that included painting, paving, landscaping and new fencing. Located in Metro Phila- delphia, the 26.4-acre site provides direct access to the Pennsylvania Tpke., I-95 and Roosevelt Blvd.. The prop- erty boasts 18’-24’ clear ceiling heights, 22 dock doors, four drive-in doors and parking for 11200 Roosevelt Blvd.

Harris secured the financing on behalf of Ajax Advisors and Brickman Associates. Built in 1960, 11200 Roos- evelt Blvd. recently underwent more than $3.7 million in capital improvements, which included a new roof, electric service and fire alarm system upgrades, and exterior work

189 cars and 46 trailers. Ad- ditionally, the property offers 16,800 s/f of office space. 11200 Roosevelt Blvd. is currently 100 percent occu- pied by Philadelphia Delivery Systems, IK Marketplace, Philadelphia Academy Char- ter School and Dependable Distribution Services. MAREJ “We are pleased to partner with our client for a second time to refinance Bella Vista Senior Apartments, allow- ing the project to benefit from historically low inter- est rates and providing suf- ficient equity to buy-out one of their passive investors,” said Smith. “This project is in excellent condition and has been owned by the same group since its construction back in the 1970s. It serves an important population of low-income senior residents in Union City and will con- tinue to be a low risk and high value asset in HUD’s insurance portfolio.” Jeffre Juliano , managing member of the ownership en- tity and a partner at the law firm of O’Connor, Playdon, Guben & Inouye, L.L.P. , said, “Our group couldn’t be happier working with Berkadia and in particular Laura Smith and her team. Laura time and again makes working with her a win-win endeavor! She will go that ex- tra mile for the client.” MAREJ

CRE Market Shows Post-Pandemic Promise

he impact of the pan- demic isn’t quite over – especially with the Delta variant delaying real estate rebounds in some sec- tors. Still, despite continued uncertainty, deals are closing in markets across the U.S., and new business pipelines are refilling. This heightened ac - tivity is contributing to largely positive sentiment from mem- bers of CORFAC International, the premier network for inde- pendently owned commercial real estate firms, according to the organization’s mid-year 2021 Business Impact Survey. One big reason for optimism? Workers who hadn’t already done so are returning to in- person work, meetings and business travel. That’s having an impact not solely on real estate planning by owners and tenants, but also on the way brokers can conduct business. “Technology to improve and support the real estate busi- ness will continue to evolve, but the value of being able T

One in four respondents said their Q2 2021 transaction activity increased

significantly as compared to Q1 2021. Another 36% of mem- bers surveyed reported a slight increase in business activity. As noted by Latina, live interactions are contributing to the activity. A resounding 85% of respondents expect to have more face-to-face inter- action with their clients in the next six months. And, 80% of those surveyed expect even more new activity in the next six months as a result of post- pandemic reopening. Looking at the market and business conditions more broadly revealed that business sentiment is on the rise, too. A whopping 86% of respondents continued on page 16A

ARSIPPANY, NJ — Signature Acquisi- tions , one of the re- gion’s most active and pres- tigious owner/managers of class A suburban office space, announces a major capital improvement plan at 100 Kimball, a 175,000 s/f class A office building located at 100 Kimball Dr. in Parsippany. The capital improvements will feature significant tenant- focused upgrades to maintain 100 Kimball’s position as the premier office space in Morris County tailored to the post- pandemic work environment. Situated less than a mile from the intersection of Inter- states 287 and 80 in Morris County, 100 Kimball’s strate- gic location is paired with five stories of endlessly adaptable office space. Constructed in 2007, Signature Acquisitions acquired 100 Kimball in April 2019 to augment its rapidly growing four-million-square- foot portfolio of high-quality office assets across New Jer - sey and New York. Currently home to Deloitte, the account- ing firm’s planned departure from the building next year will enable Signature Acquisi- tions to bring the full building to the market in August of 2022. Capitalizing on this rare opportunity, Signature Ac- quisitions tapped architec- tural firm Studio 1200 to re-envision 100 Kimball ’s function and purpose around the evolving needs of employ- ers and their employees. The strategic capital improvement plan will focus on transform- ing 100 Kimball into the only corporate destination in Mor - ris County designed to serve to the post-pandemic work- place. Through the addition of in-demand amenities and the modernization of common areas, Signature Acquisitions will create a tenant experience that fosters collaboration, in- novation and socialization as workers return to the office. Beginning with a complete revitalization of the lobby, Signature Acquisitions will ensure that tenants and visi- tors feel welcomed the moment they enter in 100 Kimball. In addition, the redesigned café will transform the traditional office cafeteria into a dynamic indoor and outdoor dining space with creative and one- of-a-kind menu items and exciting culinary options. Con-

