JLL Brokers $66M Office Tower Sale on Behalf of KBS in Suburban Denver

by Madison Pettway August 9, 2021

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLO. — Private equity real estate firm KBS has sold Peakview Tower in Greenwood Village, about 12 miles southeast of Denver, for $66 million. The nine-story, 264,149-square-foot office tower is situated in Fiddler’s Green Circle, a suburban micro market that historically has had low office vacancy rates. JLL’s Mark Katz and Peter Merrion represented KBS in the sale. The buyer was a joint partnership led by Vanderbilt Office Properties. Peakview Tower, which KBS acquired in August 2012, features 27,600-square-foot floor plates, 9-foot ceilings, covered and attached parking, and a two-story lobby atrium. KBS recently completed additions to the asset built in 2001, including a fitness center and tenant lounge with barista-staffed coffee service. “In addition to top-tier onsite amenities, Peakview Tower offers access to amenities typically only found in urban locations, such as a food hall, Starbucks, grocery store, movie theater, over 200 hotels rooms, Denver’s light rail system, and a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment options — all within a five-minute walk from the building,” says Tim Helgeson, asset manager for Peakview Tower. “This optimal location gives the property a distinct advantage in the market and made it especially attractive to buyers.”

A City on the Rise: Charlotte Office Market Poised for Growth and Recovery

by John Nelson August 9, 2021

Last year posed many challenges for Charlotte’s office market, as companies continued to delay making decisions about their office space needs. In the fourth quarter, leasing velocity had slowed, with limited deal activity driven largely by lease expirations. But the city still scored several corporate relocations and expansions, faring well compared to other major cities throughout the country. Fast-forward to June 2021, and the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter as more occupants set re-entry plans for this fall. This is a transformative year for Charlotte. Commercial Café ranked the Queen City as No. 5 in the United States for the most anticipated office deliveries in 2021 with more than 4.1 million square feet delivering in the metro area this year. Uptown added to its skyline with the addition of 366,000 square feet at Legacy Union Two, the completion of the 742,000-square-foot Ally Charlotte Center, Honeywell’s 330,000-square-foot corporate headquarters delivering later this fall and the 156,415-square-foot FNB Tower delivering this summer. At the end of the first quarter, new construction in Uptown was more than 82 percent preleased. And as more tenants seek out highly amenitized and efficient space, new construction is expected to be the …
