal cancer. He was a beloved former employee and also an avid golf player. Anderson spent 13 years of his professional career with Reznick Group. The $14,000 was the largest amount raised in the 11 year history of this annual charity golf tournament. In addition to serving a worthy cause, tournament participants enjoyed a day of golf, contests, raffle prizes, a catered dinner, and awards ceremony.

“It was heart-warming to see our employees and friends come together to support Gary’s children, who both plan on pursuing college degrees,” said Bill Riley, a principal in Reznick Group’s Baltimore office. “We could not have asked for a better day of golf and fun to honor the memory of our friend and former colleague.” Reznick Group’s annual golf tournament began more than 10 years ago to provide financial support for the son of a Reznick Group employee who had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease. Each year, the firm chooses a different charity to support. n

Painting classrooms and hallways

Elfant Wissahickon Realtors donate a day

The volunteers of Elfant Wissahickon Realtors and Martin Elfant Inc. at the Stanton school. Philadelphia, PA — On August 7th, the agents and staff of Elfant Wissahickon Realtors and Martin Elfant, Inc. Real Estate joined school and community stakeholders at the EM Stanton School at 16th and Christian Streets for a Day of Service. The volunteers spent the day painting classrooms and hallways in vibrant colors. Both companies have become sponsors of the Supporters of Stanton, and felt it important to combine financial contributions with volunteer work. “Volunteer effort is one of the best ways to get instant gratification with virtually no strings attached. The folks from Elfant Wissahickon and Martin Elfant were thrilled to be given the opportunity to participate in a beautifully organized initiative and we all had a ton of fun,”

said Bob Elfant, a co-owner of both companies. Elfant Wissahickon has a tradition of service to local schools and their students. Earlier this year, the agents participated in a day of service at JS Jenks School in Chestnut Hill, cleaning out closets and reading to children. This past Saturday, along with the Neil Kugelman Team, Elfant Wissahickon supported the Back to School event held each year by the Concord School House Historic Site, providing backpacks filled with school supplies to children of low-income families in the NW neighborhood. All of these contributions are part of Elfant Wissahickon’s “Building Community” initiative, encompassing a commitment of $20,000 and 2000 hours of community service throughout the Philadelphia area. n

Maxwell Systems 2012 named to the Constructech 50

Mechanical Contractors Association & Local 638 help to raise $2.5 million

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — Maxwell Systems, Inc. announced that it has again been named to the Constructech 50, a listing of the most influential construction technology providers with a strong and ongoing market presence. Maxwell Systems was honored by the editors of Constructech who reported: “Many solution providers claim to have the fully integrated software offering figured out, but Maxwell Systems is one of the few that clearly delivers. The company demonstrates it is not afraid to dig deep in order to provide the right set of technology that fit its customers’ needs, both now and for the long run.” “As we con-

Long Island, NY — Sophia’s Cure Foundation, a charity dedicated to finding a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) raised nearly $100,000 at a Long Island City fundraiser in late August. The event was the latest by the group to find a cure for a terminal disease. Sophia Gaynor was diagnosed in 2009 with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, a disease that ravages the body leading to acute paralysis and the need for respiratory support and a feeding tube. Her parents, Vincent and Catherine Gaynor, launched Sophia’s Cure Foundation to raise money to find a cure for the disease. The 100% volun-

tinue to address the evolving technology needs of construction companies, we enhance and innovate our software for construction management, as well as support and services, to help businesses be more productive and profitable,” said Jim Flynn, president and CEO of Maxwell Systems. “We are honored that Constructech has recognized our development efforts, our resource investments, our customer engagement practices, and technology leadership in the industry.” Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Constructech magazine, said: “The evolution of technology solutions can shake up the marketplace. It may give newer companies a

chance to establish themselves in the arena, and it can also let longtime players prove they are committed to the industry. This year’s winning companies are giving builders and contractors solid solutions on which to build, and continue to transform.” Companies nominated for the Constructech 50 are judged on a variety of criteria, including having a strong product/service aimed at the construction industry, ongoing customer satisfaction and growth, as well as outreach and educational efforts for the construction industry, among others, and the listing is determined by the editors of Constructech magazine. n

teer organization has raised nearly $2.5 million for SMA research in just three years. There is no treatment or cure for SMA yet, but groundbreaking research, partially funded by Sophia’s Cure, is working on a potential cure so that future generations may not suffer from this heinous disease. “We are humbled by the support of the Mechanical Contractors Association, Steamfitters and other unions in the fight against SMA,” said Vincent Gaynor, a union steamfitter with Local 638. “More than 125 people attended the fundraiser and we are now planning to make it an annual event.” n

Gentile and Fasano of the Philadelphia office close $2.45m sale in South Harrison

Marcus & Millichap sells two self-storage facility building’s totaling 118,750 s/f in New Jersey

T

SOUTH HARRISON, NJ — Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services has announced the sale of South Harrison Self Storage, a 66,750 s/f self-storage facility property located in South Harrison, according to Spencer Yablon, VP/regional manager of the firm’s Philadelphia office. The asset commanded a sales price of $2.45 million. Bob Gentile, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia office, had the listing to market the property on behalf of the seller. The buyer was also secured by Gentile. Michael Fasano, Broker, assisted in closing this transaction. South Harrison Self Storage is located at 500 Tomlin Station Road. “The facility was built in two phases and occupancy is steadily increasing,” noted Gentile. “We’re starting to see an uptick in transactional velocity in the self-storage space

South Harrison Self Storage as fundamentals improve and the economy stabilizes. There are more buyers today than there were a year ago,” he added. The facility installed solar energy panels on the roof to reduce energy expenses and produce additional income. South Harrison Self Storage offers all amenities including climate control units. Marcus & Millichap New Jersey office announced the sale of Moore Self Storage, a 52,000 s/f self-storage facility property located in Neptune, NJ. Converted from a clothing

manufacturing building into a self-storage center in 1997, the property offers 499 climate controlled units and 105 non climate controlled units. At the time of sale the property was about 85% occupied. Richard Schontz, Dan Burkons, Mike Mele, and Christopher Munley with the assistance of Fasano, had the listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company and secured the buyer, an out-of-state investor. The buyer was selected

Moore Self Storage after a national marketing campaign. There were several qualified offers including local, regional, and national self-storage operators. “Currently, the market is experiencing a high demand for quality self-storage properties. When a quality property hits the market we are receiving a large number of offers with aggressive terms. This buyer was ultimately selected because they were a very reputable company and they were willing to assume an existing loan which saved the seller several thousand dollars in

penalties.” said Rick Schontz a member of the listing team. Dan Burkons, another one of the listing agents, said, “Self storage assets are finding Buyers willing to pay strong prices because of good market fundamentals, and also because of low interest rates. In this case a new loan was not part of the equation (due to the assumption of the existing mortgage) but the buyer was able to get the property at a discount by enabling the seller to avoid payment of a stiff prepayment penalty.” n

