TRI-CENTURY EYE CARE, PC: SOUTHAMPTON, PA

Tri-Century Eye (TCE) has been the dominant eye care provider in the Philadelphia, PA metro area for nearly 50 years. In order to best position TCE for continued success and growth well into the future, G/M Property Group was chosen from amongst several large national companies to assist in the sale, and leaseback, of TCE's flagship location with accredited surgery center. The assignment included structuring an absolute triple net lease, providing counsel and assistance during a mid-deal corporate restructuring and navigating a nationwide marketing campaign through the COVID-19 pandemic. G/M's savvy and persistence resulted in a closing price that shattered the all-time medical office building sales price per square foot record in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

14 O'Henry Avenue: Asheville, NC

Twenty Lake Holdings based in New York City had a portfolio of Gannett newspaper properties under contract, including 14 O’Henry Avenue, the headquarters for the Asheville Citizen Times since 1939. Following a competitive selection process, G/M Property Group, LLC was tasked with the challenge of securing a buyer to close on the property simultaneously with Twenty Lake Holdings’ portfolio acquisition from Gannett. Further complicating the process was the high level of confidentiality required during marketing, with Twenty Lake Holdings not wishing to disclose their asking price while negotiating their Gannett transaction. Despite limited online presence and restricted marketing we successfully brokered the closing within five months of listing. Closing issues included negotiating the leaseback terms between the Gannett, Twenty Lake Holdings and the eventual buyer.

2810 Parham Road: Richmond, VA

First Union (63,747 sf) was vacating this operations center due to mergers with two banks that each completed brand new state-of-the-art facilities in the Richmond market prior to their mergers with First Union. The acquisition cost of this investment was approximately 60% of replacement cost. The purchaser viewed lease-up of the First Union space as significant upside potential in a market with little vacancy, escalating market rental rates, and very few large blocks of existing space for lease. The purchaser planned to further increase return on investment by converting covered parking to office rental space. Purchaser was based out of Boston, MA.

63 Monticello Road: Weaverville, NC

In 2017, Mission Health entered into an agreement to purchase Weaverville Family Medical Associates, a family medical practice serving north Asheville. G/M Property Group, LLC was hired to negotiate a new 10-year NNN lease on behalf of four doctors that retained ownership of the real estate post-merger. Subsequently, in early 2018 G/M negotiated the property's sale to a 3rd party investor backed by the credit of Mission Health and the triple net lease.

In 2019, Mission Health was acquired by HCA Healthcare in a $1.5 billion transaction. Recognizing the improved credit strength of the new tenancy in conjunction with a booming economy and low interest rate environment, the landlord hired G/M to sell the property in the fall of 2019. Despite just 7 years remaining on the lease and unthinkable turmoil amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, G/M handled the sale in approximately 6 months from engagement. Seller recognized an 18% gain on the sale over a ~ 2-year hold. Buyer was the economic development organization to the members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians

48 Grove Street #200: Asheville, NC

A second floor office condominium, the property had been occupied for over 50 years by the NC Employment Securities Commission. Despite this longevity, the creditworthiness of the state tenancy was greatly diminished by the risk of a single tenant condominium with only two years remaining on the in-place 5-year lease term and the tenant’s right to terminate at any time with 60 days notice. By negotiating a significant escrow deposit held for several years post closing, we were successful in overcoming these challenges for the seller.
