PointOne Holdings, in a joint venture with Adler Kawa Real Estate Advisors (“AKREA”) acquired Riverchase Center in Birmingham, Alabama. The single story office complex encompasses 306,725 square feet of office space containing a dynamic, diversified, and nationally recognized tenant roster.
Riverchase Center is located in Hoover/Riverchase, one of Birmingham’s most prestigious submarkets and within the sought-after Riverchase master-planned commercial park development which includes high-caliber corporate tenants like ATT, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Regions Bank. The property enjoys superior access along Interstates I-459 and I-65 and is approximately 20 minutes south of downtown Birmingham.
Riverchase Center is comprised of eight single story buildings currently occupied at 89% by nationally recognized tenants such as Frito-Lay, Progressive Insurance, Walgreens, BioHorizons Implant Systems, Gentiva Health Services, WideOrbit Inc and others. The property will be managed and leased by CBRE’s Birmingham office.
The PointOne Holdings / AKREA partnership obtained a non-recourse, loan at a fixed rate with a 7-year term from PNC Bank to fund the acquisition.
“We are excited to enter the Birmingham market with our joint venture partner on this transaction, PointOne Holdings who has years of experience in the local market,” said Matthew Adler, President and CEO of AKREA. “This acquisition provides Adler Kawa the opportunity to make a significant asset allocation which represents our strategy of purchasing high quality, multi-tenant light industrial and office asset with high levels of distributable cash flow.”
“We are extremely excited about the addition of Riverchase Center to our growing Birmingham portfolio, and to be partnering with AKREA, a skilled and experienced owner of commercial properties across the country” said Ben Small, a PointOne Holdings managing member. “This acquisition provides us with a great opportunity to grow and improve upon a property that contains the key components we seek in an investment – a dedicated tenant base of dynamic corporate, medical and biotechnology companies; a high-quality location with great access to highways, housing and amenities; and a well-constructed, best-in-class asset that would be difficult and costly to replicate in today’s environment.”