Kislak completes $11.75m New Jersey multifamily sales WOODBRIDGE, NJ — The Kislak Company, Inc. recently completed five sales transactions throughout New Jersey totaling $11.75 million. In separate transactions, a 90unit property i n A s b u r y Joni Sweetwood Park sold for $4.5 million; a 45unit property in East Orange sold for $2.9 million; a 47-unit property in East Orange for $1.6 million; two properties with a total of 39 units in Plainfield sold for $2.1 millon and two properties with a total of 16 units in Jersey City sold for $650,000. The Asbury Park sale was of Frederick Douglas Apartments, a 90-unit garden apartment complex located two blocks from the city’s train station and only a few blocks from the beach and the city’s vibrant downtown commercial

district. Constructed in 1971, the property consists of seven two-story brick apartment buildings with a combination of one- and two-bedroom units. Senior vice president Joni Sweetwood represented both parties in the transaction pursuant to an exclusive listing agreement. “Asbury Park is becoming increasingly popular for residents and investors alike as the revitalization of the city proceeds,” said Sweetwood. “The area has become trendier with restaurants, shops and nightlife. People want to live there. Occupancy at the property is nearly 100% and rent concessions, which had been offered in the past, are no longer needed to attract tenants.” The purchaser assumed the seller’s existing financing. The mortgage assumption was facilitated by Arbor Commercial Mortgage. The seller was represented in-house and the purchaser was represented by Richard Kelin, Esq. of Feinstein, Raiss,

Kelin & Booker, LLC. The sale marked the second transaction that Kislak that handled on behalf of each of the seller and purchaser. The first East Orange sale was of a 45-unit four-story masonry building with elevator service. Sweetwood also represented both parties in the transaction pursuant to an exclusive listing agreement. Constructed in 1940, the property had been owned by the same owner since 1979. “The building has an attractive lobby, very large one-, two- and three-bedroom units and garage parking and is situated on one of the best and most desirable Sts. in the city,” added Sweetwood. “The property is within close proximity to the major commercial centers of Newark, NJ and New York City and is within walking distance of city parks and city recreation.” “East Orange is in the heart of Essex County, a major submarket within the tri-state

region,” added Holland. “Demand for housing is strong given the area’s population density, proximity to New York City and many other employer centers, and abundant mass transit. Occupancies are at or near 100% in many communities, although there are pockets of distressed properties in some of the more urban areas.” The purchaser obtained a new first mortgage at an attractive rate. The seller was represented by Jonathan Mehl, Esq. and the purchaser was represented by Melanie Scroble, Esq. of Ansell, Grimm & Aaron, PC. The second East Orange sale was of a 47-unit four-story brick building. The transaction was a distressed sale wherein Sweetwood facilitated the allcash sale of the mortgage on the property and the transfer of the deed, both to the purchaser. The Plainfield sales were of two neighboring properties on

Eighth and Ninth Sts. with a total of 39 units. Vice president Alan Sommer Storozum represented the seller and Sweetwood represented the purchaser. “In Plainfield, there have been sales of both market rate properties and distressed properties as there had been several distressed or bank-owned properties in the area,” added Sweetwood. The owner initially purchased these properties from a lender at a discount. We then marketed the properties on an exclusive basis and sold them at a market rate price.” The Jersey City sales were of two neighboring properties on Arlington St. with a total of 16 units. The seller had previously purchased a distressed mortgage on the property and foreclosed. Sales associate Scott Davidovic represented the seller and Sweetwood represented the purchaser. The seller provided the purchaser with a purchase money mortgage. n

Gebroe-Hammer averages two investment sales per week

L

IVINGSTON, NJ — As multi-family vacancies and interest rates continue to record historic lows, property owners have the motivation to sell and buyers have the means to enhance their portfolios, according to GebroeHammer Associates. Year-todate, the Livingston based investment brokerage firm has been consistently closing an average of two transactions per week, the latest of which involve four separate deals closed within a two-week timeframe. The transactions totaled 112 units throughout Essex, Union and Passaic counties and netted a combined $7.25 million. In the largest sale, sales associate Nicholas Nicolaou exclusively represented the owner and identified the buyer in the $3.05 million trade of 97-99 Pine St. located in Montclair. The 28-unit two-building complex is comprised of a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts. “True to its roots as a ‘railroad suburb,’ which dates back to the 1870s when settlers sought easy access to New York City, Montclair remains a popular commuter hub today where multi-family occupancies are in the high 90th percentile, rents are competitive and investors

Protected by US Patents 7118633, 7121288, 7124767.

97-99 Pine St. located in Montclair, NJ are vying for off-market acquisitions,” said Nicolaou. Urban markets also continue to attract multi-family investors, many of whom are targeting Northern New Jersey cities where apartment buildings are playing an important role in renewal initiatives. Recent transaction highlights include the $1.8 million trade of 23 units, including three commercial units, at 150-152 Elmora Ave., in Elizabeth and a shortsale of 27 units for $600,000 at 42-52 Essex St., in Paterson, arranged by sales associates Stephen Tragash and Debbie Pomerantz, respectively. Executive vice president David

Oropeza also facilitated the $1.8 million sale of a 39-unit building in a quiet East Orange residential neighborhood, near shopping and transportation. “North Jersey’s cities have a high density of post-war era apartment buildings, which are fully occupied and in-demand among each city’s workingclass tenant base, as well as investors who recognize the long-term potential of these performing properties,” said Tragash, who specializes in the Elizabeth market. “Multifamily properties are a healthy investment choice right now and investors are just eating them up.” n

DISON, NJ — David B. Crabiel Hall, a 36,000 s/f academic building designed by DMR Architects, a full-service architectural firm, achieved Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Design (LEED) Silver Certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The building, on the main campus of Middlesex County College in Edison is the College’s first sustainable building, and DMR Architects’ fourth building to receive LEED Certification. On July 17, Crabiel Hall received LEED Silver Certification, scoring 34 points from the USGBC. LEED certification is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. Dedicated to progressive, innovative and sustainable, high-quality design, DMR provided complete architectural,

engineering and construction administration services for the two-story, 36,383 s/f academic space. The building includes classrooms, computer labs, administrative offices, a culinary demonstration lab, kitchen facilities and meeting

David B. Crabiel Hall rooms. Sustainable features include occupancy sensors in each room, day lighting, drought resistant plantings, high tech air conditioning units and boiler and a highly reflective elastomeric

roof coating. In addition, Low-VOC materials were specified and water use reduced 55% from a standard design through low-flow fixtures, waterless urinals and sink faucets. Energy use reduced 24% through

efficient, correctly-sized mechanical equipment. 92% of all construction waste was recycled and 19.8% of materials were manufactured locally to reduce emissions during transport. “We are particularly proud of the college’s decision to seek LEED certification for this project,” Obi Agudosi, AIA, senior vice president and principal of DMR Architects said. “At Middlesex County College, we designed an incredibly modern building that just happens to be located on a traditional college campus. The materials selected were environmentally responsible, durable and also complimentary to the existing buildings on campus. This was a very exciting project for DMR.” The $10 million project has been recognized with several other design awards, including a 2012 Project of Distinction by College Planning & Management. n