“Morris County’s highly favorable demographics, deep labor pool and transportation connectivity continues to drive strong demand for Class-A office space in the market,” said Heller, Principal and Managing Director of Avison Young’s New Jersey office, “Through their visionary capi - tal improvement plan at 100 Kimball, Signature Acquisi- tions will create a unique op- portunity for a modern, nimble workspace sought-after by many businesses in the region as they determine their return to work plans.” MAREJ

or secure a $100,000 mort- gage. Effectively, investors are working in a much nar- rower box with fewer alterna- tives – all while the clock is winding down on the 180-day timeframe allowed to complete an exchange. Including a DST 1031 property option creates a reliable backup plan for inves- tors like Alison T. in case her original property exchange falls through. That’s why DST specialists are a great resource for real estate brokers because they can help ensure the client has a reliable backup plan ready to go. Smart brokers who rep- resent investment property owners should always have a relationship with a DST 1031 specialist advisory firm like Kay Properties and Invest- ments. They can present the DST 1031 strategy to their clients as an added benefit that they bring to the table, while also providing an expert resource for creating a back-up 1031 identification tool and creating a safe tactic to avoid a mortgage “boot”. (*Every investor’s tax situ- ation is different, and this ar- ticle is not tax or legal advice. Investors should inquire with their CPA/Accountant to ver- ify their 1031 requirements) “When brokers are getting close to listing a property, it is important that they contact Kay Properties in an ample amount of time before their client’s deadline. This will give them enough time to under- stand the risk and business plan of each offering. We are always available for confer- ence calls and or in-person meetings with your clients,” said Dwight Kay, founder and CEO of Kay Properties & Investments. 1https://www.cbre.us/research-and-reports/2021- US-Real-Estate-Market-Outlook-Multifamily Chay Lapin is president of Kay Properties & Invest- ments.

● What is “mortgage boot” and why should it be avoided? ●What do DST 1031 experts bring to the table for both the seller and real estate broker? Today’s multifamily market is bustling with activity as the number of owners and inves- tors from Maine to California are executing thousands of sell/buy transactions every single day. According to a recent multifamily market report 1 by CBRE Real Estate Group, this deal velocity can be attributed in part to favor- able economic conditions and reduced negative impacts from COVID-19. So far in 2021, the multifamily market saw $148 billion in transactional activity, a 33 percent total increase over the previous year. Owners of appreciated rental properties may have equity potentially “locked up” in their investment real estate. Selling in this bustling market can potentially unlock this trapped equity. Find- ing replacement properties to 1031 exchange into that provide passive income and potential for diversification is a challenge many sellers face. Delaware Statutory Trust may be a potential solution to this challenge. That’s why more and more brokers are turn- ing to DST specialists to help advise their clients on how to avoid being hit with a large capital gains tax following the sale of their multifamily investment property. In a nutshell, DST 1031 exchanges allow multifamily sellers to defer the income from the sale of their property by in- vesting in a co-ownership real estate portfolio as outlined in the Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 2004-86. The DST 1031 structure allows a trust to be set up that consists of multiple investors who share passive ownership of a designated building or entire portfolio of investment prop- erties. This strategy allows

key deals and that have a lot of moving parts. In addition, very few brokers can find ap - propriate property options for their investors that fit for a cli - ent with very specific require - ments for debt replacement parameters. Enter the Delaware Statutory Trust Specialist This is where a Delaware Statutory Trust specialty firm can be of real value to a real es- tate broker who is represent- ing a multifamily investor who just sold a property. One of the potential advantages of a DST is that it provides beneficial interest in a property that has non-recourse debt that is already “pre-packaged” for a 1031 exchange. Effectively, what that means is that it is relatively simple for the real estate investor to make the 1031 exchange math work – almost down to the penny. Investors also have greater flexibility in putting their in - vestment dollars into multiple DSTs in a variety of real estate combinations and still achieve their desired equity and debt targets. A hypothetical investor named Alison T. needs to re - place $200,000 in equity and $100,000 in debt. Now she could put $100,000 into one DST with no debt (an all-cash debt free DST) and the re - maining $100,000 into a DST that has a loan on the property at 50% Offering Loan to Value (LTV). Another option would be to put $50,000 into a DST with no debt and $75,000 each into two additional DSTs that both have 40% LTV. In comparison, an investor conducting an exchange with a single property, such as a rental home, would have to find a property they want to buy at the desired $300,000 price. They would then have to bring their own money to the table for an all-cash purchase

