TRIO OF HUB PROPERTIES FOR $24 MILLION</span><br>
<br>
<span class="text">Boston Business Journal<br>
August 1-7, 2003<br>
<br>
By Bill Archambeault<br>
<br>
A New York City investment fund has purchased the three-building
portfolio of 15 Broad Street, 33 Broad Street and 112 Water Street
for $24 million, representing a strong sales environment for middle-market
properties.<br>
<br>
Boston-based Fairlane Properties Inc. sold the three low-rise downtown
buildings, which total 134,000 square feet to Ceres Realty Fund
LLC, which is managed by BlakelyStern Investment Advisors LLC of
New York City.<br>
<br>
BlakelyStern’s Ceres Fund doesn’t own any other properties
in the Boston area, but plans on investing about $100 million in
retail, warehouse and office properties in the next two years. <br>
<br>
Middle-market properties that fetch between $5 million and $30 million
have been in high demand, said Dick Reynolds, a principal at Boston-based
Spaulding and Slye LLC, which brokered the sale. <br>
<br>
While the sale of trophy assets like the John Hancock Tower command
headlines, the industry’s “bread and butter” properties
are also drawing significant interest, Reynolds said, because interest
rates remain low, capital sources are hungry to invest and there
are few assets available. <br>
<br>
Spaulding and Slye has sold seven middle-market buildings in downtown
Boston this year, and the firm is marketing three more properties
in the 60,000-square-foot to 150,000-square-foot range.<br>
<br>
This wasn’t just a flurry and it’s over. We’ve
got others coming through,” Reynolds said. “This sort
of building has become a very attractive investment opportunity.”<br>
<br>
Spaulding and Slye has so far handled $111 million worth of deals
in the middle-market range out of roughly $350 million in sales
of all property types in the Greater Boston market. <br>
<br>
“We’re seeing it as a stronger year for that marketplace,”
he said. “We’ve got capital still looking at real estate
as the place to be, capital that wants to be in Boston, and this
is the vehicle. People can get into those without having to buy
a tower.”<br>
<br>
Meredith & Grew Inc., a Boston-based real estate firm, is marketing
the sale of 199 State St., which will overlook the new Rose Kennedy
Greenway once the expressway is demolished. <br>
<br>
The property, which has elicited nearly 100 offering memorandums,
could continue to be used as an office building or be converted
into residential condominiums, said Lisa Campoli, co-head of Meredith
& Grew’s capital markets group.<br>
<br>
While she doesn’t think 2003 will end with a higher trading
volume than previous years, she expects there will be a “decent”
number of middle-market transactions despite the weak office-leasing
environment.<br>
<br>
“There is a lot of activity right now,” Campoli said.
“It’s a good time to sell a small downtown building.
I think it’s going to end on a strong note. <br>
<br>
The three buildings in the Fairlane Portfolio were built in the
late 1800s and early 1900s, but have had a total of $5 million in
renovations done recently. They are 91 percent leased. <br>
<br>
On top of that, the buildings’ tenants have been long-term,
reliable occupants, with several of them renewing their leases as
the sale was being negotiated, said Cappy Daume, a senior vice president
at Spaulding and Slye who handled the sale along with Scott Jamieson.<br>
<br>
“There were tenants who had been in the buildings for more
than one cycle,” she said. “They have a proven attachment
to the real estate and the location.”<br>
<br>
Michael Grill, president of Fairlane Properties, said investors’
demand for real estate prompted Fairlane to sell sooner than expected.
<br>
<br>
“We did have a longer-term hold planned, but you have to adjust
to market situations,” he said. <br>
With the sale, the only other property in Boston that Fairlane owns
is 98 N. Washington St., that the company is looking for opportunities
to buy.<br>
<br>
David Godbout, managing partner at Blakely Stern, said a combination
of the location and a solid tenant base fit the fund’s short-
and long-term investment requirements. <br>
<br>
“These assets represented the perfect balance,” Godbout
said, with their price well below replacement cost, a steady rent
yield going in and significant potential over a mid- to long-term
hold.<br>
<br>
BlakelyStern has retained Fairlane as the asset manager and Boston-based
Lincoln Property Co. as the property manager and leasing agent.
Asking rates in the three buildings range from $24 to $28 a square
foot. </span></p>