Code Environmental Svcs. completes Solis Partners’ 220kilowatt rooftop solar photovoltaic system installation Carteret, NJ — Code Environmental Services, a leading environmental and hazardous waste remediation firm announced that it has completed the installation of a 220-kilowatt rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Designed, engineered and constructed by Solis Partners, the system will offset approximately 70 percent of Code Environmental’s electricity consumption, is installed on the roof of its 50,000 s/f corporate headquarters building. “We’re pleased to announce the completion of the solar installation at Code Environmental,” said Jamie Hahn, cofounder and managing director at Solis Partners. “This rooftop solar PV Sys-

Improving energy efficiency in data centers

T

he data center market has been considered, in many areas, to be a bright spot in the commercial real estate industry as more and more properties are being converted to accommodate data centers. While this trend is filling the need for more missioncritical facilities, it also poses a challenge from a sustainability perspective because these facilities consume a large amount of energy. According to the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2006, U.S. data centers used approximately 61 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for about 1.5 percent of all U.S. electricity consumption. More recently, a 2009 paper from the DOE stated that the annual source energy use of a two-megawatt data center is equal to the amount of energy consumed by 4,600 typical U.S. cars in one year. As the number of data centers increases, so will the demand for energy. The DOE has been working in cooperation with other agencies and the private sector to set energy efficiency measurements, metrics and reporting conventions for data centers to find potential solutions that will still meet this growing

demand. According to the DOE, improving energy efficiency in data centers can have many benefits including: reducing business risk, lowering utility bills, reducing carbon emissions, and helping steer a company on a road of social responsibility. So what are some ways that developers and property owners can “green” their data centers? Look Toward the LED Light At Brookfield’s Convergence, in Whippany, NJ, one of green features includes LED lighting and lighting control systems. According to the DOE, the adoption of LED lighting in the U.S. over the next 20 years would reduce electricity consumption by 25 percent, save an accumulated $120 billion in energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 246 metric tons of carbon. And while tenants are already seeing results in cost savings with LED lighting, Convergence has also been able to reduce maintenance costs associated with replacing old halogen light bulbs throughout the campus.

Greening your HVAC System The cost to both heat and cool an entire office campus can be astronomical and will certainly have an impact on the bottom line for your tenants, especially if you’re using an antiquated HVAC system. Instead, consider using water source heat pumps like the system installed at Convergence. Water heat pumps have four times the heating and cooling carrying capacity than other systems more typically found in other office buildings. While the cost to install may be a bit more, water source heat pumps have already proven lower operating costs for Convergence. Another issue that a quality green HVAC system can address is indoor air quality for tenants. The more fresh air in a building, the better. Consider installing independent ventilation units within each building. This will also provide free seasonal cooling. At Convergence, the use of unitary water source heat pumps promotes multiple zoning, system redundancy, energy efficiency, and individual comfort levels. The campus is continued on page 21A

lash back to the energy crises during the 1970s where energy prices skyrocketed and ration cards and flag systems were implemented to deal with the situation. Energy e f f i c i e n c y Ed Hutchinson programs - born out of this era- helped electric utility customers reduce and manage their costs and provide a lowcost, high-value resource.

ing led to a decline in program funding in the late 1990s. Since then, utility energy efficiency programs have grown rapidly. In 2010, the total budget for electric utility customer energy efficiency programs was $4.6 billion, up from $1.1 billion spent on such programs just a decade earlier. According to Hutchinson, “More and more, utilities, regulators and policymakers recognize that it is cheaper to reduce demand through energy efficiency programs than it is to construct, fuel and operate additional electric

generating plants.” The ACEEE report found that customer energy efficiency programs help reduce energy costs, yield significant environmental benefits and can improve system reliability. The report also states that energy efficiency remains the lowest cost energy resource available to utilities by a wide margin. Saving a kilowatthour of electricity as the result of a customer energy efficiency program is about one-third the cost of generating a kilowatthour from a power plant. Furthermore, the report cites the emergence of energy efficiency as a valuable, cost-effective and significant energy resource that has established the foundation for a new era of energy efficiency. “We educate businesses about rebates, programs and energy efficient services that help reduce energy consumption and improve the bottom line,” said Hutchinson. One popular program, Direct Install from New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, pays up to 70 percent of the cost of energy efficiency upgrades for businesses and local governments. Hutchinson Mechanical Services is a participating Direct Install contractor in Gloucester, Burlington, Camden, Ocean and Monmouth, New Jersey Counties. “Our biggest challenge is getting businesses to believe this program is real, because the benefits are so amazing.” Direct Install is created specifically for small to medium-sized facilities with a monthly peak demand of 150 kW or less. Its streamlined process makes it easy and affordable to replace heating cooling & ventilation (HVAC), lighting and other outdated operational equipment with energy-efficient alternatives. The 70% incentive dramatically improves payback on the project.

Improving energy efficiency in data centers continued from page 19A equipped with a state-of-the-art Building Management System with direct digital controls for further efficiency. Consider Your Natural Environment Because a critical part of most data centers is seclusion and security, many are set back from the road with Mother Nature providing her own sense of security. So it’s important for property owners to preserve the natural habitat that make up a building’s surroundings. Convergence is located on a 67-acre site, which is considered part of a natural wetlands preserve that fosters the growth of sensitive plant and animal life. The storm water management system was designed to control storm water runoff by preventing flooding in the area, as well as, to promote water quality as it is recharged into the natural aquifer. While Convergence has a firm grasp on the future, it has deep historic roots as well. The site has a long history as home to some of the world’s leading corporations and even holds a place in the history books. Developed by International Telephone and Telegraph in the 1950s, the property’s first building housed the switching equipment for the famous “Red Phone,” the hotline that provided secure communication between the White House and the Kremlin during the Cold War. Figuratively speaking, Convergence has gone from red to green and is issuing a new call: the push for energy efficiency. Michelle Berliner is VP and head of asset management for Brookfield Real Estate Opportunity Fund. n

Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the USGBC NJ, I am pleased to welcome visionary environmental business leader and advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as keynote speaker for our 10th Anniversary Gala & Awards Dinner on October 11, 2012 at the new Revel in Atlantic City. We are thrilled to have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speak at this year’s Gala. He is an inspiring voice in the field of environmental advocacy and a perfect fit for our 10th anniversary celebration. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet” for his success in helping Riverkeeper, New York’s clean water advocate, lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group’s achievement helped spawn more than 160 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe. In 2009, he was named one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Agents of Change.” As a keynote speaker, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivers a passionate defense of the environment and of how its continued neglect affects the future of the planet and the health of future generations. He FLORENCE BLOCK advocates a direct and aggressive approach against entities whose policies accelerate pollution and maintain the status quo. Kennedy calls upon all people to actively make a difference in their world. The USGBC NJ’s Annual Gala is the event of the year for green building and sustainability professionals in the tri-state area. Last year, keynote speaker Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker wowed the crowd. This year the event is black tie optional, with music and dancing to follow the speakers and presentation of awards. The event’s location proves to be a star in its own right. The entire site is visually striking, and the food is top notch. There is so much to see and do at Revel, that the New York Times cleverly noted, “Oh, and there’s a casino, too.” For 10 years USGBC NJ has served as the meeting ground, catalyst, and propeller for sustainability-minded individuals in building-related professions. Through the NJ Chapter, LEED and green building in general, have found fertile ground in New Jersey. USGBC NJ is thrilled to be celebrating our 10th anniversary at Revel with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and we hope you will join us. For more information, feel free to visit www.usgbcnj.org/events. Sincerely, Florence Block Executive Director USGBC NJ

