BKM Capital Partners Recapitalizes Northwest Business Park in Phoenix with TC US Partners for $29M
Newport Beach, California-based BKM Capital Partners completed the recapitalization of Northwest Business Center, an 11-building, multi-tenant industrial business park in Phoenix, AZ for $29 million. The transaction was executed through a joint venture with TC US Partners, a real estate investment manager with a primary focus on dynamic growth markets in the United States.
BKM Capital Partners’ CEO Brian Malliet said, “We’re excited about this partnership and recapitalization with TC US because Northwest Business Park offers the ideal combination of stability, security and potential upside. The property represents an outstanding opportunity with an irreplaceable multi-tenant business park in one of Phoenix’s most desirable submarkets at a price well below replacement cost. Market demand remains strong in Metro Phoenix despite a pandemic-affected economy.”
“We are pleased to partner with BKM, an experienced operator with a proven track record that has demonstrated its ability to generate value through its vertically integrated platform. We are enthusiastic about the potential of the light industrial asset class given its resilience during the pandemic and strong fundamentals into the future. We expect this new partnership to continue delivering attractive opportunities and returns for our investors”, said Daniel Grunberg, co-founder of TC US Partners.
The recently renovated property encompasses 227,603 square feet of space in buildings spread out over 17.67 acres. The asset is located at 2310-2440 W. Mission Lane, 9014-9034 N. 23rd Ave. and 9013-9033 N. 24th Ave.
Northwest Business Park offers an array of suite sizes, configurations and buildout levels that appeal to a wide range of tenants, as evidenced by a tenancy spanning various industries, including logistics support, manufacturing, distribution, and construction businesses. The project boasts modern interior layouts and finishes, efficient loading areas and convenient drive-up surface parking. A recent capital investment in the asset exceeded $2.4 million and included maintenance and improvements to the roofs, HVAC, landscaping, and parking lot.
Located in the heart of Metro Phoenix, the Northwest Business Park delivers easy freeway access, is within walking distance to a future light rail station slated for completion in 2024, and is near an expansive workforce and a wealth of amenities. The property benefits from a frontage location on Dunlap Road, a major east/west arterial street, resulting in excellent street presence, strong building identity and an easily identifiable location.
BKM Capital Partners’ Brett Turner, Managing Director of Acquisitions, said, “Our investment thesis about the Phoenix market has been validated by healthy growth and demand for the light industrial product over the past few years. We recognized there was a tremendous value opportunity in the North Phoenix submarket with Northwest Business Park, the recapitalization of which with TC US aligns with our continued investment strategy.”
BKM continues to own and operate 2.1 million square feet throughout the Phoenix metro area.
