CBRE announced the sale of Sunridge II, a 698,880-square-foot Class A+ distribution center, located at 1700 N. Goode Road in Wilmer, Texas. Cohen Asset Management purchased the property from Scannell Properties for an undisclosed price.

Randy Baird, Jonathan Bryan, Ryan Thornton, Nathan Wynne and Eliza Bachhuber with CBRE National Partners arranged the transaction on behalf of the seller.

Delivered in 2022, the property is strategically located off I-45 and approximately one mile from the Union Pacific Intermodal Terminal. Built with market-leading specifications, the distribution center features 40-foot clear highs, cross-dock configuration, 138 dock doors, four drive-in ramps and an ESFR sprinkler system. In addition to the distribution space, the property includes 10,000 square feet of office space (making up 1.4% of the total property).

According to CBRE’s Q3 2022 Industrial MarketView, the South Dallas submarket remained the most sought-after area for industrial users across the metroplex with nearly 2.2 million square feet of net absorption in Q3 and 8.4 million square feet year to date (YTD). Despite the 30.2 million square feet of new deliveries in 2022, there has been 27 million square feet of leasing activity, leaving the direct vacancy rate for the metroplex at 4.9%.

JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of a three-property self-storage portfolio totaling 1,743 units in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The facilities are located at 864 E. Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill, 8060 Precinct Line Road in Colleyville and 6818 FM 2499 in Denton. Each property has excellent frontage along a prominent thoroughfare and is located in a dense and affluent trade area. In addition, the immediate area surrounding all three properties have seen a 47% increase in multifamily development and a nearly 20% increase in residential development since 2010, ensuring steady demand for self-storage space.

The portfolio totals 201,850 square feet across the three properties. Features at the Class A, climate-controlled facilities include 24-hour video surveillance systems, security systems, electronic gate access, keypad entry and individual unit locks.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Managing Directors Brian Somoza and Steve Mellon, Directors Matthew Wheeler and Adam Roossien and Analyst Jake Kinnear.

“The self-storage sector in Dallas-Fort Worth continues to benefit from the area’s strong job growth, job recovery and population growth,” Mellon said.

JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group has closed the $55 million sale of six Hyatt Place-branded select-service hotels totaling 754 keys across the Southeast, Texas and Kansas.

JLL worked on behalf of Argentic Services Company LP, as a special servicer for the seller’s two CMBS Trusts, in the sale of the properties to HKB Hotel Group, LLC. The properties were offered unencumbered by management and with long-term Hyatt franchise agreements.

Each hotel was constructed between 1995 and 1997 and features 126 guestrooms, except for the hotel in Georgia, which has 124 rooms.

The portfolio consists of:

Hyatt Place Atlanta Alpharetta North Point Mall, Alpharetta, Georgia
Hyatt Place Charlotte Arrowood, Charlotte, North Carolina
Hyatt Place Dallas Park Central, Dallas, Texas
Hyatt Place Greenville Haywood, Greenville, South Carolina
Hyatt Place Roanoke Airport Valley View Mall, Roanoke, Virginia
Hyatt Place Topeka, Topeka, Kansas

The hotels are located within highly desired primary and secondary submarkets with a diverse base of corporate and leisure demand drivers. In addition to each submarket’s strong corporate presence, ranging from healthcare, industrial, finance, technology and more, the properties are surrounded by a variety of retail, dining and entertainment options.

The JLL Hotels & Hospitality team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Chris Dewey, Vice President Steve Leslie and Senior Managing Director Will Sledge.