Obviously, choosing a strategic position is important to most retailers but with above normal vacancy rates and multiple holes in the market left behind by failed concepts it might not always make sense to pay a premium for the best or perceived best location in any given market area. For example’s sake let’s take a closer look at a few of the most common open air retail space options and typical small store rental rates associated with them. Please note to keep size of article down we will not discuss enclosed malls, regional centers or outlet centers. Also, please note the figures below are averages and in no way set in stone. As we all know everything is negotiable. Power Centers- Always anchored by multiple “Big Box” retailers, national, regional and local restaurants, very high traffic, few smaller tenant spaces… usually command higher rents. $30-$40 SF/NNN Community Centers- Anchored by discount department stores, home improvement, supermarket, drug store, large specialty or discount apparel anchors. There are usually multiple small store leasing opportunities available but it’s

fairly easy to “get lost” in these centers. $16-$25 SF/NNN Lifestyle Centers- Typically constructed in high income areas….Upscale specialty shops, Regional and National restaurant chains, cinema, specialty grocer, national book chain. Base rents and high NNN expenses usually keep out most smaller local tenants. $25-$40 SF/NNN Neighborhood CentersUsually a grocery store anchored center….high traffic, multiple small store tenants, fitness centers…moderate rents. $16-$20 SF/NNN Strip Centers- Multiple small stores, usually very convenient ingress and egress, high visibility and usually palatable rents. $14-$20 SF/NNN When choosing a location ask yourself does your store or clients store really need to be in the new construction “Big Box” Power Center where the rent factor might be counter productive to profitability? Of course this type of Center typically provides high traffic but are the RIGHT customers walking through your doors? The point is do not confuse high traffic count and high customer count. Are you strategically positioning yourself within maximum exposure to your targeted demographic? The counter point to this thought process is that if you locate your store in the middle of nowhere or a location that is not overly convenient there will be additional marketing expenses to drive customers to you. Another important factor to consider is co-tenancy, for example you probably would not want to place a high end clothing store next to a dollar store concept. Also be sure to take parking convenience into ac-

count. If you are not easy to get to and convenient to access most customers will probably opt for a more convenient choice. In summary, do your research and hire a qualified commercial broker to assist you. They will know the historical tendencies of a particular retail environment. The goal is to obtain the best mixture of visibility, demographics, convenience, parking, cotenancies and rent. After all it’s your bottom line on the line.

The combination of all of the above has created a perfect storm in the single tenant net lease sector.

banks are seeing their branches on new 20 year NNN ground leases with rent increases every five years being sold at cap rates as low as 5.5%. McDonalds are being sold for cap rates between 4.5% and 5.0%, and other fast food concepts with corporate signed leases are selling for almost as low a cap rate. An important new development in the single tenant net lease sector is the change in business model by two of the leading convenience store chains, Sheetz of Altoona, PA., and WAWA of Wawa, PA (suburban Philadelphia). Until recently, each of these two privately held but well regarded chains owned their real estate and funded new store development out of operating revenues. Now, each has embarked on a development program partnering with developers who find, acquire, and entitle a parcel of land, which Sheetz or WAWA then ground lease from the developer. Sheetz has a 15 year lease while WAWA has a 20 year lease. Many of the developers are selling these at very low cap rates. My team here at the Marcus & Millichap Office in Philadelphia has put several of these properties (with new leases, not older ones) under letter of intent or contract at cap rates from 5.65% to 6.25%. Many investors are migrating to these types of assets from drug stores because the leases have periodic rent increases, and the business model of the convenience store (with gas pumps) is perceived as recession proof and immune from online retailing. Of course, the opposite of that trend is the difficulty of selling single tenant net leases assets where the tenant’s business model is subject to changes in consumer habits. Best Buy today is still an investment grade ranked company. But the investment community has very swiftly concluded that despite that, Best Buy is a large risk and no credence is given to that rating. Best Buy stores are now viewed as “real estate� deals and priced on the real estate fundamentals specific to a store and the market it is in. There is still a real lack of supply of big box retail stores for sale (WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot, Kohl’s, Target, and clubs like Costco, BJ’s Wholesale Club and Sam’s Club). There are very few data points on which to rely in establishing value other than comparing them to their smaller investment grade drug store cousins.

top. Take a step back. Observe what you see going on in the markets, and then look to analyze and explain it. In my writings, I keep coming back to a central theme: know your markets and the forces John Birkeland that drive them. In looking at the secret of successful retailers, we return to this premise once again. The secret to a successful retail location is a combina-

tion of location, visibility and accessibility. The amount of information available for site analysis is amazing. From detailed maps with multiple layers, to tapestry demographic reports, to daily traffic counts, today’s retailer can thoroughly research potential sites. However, the secret to a successful retail business is knowing the customer’s decision making process; being relevant to them, and addressing their need / want. This means knowing your markets. A great local example of knowing the market is Sportsman’s Liquidation Outlet. The

business model was to purchase discontinued and overstock items from the larger sports box stores, with an emphasis on hunting and fishing, and offer them at deep discounts. The owner was astute in site selection, choosing good locations but sacrificing certain attributes to keep his rent down, and therefore his overhead, and therefore his prices. What really made this concept work was how well it fit the market. The discounted pricing appealed to the area both in price point (median household income right around the national level of $54,442) and culture (some school districts in the area recognize deer hunting season as an excused absence). As the late Harry Kalas would say, “That ball’s out of here.” There is more to it. Things change. Better put; external factors continually modify retail customers’ behavior. Factors such as economy, dietary trends, environment, fashion, combine to influence how people will spend their money locally and nationally. Retailers that can forecast these external trends, and get in front of them are going to have the competitive advantage. Dollar stores and consignment shops thrived during the Great Recession (economic). Fast casual restaurants led restaurant growth (dietary / lifestyle / economic) over the past few years. “Green” focused retailers are consistently gaining market share (environmental / economic). Stop. Take a step back. Observe what you see going on in the market. Retail concepts that analyze it, explain it, and then tailor their products and services to coincide with it hold the secret to success. What do you see?

