HATHAM, NJ — Cas- sidyTurley announces three industrial truck

Licht continued, “It has been a pleasure to work together with Jim Petrucci and Greg Rogerson to complete the hat trick sale of these three properties. JG Petrucci and my sellers, L & L Properties, were the perfect pairing of parties to work together with toward this result. I am grateful to be involved in these transactions which will yield the second phase of a first class multi- use redevelopment project for the residents of Warminster Township.” Licht, Senior vice president at NAI Mertz, was recognized as Broker of the Year by JG Petrucci via receipt of their “2013 Leadership Award”. JG Petrucci principal, Greg Rogerson commented, “Trans- acting business with Jeff is always professional and his upbeat personality makes it fun too. He is always positive and prides himself on creat- ing ‘win-win’ scenarios. It’s difficult not to become a new friend of Jeff ’s if afforded the opportunity to transact busi- ness together.” ■ from Old Dominion Freight Line. The Cassidy Turley team of Casey, Ritter-Ceriello, Oare and Orman represented the buyer and the seller. The 59- door truck terminal is set on 10 acres with access to I-95 and I-195. The team helped Old Dominion dispose of sur- plus property while securing a facility for a long-time client to enter into the market. A. Duie Pyle Inc., plans to renovate and occupy the facility to meet its current transportation and warehousing needs. At 541 Hollow Rd. in Phoe- nixville, PA, Casey and Ritter- Ceriello worked with Matthew Collins of M. M. Collins Real Estate to represent the seller, Realterm NAT, and the buyer, Pitt Ohio Express, in the sale of the 66-door truck terminal on 20.3 acres. ■

terminal sales inMaryland and Pennsylvania totaling in excess of $12 million. Cassidy Turley team members in the New Jer- sey and Baltimore offices repre- sented the buyers and sellers in the transactions. The team was comprised of Larry Casey , senior vice president, principal; JonathanCarpenter , manag- ing director, principal; Robert Oare , senior vice president, principal; Andrew Houston , vice president; Alan Orman , vice president and Robin Rit- ter-Ceriello , associate. Casey led the team of Carpen- ter, Houston and Ritter-Ceriello to negotiate the sale of 6351 South Hanover Rd. in Elkridge, MD, serving as representatives for the owner, A. Duie Pyle Inc.,

and the buyer, Gramercy Prop- erty Trust. A. Duie Pyle Inc. initially bought the property as an investment and leased it back to New Penn Motor Express, which will continue to occupy the space. The terminal at 6351 South Hanover Rd. has 61-dock doors on 10.5 acres

located between Interstate 95 and I-195. The team leveraged its market expertise by mon- etizing an investment property to expand the buyer’s portfolio into a new region. In a second transaction, A. Duie Pyle Inc. purchased 7070 Brookdale Dr. in Elkridge, MD,

WARMINSTER , PA — NAI Mertz announced the sale of 65 Steamboat Dr. in Warmin- ster to JGPetrucci . The team of Jeffrey Licht and Adam Lashner were responsible for the marketing of this asset. 65 Steamboat is a 110,000 s/f hi-tech industrial facility on 7+ acres.

power, 15-24’ ceiling height, 12 tailgate doors and 1 over-sized drive-in door. The building has been prepared for multi- tenancy and NAI Mertz has already leased 65,000 s/f to IWCO. Licht and Lashner now seek to lease out the remain- der 45,000 s/f. Licht was the point man for this project and worked together with seller, L & L Properties , and JG Petrucci to realize this second transac- tion between same parties as last year Licht sold 375 Jack- sonville, a 67,000 s/f first class warehouse distribution center

on 10 acres. “JG Petrucci was the natural buyer of these two properties as a direct result of their well deserved success at Station at Bucks County”, said Licht. Station at Bucks County rep- resents the redevelopment of the former Drager Medical property into a luxury unit residential transit community. The recent property purchases are located directly across the street and contiguous to each other to ensure Bucks Sta- tion Phase 2 and maybe even Phase 3, if deemed appropriate at some point in the future.

