/in , /by

Cushman & Wakefield has arranged three leases totaling 18,581 square feet at 1700 Palm Beach Lakes on behalf of Capstone Realty Group.

Anthony Librizzi and Tara England of Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord in the lease negotiations. Kubicki Draper signed a 10,978-square-foot lease, ASM Sports Group signed a 4,433-square-foot lease and Next Generation MRI signed a 3,170-square-foot lease.

“We are committed to making 1700 the premiere Palm Beach Lakes building, a strong alternative to the West Palm downtown market,” said Mitchell Adelstein, Managing Partner of Capstone. “Our Cushman leasing team did a superb job executing these leases by delivering the value differential for 1700 vs our competition.” 

The 11-story building totals 113,964 square feet. Recent renovation work includes a new lobby, café, conference center, outside seating/lounge area with new landscaping and installation of a Phenomenal Aire Series R Cold Plasma Generator which creates a plasma field within a HVAC system that naturally cleans passing air. Located just east of Interstate 95, the property is within walking distance of restaurants, hotels and shopping.

“These new leases are a direct result of ownership’s commitment to completely repositioning this asset to be the premier office building on the Palm Beach Lakes corridor which has resulted in demand unlike anything we’ve seen before,” Librizzi said.

Cushman & Wakefield has negotiated the sale and financing of 1700 Palm Beach Lakes, a ±113,964-square-foot, Class A office building in Palm Beach County.

The Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets team of Scott O’Donnell, Dominic Montazemi, Greg Miller, Miguel Alcivar and Michael Ciadella, with significant support from Cushman & Wakefield agency leasing specialist Anthony Librizzi, negotiated the sale on behalf of 1700 PBL LLC, an affiliate of Miami-based Breakers Capital.

Hackensack, New Jersey-based Capstone acquired the building for $19.35 million, or about $170 per square foot.

Jason Hochman of Cushman & Wakefield’s Equity, Debt & Structured Finance group assisted the purchaser in securing an $18.4 million acquisition loan from Blue Vista Finance on behalf of Capstone.

1700 Palm Beach Lakes is an 11-story office tower developed in 1988 on a ±1.24-acre site at 1700 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. The property features structured parking, a covered entrance and premium interior finishes, providing a true Class A experience.

Ownership recently completed a capital investment program valued at nearly $2 million that included a complete elevator modernization, complete lobby and garage restorations and a full-building generator replacement.

1700 Palm Beach Lakes’ location along the Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard corridor offers tremendous connectivity to greater West Palm Beach and the central business district (CBD) via the adjacent Interstate 95 interchange, North Congress Avenue and North Australian Avenue. The property is positioned to capitalize on the corridor’s recent transformation, marked by the development of the Palm Beach Outlets and the Hilton Garden Inn West Palm Beach at the Outlets, which serves as Spring Training home for the Houston Astros.

The property was 89.4% occupied at the time of sale. Notable tenants include the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Valley National Bank, Uniters North America and Comcast Spotlight. The IRS will vacate more than ±32,000 square feet in 3Q 2019, dropping occupancy to 61.1% and creating a tremendous value-add opportunity for new ownership.

“The IRS’ departure actually creates an exceptional value-add opportunity to update a significant swath of older space in the building, bringing it more in line with the needs of modern, smaller tenants which are prevalent in this submarket,” said O’Donnell. “The building is a best-in-class asset and offers Capstone upside potential given the ideal combination of positive market fundamentals, rapid nearby development and potential for a complete property rebranding in one of South Florida’s most exciting cities.”