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

ith the recent tight economy everyone is looking to save money on every aspect of a budding development project, as they should. One of the first items facing a new project is the Ward McMasters subsurface conditions and their economic impact on the project. Often this site investigation occurs either before or early in the project financing and hence the pressures to spend

less are enticing. The trap however is the cost of under investigating any site and the potential financial landmines that can surface such as urban fills, weak organic soils, clays, high groundwater, rock, etc. Not to worry, a responsibly prepared scope of work for a geotechnical investigation should reveal insight into most of these conditions. The trouble occurs when the aforementioned economic pressures create a situation in which the firm with the smallest scope and subsequent lowest price is awarded the investigation (and often the quality control

inspections which is why they were motivated to undercut the scope in the beginning.) The cost implications of under investigating a project can be tremendous. I have reviewed many reports that should have been labeled as “preliminary” but were portrayed as the complete investigation. Insufficient coverage due to a reduced scope of work has left critically important factors to be determined at a later time. I would contend that these unknowns leave the development in a state of financial uncertainty. Not defining something as simple as a rock cut can adversely affect the financial success of any project. In order to understand and fully plan for these critical conditions hinges on a “responsible” scope of work. I have seen countless projects impacted adversely by unknown conditions that would have been recognized through even a basic scope of investigative work. Is this the fault of the developer seeking a “cheaper” investigation or the engineer for offering this less than desirable scope just to win the work. This is entirely up for debate. What is not up for debate is the impact that subsurface conditions can have on a project and the clear need to define these issues at the onset of any project. In general, it is important to include test borings to determine the strength of the underlying soils. This is the first step. Test pits are great and they allow for a visual picture of the upper soils, but they don’t give you data (other than a visual evaluation) of the soil strength. Therefore, be cautious of the quickie test pit investigation in lieu of a well planned scope of work. The real point of this discussion is that geotechnical engineers across our industry are a resource that should be consulted with regarding a scope of work for any investigation that fits a development plan. Find someone that you trust to develop a scope work for your project that protects you from being blindsided by unknown conditions. The financial savings of a cheap investigation are far outweighed by the potential losses caused by unforeseen conditions.

Building mgmt. & security should be flexible, scalable & secure

E

ver since the release of the iPhone, people have become more comfortable with the convenience of managing their email, c a l e n d a r, contacts, finances and more through their smart- Jonathan Epstein phone. As our comfort levels with our devices have increased, so have the volume of apps designed to simplify, orTom Skeans ganize and optimize our digital lifestyle. We now have the technology to have complete facility control and automation through a smartphone, tablet or web browser. A good solution will give owners (and their tenants) peace of mind, while saving both time and money. The offerings may be a little confusing, so it is important to look for a secure, flexible, scalable solution that can be tailored to a building owner or manager’s specific needs. Providing and integrating an automation and security solution should be done by a professional, and some important things to consider are the following: • Access Control (lock and unlock doors remotely): Imagine the time saved when an owner does not have to be physically on-site for routine maintenance, inspections or showings. With an automation solution in place, doors can be unlocked at a scheduled time, or at a moment’s notice. Owners can input and restrict user codes and track user access throughout their property and also be notified by text or email when access codes are entered or doors are opened. • Security (video surveillance, alerts and notifications): There is a wide offering of video technology, and it’s important to consider camera resolution, location and archive capacity. From the convenience of their smartphones, owners can view live or archived video feeds from their property. Video feeds are also useful to owners looking to check status and quality control of projects and vendors (e.g. landscapers, snow removal, parking lot repairs, improvements, etc.) 24 hours a day, without having to

be on-site. In the event of detection, owners can be notified via email or text, accompanied by a few pictures or video footage. • Automation (Lighting, HVAC, etc.): After a power loss, timers for lighting and HVAC controls must be reset, often at the owner’s expense. Depending on the interface, reprogramming can be tedious and complicated. With the proper building automation solution, programs for lighting and HVAC can be programmed, changed or restored remotely in minutes. Plus, the controller can incorporate location-specific scheduling (e.g. turn the outside

lights on 20 minutes before sunset). Building management and security solutions should be flexible, scalable and secure. Many respected vendors like GE, Panasonic, Trane, Honeywell, Yale and Intermatic offer remote management and automation products that integrate with such systems. Solutions can be tailored to each commercial real estate asset type: multifamily, office, retail, industrial, single-tenant or multi-tenant, depending on the owner’s preference and budget.

Putting your properties snow removal on thin ice

urviving in the snow and ice management industry isn’t easy, especially when forced to fend off the low-balling contractors determined to win the job at any cost to remove your snow. Pete Haran A good property manager should be more concerned about people being able to get to the site promptly when needed than they are the low bidder. In addition the ideal Property Managers are more

in-tune with safety and liability concerns for the sites they are responsible for. Those property management shoppers, who want the lowest bid, technically do it at their own risk. To your clients, whether they are tenants, employees, shoppers or residents, snow is a nuisance. They want it gone and they don’t care how you do it; but property

managers and owners usually don’t want to pay much for the service. That’s especially true when they fall into the comfort zone of a low-balling contractor, only to be left stranded if they are a no-show and your site has six inches of unplowed snow on it! The best and some say the only way to overcome this mindset is to educate the property manager about what you do, why you do it, and why you charge what you do. It is essential that property managers understand the importance of hiring a company that specializes in Snow and Ice management, not someone who’s in it to make a little extra cash on the side or to keep employees busy to handle their winter needs. The snow industry is a very difficult business and snow & ice management professionals have invested a lot of time learning how to service their clients and properties with the proper equipment and products. With all the de-icing chemicals on the market, there exists a responsibility to know what is being applied and that the right amount is being applied. Having that expertise is not only good practice for property managers, but it’s good for the environment. SIMA, the Snow & Ice Management Association, the only nationwide trade association dedicated to snow & ice contractors, agrees that education is an integral weapon to help Snow professionals and offers marketing brochures and other resources to help its members educate the customers. The association is also reaching out to property managers and owners to help them better understand the need to hire reputable snow and ice professionals. Those making the decision about which contractor to hire need to understand why they should be looking beyond price alone. They need to ask the right questions, and find out whether the contractor is properly insured, what equipment will be utilized and are they qualified to handle the job. If they don’t, they may find themselves looking for a new contractor in the middle of a storm. Even in today’s economy cheaper is not always better, and when property owners or managers base their decisions to hire a contractor solely on cost, they threat being put on thin ice.

Target Building paves the way for Stanley’s Hardware Expansion

T

here’s nothing like walking into a real hardware store – there’s a sense of order, an awesome display of merchandise, a feeling that you’re going to find what you need…and, yes, even a disWilliam P. tinctive aura Stevenson or aroma that comes from so many products on hand, each with its own purpose. Bolts, nuts and washers, hand tools, light bulbs, plumbing supplies, and just about everything under the sun you need in a pinch. At Stanley’s True Value Hardware, it’s all in one place in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia and where a new day is in the making. When Your Name Is On The Door, Relationships Take On A Heightened Importance. When Stanley Jaconski and his wife opened their store in Manayunk in 1948, the tradition of providing excellent service for customers was established. In 1958, Stanley’s moved to its landmark location at 5555 Ridge Avenue in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia where the Jaconski’s son, also named Stanley, expanded the concept into a hardware store. Thus the name Stanley’s Hardware. The unique characteristic of Stanley’s Hardware is old-fashioned customer service. Once you enter the store, in 7 to 8 seconds an employee will ask, ”May I help you?” I’ve been in the store ten times and it’s happened every time. Today, Stanley’s is owned and operated by the third generation of Jaconskis, brothers Mark and Joe. From Ridge Ave., alwaysbustling Stanley’s Hardware services the Northwest part of Philadelphia including Roxborough, East Falls, Manayunk and Chestnut Hill, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Belmont Hills, Bala Cynwyd and the City Line area. While business is split about 60-40 between homeowners and contractors, Stanley’s customers also include Philadelphia University, Penn Charter School, Roxborough Memorial Hospital, as well as popular NBC, ABC and CBS broadcast stations and FM radio stations 94 Continued on page 26B