By Neil Stein The Supreme Court Helps Private Property Owners (At Least For Now)

rivate property own- ers requesting courts to intervene in land use

cases, rarely obtain a favorable outcome when raising constitu- tional claims. Although there have been exceptions. Nollan and Dolan (short titles) were U.S. Supreme Court cases that established that the govern- ment cannot make unreason- able demands as a condition for a permit. Such demands must be both related to the impact of the proposed development and roughly proportional to the expected harm caused by the development. Simply put, a permit application is not al- ways a justifiable opportunity for the government to engage in extortion. On June 25, 2013, in a sig- nificant victory for landowners, the Supreme Court held that the government’s demand for property from a land use ap- plicant must satisfy the Nollan and Dolan requirements even when it denies the permit. In St. Johns River Wa-

ter Management District v. Koontz, the Supreme Court was asked to decide (1) whether Nollan and Dolan protections apply to government permit conditions demanding money or other property (and not just real property); and (2) whether a permit application must be granted in order for Nollan and Dolan to apply to such demands. Koontz owned and sought to develop a small portion of wetland impacted land. To do so, he needed a permit from the Management District and offered to impose a conservation easement on most of the property and to

continued on page 26A The Supreme Court held that under the unconstitutional conditions doctrine, which pre- vents government from coerc- ing people to give up their con- stitutional rights, courts cannot distinguish between approving a permit on a condition and conduct mitigation studies. The District thought these were insufficient concessions and directed Koontz to perform mitigation on a large parcel of land, located elsewhere in the watershed, which he did not own. Koontz refused and the permit application was denied.

M id A tlantic R eal E state J ournal By Stan Freeman, Exchange Strategies Corporation The Optimal Exchange Strategy – Transaction Timing Control

T

his is the first in a series of articles on the sub- ject of optimizing 1031

kets for multi-family hous- ing and triple-net properties, for example, are intensively competitive and significant cap-rate compression is nor- mal in these locations. With the likely continuation of low interest rates for (near-) cash investments and the attractive arbitrage between CAP rates and the cost of leverage, this type of competition and pres- sure is not expected to abate in the near-term. If you are contemplating a 1031 exchange in order to achieve an investment objec- tive, this market - favoring sellers to an unusual extent

- must be navigated carefully in order to achieve your in- vestment goals and keep your capital continuously deployed, that is, defer the tax on the gain from the sale. Hence, the first aspect of optimizing a 1031 exchange that I describe is “transaction control” and relates to the timing of the acquisition of the Replace- ment (or “New”) Property in an exchange. Here is the danger: if you start a “forward” or “delayed” 1031 exchange, you’ll likely be able to sell what you are plan- ning to exchange with rela- continued on page 26A

exchanges in today’s CRE marketplace. Th i s t op i c should be of keen interest to real estate owners and investors as well as the

Stan Freeman

brokerage, legal and account- ing communities that assist them. Most experienced CRE professionals have some ex- perience with 1031 exchanges but many do not appreciate the full range of sound options that are available. In challenging market conditions, it makes sense to understand and use all of the available tools to help ensure success and reduce risk. The first set of articles will address optimizing in terms of transaction timing and control, return on investment and the integration of 1031 exchange with lending and cost segrega- tion. The second set of articles will describe several popular and effective 1031 strategies for increasing tax deferment potential in today’s CREworld. Our thoughts are informed by information gathered at scores of meetings with investors and CRE professionals all over the country. We promise to keep the discussion pithy (not too much detail) and avoid ir- relevance (e.g. vacation home exchanges). Any reader who wishes to discuss any topic in more detail or to jump forward to a topic of interest is encour- aged to contact me as indicated elsewhere in this publication. The term “optimization” means getting maximal benefit – strategically and financially - from an exchange for you, the person or entity doing the ex- change. This implies that the form of the exchange used (for- ward or reverse) is determined only by what is best for you and not what is best for your QI. As simple as this may seem, it is often an approach that is not encouraged by QIs. In today’s CREmarket, there is a consistent and sometimes overwhelming shortage of high-quality property for sale. The market is strongly aligned in favor of sellers. This short- age is perhaps most acute in the segment consisting of investment-grade, income- producing assets. The primary and secondary regional mar-

NorthMarq’s Washington, DC regional office, arranged first mortgage refinancing of $3.32 million for Churchill Business Center located at 13210-13220 Wisteria Dr. in Germantown. The property is an attractive, well maintained, 100% leased, 39,917 s/f industrial facility in very good location. Selvadurai Palanivelu, Autobody Connec- tion and Sherwin Williams are major tenants at the site. Financing was based on a 25- year term and a 20-year amor- tization schedule.