investors to create customized and diversified portfolios, alle - viate the daily landlord duties, reduce the financial burden by spreading costs across mul- tiple investors, provide inves- tors the potential for monthly income potential, and offers significant tax advantages. DST properties are typically institutional-grade real estate assets like net lease buildings, self-storage facilities, logistics and transportation centers, and multi-family apartments, offering investors the opportu- nity to own assets that would normally be financially out of reach for them. Brokers Need a Delaware Statutory Trust 1031 Specialist to Help Them Advise Their Clients 1031 exchanges are often the “preferred solution” for investors who have sold their investment property. Because no matter who the investor is or what type of investment asset that has been sold, they will always face the same chal- lenge at the end of sale of an appreciated property: a big tax bill. This tax event is called “capital gains” and is calcu- lated by taking the difference between a property’s cost basis and the sale price, typically at a rate of somewhere between 15 percent and 28 percent for federal capital gains taxes. Add to that depreciation re- capture rate of 25 percent, state capital gains tax, and medicare surcharge and the tax consequences could be devastating. In fact, many in- vestment property owners de- cide not to sell because of the significant tax implications. A DST 1031 Over a Straight 1031 Exchange? At this point, the real estate broker will most likely recom- mend the seller enter a “1031 exchange”. This strategy is named after section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code

and allows a property owner to defer capital gains taxes on a profitable sale by reinvesting the proceeds into another prop- erty of “like kind,” and there is no limit to how many times it can be done. In theory, there could be a successive series of exchanges that defer capital gains taxes indefinitely, which allows an investor’s income to potentially grow tax-free over a long period of time. However, the rules of a 1031 exchange can be complicated and incredibly difficult (and potentially expensive) to ac- complish without the advice of a true 1031 expert. Generally speaking, all 1031 exchanges follow these parameters: ● The replacement property must be “of the same nature or character” (i.e. “held for investment purposes”) as the relinquished one. ● The new property must be “identified” within 45 days of the close of the sale, and the purchase transaction must be completed within 180 days of the sale. ● The amount of money in - vested into the new property must be the same as the sale proceeds from the old prop- erty. If there is a difference, it is known as “boot,” and it becomes taxable. ● Exchangers must hold title to replacement property in the same way as the relinquished property. ● Any errors in the transac - tion or violations of the rules can cause the transaction to become a failed exchange (meaning any applicable taxes will be due). Many brokers confess that identifying a replacement property and then successfully completing the exchange is exceedingly difficult to accom - plish in the required timeline. TSometimes brokers can only present their clients with properties that are not turn-

“The pandemic took its toll on many non-profits in our sur - rounding community. Before the pandemic hit, my plans were to construct a new build- ing, but I could see them fade as the COVID numbers in- creased,” said Katherine Jones, executive director of Bay Area Center for Independent Living. “I was disheartened that we many never have the capital to build a new building because of increasing construction costs. I never thought about purchas- ing an existing commercial property until Merry Mears opened my eyes to the many possibilities. She was able to find us the perfect building in the right location that fit our budget. We now have twice the amount of space than we originally envisioned. Thank you Merry and NAI Coastal for making our dream a reality!” Originally founded in 1974, Bay Area CIL currently works throughout nine Delmarva counties to advocate for and promote the rights of individu- als with disabilities. The new building will allow their team of volunteers to expand their reach as they pursue equality and ease of access to education, work opportunities and com- munity services. “I’m thankful for the trust Bay Area Center for Indepen- dent Living placed in me to assist them in finding the right space to expand into—it was critical to ensure that leader- ship and staff felt that they would be able to serve their clients in an improved man- ner through space allocation. I know we met that goal,” said Mears. “Once we found the right building, we were able to structure the deal in a way that assisted both sides in moving forward in the most optimal manner.” Mears collaborated with The McClellan Team of SVN Miller Commercial Real Estate , representative of the seller.

