Amstar Completes Another Pre-Sale; Sells 352,680 Square Foot Class "A" Industrial Property in Houston's North Submarket
DENVER, May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Amstar, a Denver-based real estate investment manager, on behalf of one of its public retirement system clients, announced today the sale of Beltway North Commerce Center, a 352,680-square-foot Class "A" industrial property in Houston, Texas. The buyer and sale price were not disclosed. The property sale was arranged during construction and closed when the building was complete.
Amstar in partnership with Davis Commercial Development, LLC ("DCD") acquired the 35-acre land parcel in March 2014 and developed a 352,680 square-foot, state-of-the-art, cross-dock industrial building on the site. The building was constructed to meet LEED standards. Rosenberger Construction acted as the general contractor.
The property is located at 971 North Sam Houston Parkway E., immediately south of George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston's North submarket, one of the healthiest industrial submarkets in the country. The building has tremendous visibility with more than 1,200 feet of frontage along the Beltway, and was designed to be attractive to tenants across many industries. The building can accommodate a single or multi-tenant leasing strategy.
"Thanks to the hard work of DCD, we developed a Class "A" property in an irreplaceable location. We would have enjoyed managing and owning this property for many years; however, a sale at this time was in the best of interest of the partnership and our client. We were fortunate to have a strong local partner to identify opportunities early in the recovery and allow for a sale when value had been maximized. This was Amstar's second project with Jeff Davis and we look forward to many more," said Amstar Managing Director Daniel Cohen.
"We purchased this site in early 2014 from a corporate owner who had slated it for commercial development for years due to the outstanding location near the George Bush Intercontinental Airport but had never started construction. We acquired the site, changed the use and designed a building very well suited for the industrial and office space users in the North Houston submarket. We teamed with Amstar again based on our successful track record with them and their timely market insights. Together we were prepared to construct, lease, manage and own the new facility for the long term but this opportunity to sell was compelling," said Jeffrey P. Davis, principal of Davis Commercial Development.
Josh McArtor and Heather McClain Venegoni from CBRE in Dallas represented the seller in the transaction.