The property was sold to the Republic of India for $5,750,000, or $467 psf, based on the total build- ing size of 12,325 s/f, which includes two stories plus a small lower level. Rock Creek first acquired the property in December 2010. “The property’s location and special attributes are without equal in this corridor,” said Rock Creek’s Gary Schlager , one of the firm’s principals. “Large, efficient floors sizes, exposed brick, and 10-20 foot ceilings are rare and really differentiated this opportu- nity in the market. We are just thrilled to see the property find the perfect fit in its new owner, the Republic of India, who will invest the requisite capital for its own use and to the benefit of the surrounding, growing community.” 1438 U Street, NW was

Greater Newark Economic Development Partnership Greater Newark: It All Adds Up

H

ave you ever been to Newark, DE? If not, you’ve certainly heard

secured co-generation plant. It will also bring thousands of construction jobs during a three- year construction timeline, and nearly 300 full-time and 50 part- time jobs during operation. Central to wherever you want or need to be in Delmarva, the Greater Newark Area has a great story to tell: It all adds up for businesses and residents alike. With convenient access to road, rail, air and sea trans- portation, businesses will be positioned in the heart of the 35 million people of the NY- Philadelphia-DC megalopolis, in a family-friendly, affordable setting. n

of or read about Vice President Joe Biden, NJ Gov. Chris Chris- tie, Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco or WNBA All-Star Elena Delle Donne. What do they have in common? They all attended the University of Delaware, the flagship of higher education in Delaware, located in bustling downtown Newark. But local leaders isn’t all Newark has to offer! Global leaders such as Air Liquide, AstraZeneca, Chris- tiana Care, DOW Chemical, DuPont, W.L. Gore, FMC, GE Aviation and Siemens Health- care Diagnostics have chosen to locate in the Greater Newark Area because of its strategic location in the Mid-Atlantic near Interstate 95, its highly educated workforce, its proxim- ity to a top research university and its responsive local govern- ment—as well as a quality of life that’s affordable, fun and family-friendly. The advantages to setting up shop in Newark are a result of a concerted effort of the univer- sity, the local government and the business community to move Newark into a new era. When DaimlerChrysler closed its auto- mobile plant in Newark in 2008, the loss was felt throughout the community. During the height of its productivity, Chrysler had employed 5,500 full-time employees. For a town of ap- proximately 32,000 people, the plant’s loss was dramatic—but it also fueled a real renaissance of Greater Newark. Looking to the future, the University of Delaware pur- chased the 272-acre Chrysler site in 2009, rebranding it as the Science Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus—an investment in innovation, research and aca- demia—to create space for labs, health-science initiatives, housing, retail, offices and tran- sit space. Its first occupant, Bloom Energy, recently opened its East Coast operations at STAR Campus. The company manufactures Bloom Energy Servers—also known as a Bloom Box—an innovative distributor power generator that produces clean, reliable and affordable electricity. The university has also inked a deal to bring The Data Centers, LLC, to STAR Campus. The $1.1 billion project includes construction of a man- aged data facility with its own

31,505 s/f medical office building in Hamilton Township, New Jersey

NEW JERSEY — Janet Proscia and David Turley of Cronheim Mortgage ar- ranged mortgage financing totaling $13.865 million for three NJ medical office proper- ties. “Lenders like the supply/ demand characteristics of the NJ medical office market,” said Turley. “Medical practices have a low failure rate and build their business around a specif- ic location, which makes them sticky tenants. We capitalized on the asset class’s appeal to complete several medical office assignments.” Cronheim sourced a $3 mil- lion permanent loan for several owner-occupied medical office condos in Fair Lawn totaling about 12,200 s/f. Proscia noted that the borrower’s previous efforts to finance the property had failed due to property val- uation issues. “We were able to secure a bank willing to lean into a leveraged office condo loan. The financing allowed the borrower to cash out some of his value creation and unlock ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ — Procida Funding’s 100 Mile Mile Fund has made a $1.75 million bridge loan secured by a 38,186 s/f office building.