his vision was spot on. “Since Spring of last year, we’ve been seeing an exodus rise coming from residents living in major cities such as Manhattan, Jersey City and Hoboken.” Domenico said. “As the pandemic looms and people continue to work remotely, it’s apparent that most of them are willing to trade the city-life for more living space in locations that aren’t heavily populated and have less overhead.” The 240-unit apartment complex consists of 21 build- ings situated on 37-acres. The unit mix includes (64) studios, (116) one-bedroom units and

Sussex County is the north- ernmost county in New Jer - sey, part of the New York Metropolitan area and the state’s Skylands Region. Liv- ing in Sussex County offers residents a dense suburban feel. Hardyston Twp. is an absolutely beautiful town surrounded by breathtaking mountains and lakes. The area has little or no crime and

is made up of warm, friendly people who are extremely hospitable. “I believe we are going to continue to see an influx in the greater New York Metropoli - tan areas. We’ve been seeing a lot of deals outside the cities come across our desks as the demand for a more suburban lifestyle grows. City adjacent properties are hot commodi- ties for investors right now. Banks are also seeing the potential in such properties, so arranging financing has gotten a little less difficult.”

Domenico concluded. Since 1990, Progress Capi- tal has closed over $40 Billion in commercial loans and $150 Million in directly funded bridge loans.

and knew that there were spe- cial circumstances that would require their services,” said Alex Stiglich, South Pa- cific Funds and Commerce Limited , who represented the borrower. “Commercial banks and other conventional lenders just ask for too many things, and particularly if time is of the essence, there’s no chance to close,” he said. “Kennedy is more flexible in so many ways. They focus exclusively on the collateral. That’s how they get the deal done. I trust them 100% with their ability to close.”

On September 10, Kennedy Funding closed on a $2.5 mil- lion land loan to Allan Con- strucciones S.A.C. to fund the construction of their resi- dential project. The loan will be used initially for working capital. The loan was secured by two pieces of land — 26,326.89 square meters of land located at Jr. Jose Galvez C-08 Tarap- oto, Peru, and 145,109 square meters of land located at Par- cel 0639141 Oxapampa, Pasco, Peru. The site is currently raw land. Kevin Wolfer , CEO of Ken- nedy Funding, said there are

Kennedy Fund i ng has earned a worldwide reputation for closing loans when others cannot. Loans on land have become one of their success- ful in-demand loan products. They have successfully closed over $3 billion in loans, much of it on land, all over the world: Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Do- minican Republic, Jamaica, St. Barts, and many countries and continents, including loans throughout the US and Canada. “I met with Kennedy’s man- agement team a long time ago

“It takes an experienced lender like Kennedy Funding to do business in Peru,” Wolfer said. “You have to navigate through the maze of local laws and mounds of paperwork pertaining to real estate, land use, title and environmental. Securing an accurate property appraisal in an unknown coun- try is vital, particularly when it’s raw land – that is why Kennedy uses world-renowned firms like CBRE . We can count on them so we can offer the highest loan amount pos- sible to our borrowers.” “Allan Construcciones was able to provide us with two prime parcels in different parts of the country,” he said. “They are located in areas that were attractive to us as lenders, and each has a rich history.” Tarapoto is a commercial hub town located in the San Martin Province in northern Peru; although Moyobamba is the capital of the region, Tarapoto is the region’s largest city. It is located 356 meters above sea level on the high jungle plateau, also called the cloud forest. It was founded in 1782 by Baltazar Martinez Jimenez de Compagnon. Ac- cording to the 2017 census, it has a total population of 310,073, including the Mo- rales and Banda de Shilcayo districts. The region’s main activities are tourism, com- merce, and agriculture. “We are proud to have been able to close this loan in Peru,” adds Wolfer. “We have a large pipeline of loan requests from all over South America. Other lenders can’t close these types of loans. We can. We look for- ward to filling that void in the marketplace.” About Kennedy Funding Kennedy Funding is a global direct private lender specializ- ing in bridge loans for commer- cial property and land acquisi- tion, development, workouts, bankruptcies, and foreclo- sures. Kennedy Funding has closed more than $3 billion in loans to date. Their creative financing expertise provides funding up to 75% loan-to- value, from $1 million ($3 million international) to more than $50 million in as little as five days.