he Azarian Group, L.L.C. is pleased to announce that it is about to break ground on the expansion and renovation of the Raritan International Center in Sayreville, New Jersey. The project will include a 10,000 s/f pad site which will house The Learning Experience Day Care Center. This pad site will also have a fenced in outdoor play area of approximately 5,000 s/f. This will be a state of the art day care facility offering customized security features, class room materials, etc. The Learning Experience oper-

ates more than 200 locations nationwide. In addition to the construction of The Learning Experience building, The Azarian Group will also be renovating the existing shopping center’s façade and surrounding site. This will feature new EIFs and four parapet tower elements. Furthermore, the site work entails new sidewalks, parking lot resurfacing and restriping, landscaping and a new pylon sign for tenants of the shopping center, (see rendering). Originally built in the 1970’s, the Raritan International Center is a 75,000 s/f shopping center on over 13 acres with approximately 365 parking spaces. It is conveniently located right off of Exit 124 of the Garden State Parkway on Raritan Street. In addition, the Center lies adjacent to a 300 car commuter parking lot, which takes commuters by bus to New York City. Anchored by Walgreens, Family Dollar and Visionworks, the property has only two vacancies. One vacancy measures 2,500 s/f and is ideal for any retail use including food, office or medical space. There is also a former gym space that measures 13,650 s/f that can be divided. This space can be reconfigured for another fitness use, office space or similar uses. Both spaces are available for immediate occupancy. John M. Azarian, CSM, is the owner of The Azarian Group, L.L.C. and Azarian Realty Co. He is a licensed real estate broker in New Jersey and New York. Kevin R. Pelio is an Assistant Property Manager and is a licensed real estate broker associate with the firms. ■

Congrats on your 15th Anniversary CREATE!

Addressable lighting controls work to improve bottom line for retailers

A

well-lit environment creates a more positive shopping experience for customers at retail locations of all sizes. As such, the retail industry in the U.S. spends nearly $20 billion Terry on energy Mocherniak each year according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with lighting as the largest energy drain. The EPA also estimates that a 10% reduction in energy costs for average retail outlets could increase profit margins by 16% annually. An advanced lighting control system can serve as an indispensable tool in accomplishing these energy savings while improving illumination quality. How an Advanced Lighting Control System Works An advanced lighting control system allows for individual controlling of each lighting fixture or peripheral device in retail spaces from big-box merchandisers to boutiques. All devices are networked and centrally controlled through a central software interface. This allows for addressable dimming or switching of light fixtures independent of electrical circuiting for the purpose of lighting control and energy management. Once addressable dimming controls are implemented throughout the space, a number of advanced lighting energy management strategies - such as daylight harvesting, load shedding, smart time scheduling, task tuning, occupancy sensing and personal control - can help to optimize energy performance. While some of these strategies have been used independently for some time, the ability of advanced systems to seamlessly integrate and deploy them on a property-wide basis is yielding much greater energy savings. One such advanced system is the ENCELIUMTM Energy Management System (EMS) from OSRAM SYLVANIA. The ENCELIUM EMS has been proven to cut lighting energy expenditures by 50 to 75 percent, significantly reduce CO2 emissions, and provide payback on investment faster than other environmental

measures. An ideal solution for both retrofits and new construction, the EMS, formerly known as the Energy Control System, has been installed in more than 45 million square feet of commercial space across North America and Europe. An intelligent lighting control system like EMS can integrate lighting controls with other building automation systems, such as HVAC, fire and security, providing a user the ability to monitor and control a property from one centralized location. And just as important for retailers, advanced lighting controls improve illumination

quality, which is essential for customer satisfaction. Monitoring Energy Use The advanced reporting software of an intelligent lighting control system has made energy consumption simple to monitor for retailers, and, therefore, easier for them to gain control of usage and related costs at properties. It can identify lighting level status meaning ON/OFF, lighting levels, load shedding status, lighting power density or energy consumption, occupancy status, and comparable energy trends.

here we go for our healthcare and how our providers ended up there in the first place are questions whose answers have shifted dramatically in recent years. Past generations found Buck Collins their healthcare in the local hospital or family doctor’s office, which were often very close to the hospital. The hospital was in the older suburban or urban center areas and was an

anchor for the community which grew up around it. Typically, our family doctor was also on staff at the hospital, so they were close by. They are often in inconvenient, congested locations. Today’s hospitals have gone through dramatic changes. The most successful ones have remained where they have been for decades, but have done that by improving access, adding structured parking, improved signage and wayfinding, adding pharmacies, restaurants and other community related amenities. The ones unable to adapt have ceased to exist. Newer hospitals have chosen

locations easily accessible to large populations – typically near highway interchanges and public transportation. While the number of hospitals has shrunk, other sources for healthcare have seen dramatic growth: Urgent Care Centers feature licensed doctors that can treat conditions normally handled by hospital emergency rooms. They’ve seen dramatic growth due to the difficulty in scheduling doctor’s appointments after working hours, a jump in emergency room visits and a decrease in the number of emergency rooms. According the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM): • There are approximately 8,700 walk-in, stand-alone urgent care centers in the United States, and 700-800 new facilities open every year. • Emergency room visits now number approximately 110 million annually. • In a ten-year span, from 1994 to 2004, the number of hospitals and emergency rooms decreased by 9%, while emergency room visits increased by more than one million visits a year. Urgent Care Center sites are selected by following the same formula that major retailers follow: high visibility, high traffic counts and easy access from major roads, close proximity to strong related retail locations like pharmacies, ease of ingress and egress and locations near dense populations. Retail Medical Clinics are commonly located in retail pharmacies like CVS, RiteAid and Walgreens and big box retailers like Walmart. Competition from the supermarkets like Safeway is also seeing rapid growth. They are typically staffed by an advanced-degree nurse such as a nurse practitioner. The clinics treat routine maladies like pink eye, ear infections or strep throat and handle immunizations. Bruce Japsen of the New York times reports: • CVS Caremark, which has 650 MinuteClinics, plans 100 new clinics per year through 2015 • “The number of retail clinics jumped 11.2 percent to 1,355 in 2011,” according to a report by Thomas Charland, chief executive of Merchant Medicine.

