EPIC Lease at 50 Penn - PEC Retail Investment Team Handles Both Sides of the Transaction

Article via The Journal Record by Molly Fleminghttp://journalrecord.com/2018/08/02/an-epic-move-former-itt-tech-space-to-transform-into-charter-school-location/

OKLAHOMA CITY – Posters from ITT Tech are peeling off the walls at the school’s former space in 50 Penn Place. The cabinets and desks are still in place. Framed posters feature student testimonials about how the school changed people’s lives.

The space has been vacant since September 2016, when ITT Tech abruptly closed all of its campuses. People grabbed their personal belongings and left.

At 50 Penn Place, 1900 Northwest Expressway, the school occupied space on the north and south sides of the third floor, totaling about 19,000 square feet.

A couple of years ago, Epic Charter Schools had looked at combining its Oklahoma City campuses under one roof and considered 50 Penn Place. But they passed, continuing to operate and grow.

Now, the online-based charter school has reached capacity at its three buildings in the city’s northwest sector. It needs more space, so the school is leasing all of the former ITT space. Staff members will start moving into the space in about 60 days, said Ben Harris, Epic’s co-founder.

Price Edwards & Co. Retail Investment Team broker George Williams completed the transaction. The center and tower are owned by In-Rel Properties, based in Florida.

By 2020, the school will move into an additional 20,000 square feet on 50 Penn’s third floor. This will make Epic’s Oklahoma City square footage 80,000 square feet, with its three buildings and 50 Penn Place. Harris said before the move in 2020, the school will evaluate whether it will keep its three old buildings or move everyone to 50 Penn.

Harris said it is appropriate that the school is moving back into a mall since it once had space in North Park Mall.

Moving into 50 Penn came with several advantages, said David Chaney, school co-founder and superintendent. It offered plentiful parking, which will be helpful for employees, students and parents.

Epic considers itself a blended learning school. While some activity is done online, students still have to come to the buildings to take tests, or they can meet with teachers.

The location was also an asset, Chaney said. Epic’s Oklahoma City campus is in its second year of operating a learning center for elementary-school-aged children. Parents can drop their students off at the school and not have to pick them up until 6 p.m. Being on Northwest Expressway and still in the northwest sector will be helpful to parents, he said.

Since Epic is occupying a former school, it will be able to save on furniture costs.

“Everything is in great shape,” Harris said.

The ITT space offers a variety of room sizes, which will give Epic enough areas for student testing and teacher meetings. The school gives the required state tests, as well as its own quarterly benchmark assessments.

When Epic is ready to move into the other 20,000 square feet, the mall space will be redesigned. The existing Urban Market restaurant will remain.

Epic has spoken with HSE architecture firm and Smith & Pickel construction about updating the space. The renovation will start in spring 2019.

With Epic in 50 Penn, the retail center has 75 percent occupancy. The office tower is 90 percent occupied.

Williams said it made sense to go after a nontraditional retail tenant because retail hasn’t been successful at 50 Penn in several years. There’s still 30,000 square feet to fill at 50 Penn, Williams said.

“When Epic came along, it was a perfect for what the landlord wanted, and what Epic wanted, too,” he said.

Harris said the 50 Penn staple Full Circle Bookstore is a great amenity to the new space as well, and can also be a place where students meet with teachers.

“We feel like 50 Penn is a good place for our employees, too,” Chaney said.

Riverwalk Centre Sold for $5,150,000 - Retail Investment Team Handled Both Sides of the Transaction

Article via The Journal Record by Molly Fleming - http://journalrecord.com/2018/08/03/riverwalk-centre-sold-for-5-15-million/

Article via The Journal Record by Molly Fleming - http://journalrecord.com/2018/08/03/riverwalk-centre-sold-for-5-15-million/

MOORE – A shopping center in a popular area has traded hands and will soon have a new tenant.

Dallas-area-based Riverwalk Centre LLC, led by Tommy Dreiling and his business partner Todd Rouse, purchased the 78,127-square-foot Riverwalk Centre, 2712 S. Telephone Rd. in Moore, for $5.15 million, or $65 per square foot.

This is the group’s first purchase in Oklahoma, though Dreiling has been in real estate development for more than 20 years.

Price Edwards & Co.’s Retail Investment Team handled the transaction. Paul Ravencraft, Phillip Mazaheri, and George Williams make up the team.

Ravencraft said the center had gone through a foreclosure. Price Edwards listed it in September 2017, and the sale closed July 12. He said the team received about 10 offers on the property, with people interested inside and outside the state.

The center is anchored by the vacant 60,000-square-foot Gordmans space. Gordmans declared bankruptcy in March 2017 and closed all its stores. Having this large space could have made the sale a challenge, Ravencraft said.

