Alameda Office/R&D Campus Attracts Strong Investor Interest

ALAMEDA, Calif. - Jan. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- JLL Capital Markets has completed the sale and financing of Alameda Center, a 155,040 square foot, four-building modern office/R&D campus adjacent to Alameda Landing in Alameda, Calif.

The buyer, North River Company LLC, invests in markets with strong path-of-growth characteristics. Erik Burke, Lisa Whitescarver, Coleman Burke, Chris Flagg and Chris Pachios led the purchase. North River Company owns and operates four million square feet of mixed-use properties in eight states.

Rob Hielscher, Michel Seifer and Erik Hanson led the JLL Capital Markets team handling the sale on behalf of the seller, Pacific Coast Capital Partners (PCCP).

Alex Witt, John Manning and Tom Gilliland of JLL Capital Markets worked with North River to arrange acquisition financing.

"Alameda Center received strong interest from a broad group of investors, both institutional and private, who recognized the high quality of the asset and durability of the tenancy. In addition, the fact that assets in Alameda are now pricing roughly half that of trades in downtown Oakland, just one mile away, presented an attractive value proposition for investors," said Rob Hielscher of JLL.

Alameda Center was built in two phases between 1990 and 1998. The property is 100 percent leased and is anchored by Sila Nanotechnologies, which recently expanded to occupy 87,000 square feet. The campus is adjacent to the 72-acre Alameda Landing mixed-use development offering significant existing retail as well as future residential amenities. Construction is underway north of the campus on hundreds of residential units, a public promenade along the estuary and a third commuter ferry terminal.