“C

anvas the town and brush the backdrop…” very esoteric words from the band that brought you Fun Fun Fun. It’s no wonder CREATE has borrowed America’s Band’s 15 Big Ones as their anniversary slogan. Both founders come across as casual and entertaining but are as unequivocally serious when it comes to the art of what they do. Over the year’s CREATE has been called everything from “The Developer’s Architect” to the “Little Firm that Could” but what they like the best is being their client’s “go to guys.” Repeat business makes up most of their current workload and they can’t think of a client that hasn’t used them repeatedly or remained with them. 15 years goes by fast, yet can feel like 30 when you think of the countless hours Frankie Campione, CREATE’s principal and his team have dedicated to providing top notch Service, Quality and Attention.Frankie noted a few years back in conversation with ‘one of the big boys,’ he was told, “You won’t be concerned about your clients emailing and calling you at all hours a few years from now…” Frankie responded, “When they stop calling is when I will be concerned.” He unobtrusively acknowledges, “That ‘big boy’ by the way has gone from over 150 to about 30 staff members since then. He is as humble today as he was 15 years ago as a small startup firm at the apex of the Chrysler Building in New York City. He never takes credit for the work at hand, noting, “It’s not my moniker on the door it’s a firm name that

simple states what we do. We have energy and a vibe over here that is a collective team effort that makes each project successful and the efforts unique to each.” They are a boutique firm by choice. Refusing to establish a roll out team, they have never grown beyond their means which is probably why they weathered the recession without layoffs or salary cuts. They just held their own. If there is indeed a light at the end of this recession tunnel, they are in front of it. Countess square footage of retail,

malls, power centers, supermarket, turnkey retail and outlets, they have done their fair share. They are the underdog, no more. Frankie acknowledges it’s been a little harder to stay under the radar with international developers recognizing their abilities. They don’t do any real marketing; have no business development director and no PR department. Their work, efforts and results stands as their true source of marketing. “Frankie has established a culture and continually reminds

us just do what we are supposed to do,” notes a team member, “and as principal he sits at a drawing board not a board room.” “He’s amazing at multi-tasking,” noted another member of the team. “Until you get to know him, sometimes you think he’s not paying attention to you, his eyes start to wander or shift up and to the right. Then you realize he’s figuring out what it is we are talking about right there in his head be it a design issue, a construction RFI, a tenant dilemma.

It’s great to watch and even more exciting to participate!” Yet when told of his team’s enthusiasm for his leadership he nonchalantly says, “it’s all four walls and a roof.” Nonetheless, we’ve figured out there is a lot behind that casual stance that has the clients’ coming back for more. Mixed, use, urban planning, hospitality, medical offices, ecclesiastical and residential Frankie notes, “We have been very, very fortunate and blessed to work on a multitude of invigorating projects that reach outside our

so called retail specialty. Working directly with developer’s both public and private has given us the opportunity to expand our project types because it’s simply a matter of trust. Once a client realizes you are going to give their project everything you have and more, it is extremely rewarding when they hand you something else they are working on totally unrelated to the last project you did.” This would explain why a shopping center developer turned over a high rise dorm to CREATE for schematic and design development responsibilities and another did same with a medical office condominium. When we asked him to reflect just a bit on the past 15 years, good or bad Frankie still thinks of themselves as the little guy or the “kid” as one CEO still refers to him and if you know him, he is really a kid at heart. “Every new project or new client meeting your stomach is filled with the same butterflies you had at your elementary school play,” he adds. He maintains an ultra-professional staff that refers to all clients as Mr., Mrs., Sir, etc. It’s not an act, its architecture as it’s supposed to be with a professional Client relationship. He recalls a Senior VP at a major construction company telling him at year 5 that he won’t believe where CREATE will be in 5 more years. The same guy said it again at year 10. This past year when they spoke the VP noted the next 15 years are going to be even greater, as he heard a long pause from Frankie on the other end, he asked, “What’s wrong?” Frankie’s response, “I hope they don’t go by as quickly!” n

The center totals 117,000 s/f and is situated on 13.5 acres directly on Sudley Road at the intersection with Portsmouth Road. Daniel Katz, a principal of Katz Properties said, “We are thrilled to expand our Metro DC portfolio to include these two stable assets.

The redevelopment happening on this side of the Anacostia River is revitalizing the neighborhood, and we are confident that our shopping center will continue to provide quality retail services for the existing and growing community.” Mortgage financing for East River Park was provided by PPM Finance Inc. on behalf of Jackson National Life Insurance Company of Lansing, Michigan, and was arranged by Tim Breda of Goedecke & Co. The purchase of Festival Shopping Center was a cash transaction. The CBRE team of R. William Kent and Gary S. Lawrence represented both Katz Properties and the seller in each transaction. Leasing and property management services will be provided by Winslow Property Management, an affiliate of Katz Properties. ■

Parker, vice president and regional manager of the firm’s White Plains office. The asset sold for a sales price of $3,000,000. Joseph C.

NorthMarq Capital arranges $7.4m Marcus & Millichap mortgage for Loehmanns Plaza announces $3m sale AST BRUNSWICK, NJ — Gary Cohen, senior vice president and senior director, and Greg Nalbandian, senior vice president and managing director, of NorthMarq’s North New Jersey Regional office, arranged first mortgage refinancing of $7.4 million for Loehmanns Plaza, a 212,134 s/f community shopping center located in East Brunswick. Loehmanns is the major tenant at the center. Financing was based on a 5-year term and a 25-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower by NorthMarq through its relationship with a correspondent life insurance company.

Loehmanns Plaza “The property was older with many leases maturing during the loan term. The lender was able to get comfortable based on the low loan to value and strength of the borrowing

entity,” said Cohen. “The borrower wanted to roll over the existing loan balance and the lender was able to provide an attractive quote with an ease of execution.” n

Marcus & Millichap secures a 3,534 s/f sale BERGENFIELD, NJ — Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services announced the sale of 399-403 South Washington Avenue, a 3,534 s/f retail property located in Bergenfield, according to Michael J. Fasano, vice president/regiona lmanager of the firm’s New Jersey office. Julienne Pape, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millic-

399-403 South Washington Ave. hap’s New Jersey office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller,

a long term owner. The property is shadowed by Walgreens, Radio Shack and Foster Village Shopping Center, the building enjoys dual access from Washington Street and Sylvan Avenue with on-site parking. Purchased, the new investor has the potential for subdivision creating local retail storefront. n

The Goldstein Grp. completes medical use transactions PARAMUS, NJ — More medical users are getting closer to their patients by setting-up shop in local retail shopping centers. With retail landlords seeking to lease vacant spaceand doctors wanting to make it eas- Chuck Lanyard ier for patients to reach them, shopping centers, have become an interesting alternative to a traditional medical building. Shopping centers provide both easy access and great exposure. Medical space has also become very expensive causing some practices to move closer to their patients in retail centers. Several examples of medical users leasing space in retail shopping centers in NJ include the following: Valley Health, division of Valley Hospital – Opened an office at Ramapo Plaza, 777 Hamburg Turnpike, in Wayne.