“The market for a buyer with a 60,000-square-foot anchor space was pretty tough,” he said. “The difficult thing is that just about every big-box tenant was already there. There wasn’t a lot to pick from.”

But there’s not an Urban Air multi-entertainment center, which is what Dreiling will bring to the center. He’s a franchisee for the concept. He’ll be putting the Urban Air into the former Gordmans space. It will be one of the largest Urban Airs in the country, he said.

Since Dreiling had the entertainment venue in his pocket, buying the center was a win-win. He said the Urban Air will offer more than trampolines. It will have go-carts, laser tag, bumper cars, a sky ride where children can get harnessed from the ceiling, and warrior courses, like seen on the television show American Ninja Warrior.

“This is a trampoline park on steroids,” he said.

Dreiling said he expects to revitalize the entire center, especially when the anchor Urban Air opens. He said he hopes to have it open by Thanksgiving, but realistically it will be by year’s end.

He said the Moore area is attractive because of the growth in the school district and the surrounding homes’ median incomes.

“We like the possibilities,” he said. “We feel like the Moore City Council and Moore as a whole are very economic-development friendly. They have been one of the most helpful cities so far. These guys really want us there.”

Dreiling is planning to put another Urban Air in Oklahoma City and has the franchise rights to a site in Columbia, South Carolina, and Southern California.

Crossroads Mall offers an investor or developer the opportunity to own property at arguably the best intersection in the state of Oklahoma.

Conversion – the premium location and sheer size of the project provide the opportunity to be creative through re-design and re-development as an education hub, industrial distribution center.

Full Mixed Use – 63 acres and great visibility provide the footprint and infrastructure for a full mixed-use project that could include retail, office, garden office, residential, and flex space.

Industrial – the Property is zoned moderate industrial and, with the adjacent rail service, interstate access, and the availability of heavy infrastructure, is a prime distribution/warehouse site.

HOW DOES THE NEW TAX BILL TAX IMPACT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE?

Downtown OKC Looking UP.jpg

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act that recently passed is the most sweeping tax reform since the Reagan administration. The legislation will impact everyone, some will reap more benefits than others.

On a range of points, commercial real estate will see positive benefits under the new law. Let’s review a few of the changes that have the potential to fuel commercial real estate.

Pass-Through Entities

Pass-through entities such as partnerships and limited liability companies are set to benefit significantly from the new law. These are companies that do not pay direct corporate tax, but instead “pass through” their gains and losses to the individual members of the company or partnership. Under the new law, investors in pass-through entities will benefit from a new 20% deduction.

Real estate investment is almost always conducted through such entities. Owners of pass-through entities may be eligible to claim a 20 percent deduction for business-related income. For example, if an LLP owns a commercial building that provides $200,000 in annual income to its investor partners, those individual investors could avoid paying taxes on $40,000 of that income if they are eligible for the full 20 percent deduction.

1031 Exchanges

1031 exchanges allow you to exchange like-kind property and roll your gain forward without having to pay tax. This provision remains mostly unchanged except for one modification.

The new rules modified 1031 exchanges to include only real property. That exclusion will have a negative tax impact on real estate assets that also contain a high amount of personal property, such as restaurants that have significant value tied up in the furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Previously, those companies were able to exchange the full amount.

Tax Brackets

The tax plan lowers most individual tax rates and increases the standard deduction.

In 2017, for a married couple the brackets were:

-10% (taxable income up to $18,650)
-15% ($18,650 to $75,900)
-25% ($75,900 to $153,100)
-28% ($153,100 to $233,350)
-33% ($233,350 to $416,700)
-35% ($416,700 to $470,700)
-39.6% (taxable income over $470,700)

Under the new plan they would be:

-10% (taxable income up to $19,050)
-12% ($19,050 to $77,400)
-22% ($77,400 to $165,000)
-24% ($165,000 to $315,000)
-32% ($315,000 to $400,000)
-35% ($400,000 to $600,000)
-37% (taxable income over $600,000)

Overall many of the provisions passed will have a positive impact on tax savings for investors, allowing them to keep more of their earned income. Another factor that could impact real estate includes the “tax holiday” that allows corporations to repatriate some of the trillions of dollars that are held outside the U.S. with a significantly smaller tax penalty. This may very well drive demand in many areas if that cash is invested back into the economy as expected. Lastly, most Americans should see some tax savings from the above rate reductions, 401k increases, and hopefully higher wages and bonuses. This means more money for retail goods and services that will drive up consumer spending and boost the economy.

With any legislation this size, it will take time to determine the net effect but initial analysis appears promising for economic and job growth that will, in turn, drive demand for commercial real estate.
