Occidental Management Closes on Acquisition of 190-Acre Sprint Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas

by Kristin Harlow

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. — Occidental Management Inc. has closed on its previously announced acquisition of the 20-building, 190-acre Sprint headquarters campus in Overland Park. The purchase price was not disclosed, but the campus is valued at more than $342 million, according to the Johnson County Appraiser. The deal includes a sale-leaseback agreement with Sprint Corp., which will occupy the buildings primarily in the southern portion of the property. The first buildings opened in 1997 when Sprint consolidated operations in the Kansas City metro area. The campus was designed to accommodate 14,500 employees and reached maximum capacity in 2004 when Sprint merged with Nextel. Since then, Sprint has been downsizing. Of the roughly 4 million-square-foot campus, approximately 1.7 million square feet is leased to other tenants and 250,000 square feet is vacant, according to Gary Oborny, CEO and chairman of Occidental. Wichita-based Occidental has yet to release specific plans for the property’s future, but expects to do so by year’s end. The company does intend to re-invigorate the campus and focus on adding amenities that will help employers retain and recruit talent. “The Sprint campus has been one of our ideal acquisition targets in the Kansas City market, and we’re excited …

Skyline, ND Consulting Acquire Multifamily Property in Kansas City, Kansas for $8.9M

by Kristin Harlow

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Skyline LLC and ND Consulting have acquired Silver City Apartments in Kansas City for $8.9 million. Originally built in the 1970s, the 160-unit property underwent a tax credit renovation in the mid-1990s. Dan Piatkowski of Affordable Housing Investment Brokerage Inc. brokered the transaction. Commercial Group, a Topeka, Kan.-based owner and operator, sold the asset. The buyers were interested in the HAP contract in place at the property and plan to expedite renovations needed. A tax credit renovation is the renovation of an existing property in effort to provide quality affordable housing to low-income tenants, according to Piatkowski. In exchange for tax credits and other fees, which lessen a developer’s financial exposure, developers renovate properties that are often project-based Section 8, agreeing to specific rental restrictions for a certain period of time based on tenant’s income. All different types of debt service are used to finance these types of properties, including Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, HUD and other loan programs.