Dr. Dental – A 30 unit chain out of Massachusetts leased a 1,500 s/f store front in the Riverfront Shopping Center at 500 S. River Street, in Hackensack. Sportscare Institute- A chain of 33 locations opened a 3,000 s/f office located at 100 Park Avenue in Hillsdale. Bo Orthodontics- Opened a 2,000 s/f office located in Northvale Square at 271 Livingston Street in Northvale. Major medical institutions have also taken advantage of these retail locations in choosing strategically located sites for new facilities, such as: Plainsboro- A 50,000 s/f fitness and wellness center is being developed through a joint venture between Fitness and Wellness Professional Services (F&WPS) and the University Medical Center of Princeton. This project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. Maywood- A 115,000 s/f fitness and wellness center facility, which is in partnership

between Hackensack University Medical Center & F&WPS, is being designed and constructed on Route 17 in Maywood. Scotch Plains- A 51,570 s/f fitness and wellness center is being designed in Scotch Plains through a joint partnership between Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and F&WPS. New Brunswick- A 65,000 s/f fitness and wellness center is currently under construction in New Brunswick through a joint partnership between Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and F&WPS. “As the market changes, retail landlords are changing to meet the demands of an ever evolving tenant base that now includes medical practices,” noted Lanyard. “I would expect the trend to continue as other medical users take advantage of market conditions to care for an ever expanding patient base as people are living longer and require more healthcare services and facilities.” n

Brixmor Property Grp. announces opening of Sally Beauty Supply MOUNDSVILLE, WV — Brixmor Property Group announced a 1,900 s/f Sally Beauty Supply recently opened at Moundsville Plaza, located

south of I-470 & I-70, on the southeast corner of Lafayette Avenue and 12th Street in Moundsville. Robert Gold of CB Richard Ellis, Inc., Pitts-

burgh, PA, represented Sally Beauty Supply. Brixmor is the owner of Moundsville Plaza and was represented by Jeff Lautenbach with Brixmor. n

the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a financial institution that is liquidating all of its assets. The buyer, a value-added developer, was secured and represented by Joseph French, after generating multiple offers.

Target Building paves the way for Stanley’s Hardware . . . Continued from page 11B WIP and B101. Stanley’s True Value Hardware – Expanding and Evolving For The Next Generation. In 2010, Joe and Mark Jaconski felt the need to transform Stanley’s Hardware to meet the needs and wants of today’s hardware customer. While the Jaconski family had increased its footprint at 5555 Ridge Ave. by acquiring neighboring properties over the years, it was time to expand to a state-of-the-art facility. To meet the needs of their customers, Mark and Joe set their sites on adding party and tool rental services and a small garden supply inventory.

The Jaconski brothers contacted a national consultant to True Value Hardware, Legend Realty Services, to help plan the construction of a new building. The project architect, OKW Architects, designed a site layout with the new building placed on the existing parking lot to permit continuous operation throughout construction. Target Building Construction was awarded the project to build a 13,000 s/f store at the Ridge Avenue location. Working with an April 2013 deadline for project completion, every stage from site preparation and demolition of existing buildings to construction and fit-out requires

execution without compromise. Paramount is maintaining absolute safety, uninterrupted traffic flow and easy access to sustain the business as building progresses to completion. Said Rich Goodman, President, Target Building Construction, “It’s rewarding to build a retail project for a family business like ourselves. Through preconstruction and now during construction, we found common ground with the Jaconski brothers and it’s easy to see why they are successful.” William P. Stevenson, III, is director of business development for Target Building Construction. n

Addressable lighting controls work to improve . . .

Continued from page 13B OSRAM recently introduced its ENCELIUM Polaris 3DTM software, the first-of-its-kind, web-based application featuring an interactive three-dimensional view of a property in realtime. Polaris 3D creates energy savings reports for a floor, zone, or even a fixture based on the desired timeline whether it is a day, week, month or year. These capabilities enable users to quickly identify irregularities and make adjustments as needed. Credit for Going Green An intelligent lighting control system regularly meets or exceeds today’s sustainable requirements, and incentives are often available to property owners to help offset the finan-

cial investment of new energyefficient systems. Incentives range from local utility efforts to state and federal programs. In addition, advanced systems contribute valuable points toward U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Retail certification. It consists of two separate rating systems, which are LEED for Retail: New Construction and LEED for Retail: Commercial Interiors. Both were developed by the USGBC to specifically address the unique nature of a retail facility. By improving the sustainability of their properties and reducing their carbon footprints, retailers are viewed

as leaders in environmental stewardship and as better neighbors, which also serves to positively impact a store’s overall profitability. Getting Started The first step for retailers to gain control of their lighting energy use and expenditures is to have a vendor complete a lighting audit. Through an audit, the vendor can identify the “low-hanging” fruit in terms of efficiency and detail how a pilot program on strategic areas would demonstrate potential energy savings and reinforce the findings of an audit. Terry Mocherniak, director global business development for the LMS business unit of OSRAM SYLVANIA.n

The Gallery at Westbury Plaza GARDEN CITY, NY — Wilbur F. Breslin, president of Breslin Realty Development Corp., announced that his firm negotiated a deal with Trader Joe’s for its newest 13,000 s/f location at The Gallery at Westbury Plaza. Breslin announced that his firm was responsible for Trader Joe’s locations in Plainview; Lake Grove and Commack, and now Garden City. Trader Joe’s is the second

The new shopping center will feature Bloomingdale’s Outlet store; Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th; The Container Store and the Shake Shack. Beth Lamport of the Breslin Organization and Roy Roberts of Milestone Associates were responsible for the long term lease transaction. n

Rosenthal Properties finalizes three leases at Rio Hill SC CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Rosenthal Properties recently finalized leases with three, national tenants at its Rio Hill Shopping Center in Charlottesville, boosting the nearly 290,000 s/f community center to over 90% occupancy. Jo-Ann Fabric, which previously occupied just 12,000 s/f at the property, opened a new, 21,000 s/f store at the center. In addition, Oreck Home Center has opened a 1,600 s/f space, The Great Frame Up has committed to a 1,600 s/f space next to TJ Maxx, and long-time tenant Payless Shoe Source renewed its lease for 2,400 s/f at the center. Both

Oreck and The Great Frame Up are relocating from other retail locations nearby on Route 29. “Rio Hill is one of the largest and busiest retail centers in Charlottesville’s Route 29 corridor,” said Rosenthal Properties’ vice president for Leasing Billy Orlove, “so when the opportunity for Jo-Ann to expand within the center presented itself, it made perfect business sense. Jo-Ann now has a store comparable in size to the company’s new store prototype, with an existing customer base to enjoy the increased space and store offerings.” Jo-Ann opened in its new space in April. n

“Retail” Healthcare

Continued from page 14B and therefore are sited accordingly. Other “Retail” forms of medical care include Wellness Centers and Healthcare Villages. Both reflect a shift in healthcare to an emphasis on wellness, physical fitness and prevention of illness and injury while often including doctor’s offices. Both are found in locations that fit into their users daily routines; easy to get to, convenient parking, located near home and

work and include amenities like restaurants, pharmacies and child care. Buck Collins is the director of Client Services for Bohler Engineering. Bohler ’s 13 East Coast offices have completed numerous healthcare projects including the new Einstein Montgomery Hospital in East Norriton, Pa. and multiple Bravo Health Advanced Care Centers in Philadelphia. n
