Rubenstein Partners-Led JV Acquires 1.6 MSF Office Park in Metro Atlanta for $265M

by John Nelson

ALPHARETTA, GA. — Rubenstein Partners LP, along with a minority equity partner, has purchased Sanctuary Park, a 1.6 million-square-foot office park complex located in the northern Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, for $265 million. The joint venture purchased the asset from J.P. Morgan. (NYSE: JPM), according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Sanctuary Park has been institutionally owned, developed and maintained for nearly 20 years. The property comprises nine mid-rise buildings within a 152-acre, master-planned campus, which features three zoned development sites that can accommodate an additional 750,000 square feet of build-to-suit office space. Sanctuary Park is currently 96 percent leased to tenants that include Delta Dental Insurance, Coca-Cola, Ernst & Young, Ciena Corp., LeasePlan and Verizon Wireless. Verizon is expected to vacate its office space at the campus in the near future, which will lower Sanctuary Park’s occupancy to approximately 75 percent. “Sanctuary Park is exactly the kind of unique value-add opportunity Rubenstein Partners seeks out,” said Taylor Smith, regional director of the Southeast for Rubenstein Partners. “The Class A property is generally regarded as the top office park in North Fulton, and we are thrilled to complete the acquisition of this asset. We believe Verizon’s departure created an opportunity for …

The Great ‘Mall Is Dead’ Myth

by Katie Sloan

It actually has become clockwork at every major retail event, be it Back to School, Christmas/Hanukkah, even July 4th. We see the inevitable “Mall is Dead” story in some newspaper or television report. Twenty years ago, catalogs and big box power centers were the killers; today, it’s e-commerce, market saturation and debt-laden millennials who will kill the mall. Only the most famous, highest-end centers in the major markets will survive, according to the doomsayers, with the remainder to be turned into any other use you can think of, from warehouses to office buildings to hotels to, yes, prisons. Except the statistics — and our experience at 30 mid-market malls and lifestyle centers at Starwood Retail Partners — don’t support that argument at all. Industry research shows that mall visitation has bounced back well after the Great Recession, that customers are shopping, eating and enjoying the growing number of experiences our centers can offer, and that our industry is finding new life at all economic tiers. This article will dispel some myths with solid fact. We’re not all just sitting at home ordering from Amazon. Myth: No one shops at malls any more. Fact: If that were so, it would only …

by Haisten Willis

CLEVELAND — Forest City Realty Trust Inc. has sold Terminal Tower, a 597,000-square-foot office building in downtown Cleveland, to an affiliate of K&D Group for $38.5 million.