The building will be completely renovated to house a cancer center and support- ing medical offices. Cronheim worked with a regional bank to complete the financing. Turley said, “Strong sponsorship and an equity stake by St. Peter’s Hospital in the cancer center tenant helped overcome con- cerns around the high price/val- uation PSF and untested nature of the property’s anchors.” Cronheim secured a $7.4 million, 5-year permanent loan from a New Jersey bank for a 31,505 s/f medical office build- ing in Hamilton Twp. “This was a leverage-driven transaction,” said Proscia. “We secured an 80% LTV financing offer and were able to negotiate the rate when the appraised value supported a 74% LTV.” n “Procida provided the reli- able execution and flexibility required by the borrower,” said Kyle Funsch , principal of Procida Funding. “Our abil- ity to meet the needs of our borrower in a timely manner allows them to move fast and take advantage of the favor- able opportunity.” n

By Pamela A. Michaels, Esq. and Scott Saunders, Asset Preservation, Inc. Substantiating intent in a § 1031 Exchange

A

taxpayer’s intent to hold both the relin- quished property and

substantiating the investment intent is the responsibility of the taxpayer and the items be- low are not an exhaustive list but provide useful indicators in determining the taxpayer’s intent. • The purpose for which the property was initially ac- quired. • The purpose for which the property was subsequently held. • The purpose for which the property was being held at the time of sale. • The extent of advertising, promotion of other active efforts

used in soliciting buy- ers for the sale of the property. • The listing of property with brokers • The extent to which im- provements, if any, were made to the property. • The frequency, number and continuity of sales .• The extent and nature of the transaction. • The ordinary course of busi- ness of the taxpayer. Real estate held as “stock in trade or other property primarily for sale” is excluded from the tax deferral benefits of IRC Section 1031. Stock in

trade describes property which is included in the inventory of a dealer and is held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. The gain on the sale of this property is taxed as ordinary income. A 2010 Tax Court case il- lustrates the consequences of failing to substantiate invest- ment intent. In Goolsby v. Commissioner (April 1, 2010); T.C. Memo. 2010-64, taxpay- ers exchanged a relinquished property in California for two replacement properties located in Georgia. Two months after the exchange was completed, the taxpayers moved into one of the replacement properties (the Pebble Beach property) and used it as their personal residence. The IRS took the position that the Pebble Beach residence was not acquired with the requisite intent to hold for investment and failed to qualify as replacement property within the meaning of Section 1031(a). The Tax Court rejected the taxpayers’ argument that cer- tain other facts demonstrated that they intended to rent the property when they acquired it and decided later to move into the property. As a result, the taxpayers were liable for the capital gain taxes allocable to that portion of their exchange and also for an accuracy related penalty for understatement of tax. In rejecting the taxpayers’ argument, the Tax Court found that the Goolsbys: -conditioned the purchase of the Pebble Beach property on the sale of their former primary residence in California; -asked their qualified inter- mediary (QI) about converting an investment property into a residence before the exchange was completed; -failed to research whether the covenants of the homeown- er’s association would permit the Pebble Beach property to be used as a rental and generally did little research on the rental market; -placed a rental advertise- ment in a small neighborhood newspaper for only two months and made no other efforts to rent the property; -began preparations to fin- ish the basement of the Pebble Beach property within two weeks after purchasing the property.

Amsel originates and arranges loan Eastern Union Funding arranges $. million for flagged hotel in monroeville, PA

M

OnROEViLLE, PA — Eastern Union Funding has nego-

arranged by moti Amsel , a director based out of Eastern Union’s Howell office. A 187 room hotel located in Monroeville, the property is centrally located in a very busy retail area adjacent to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The property had recently undergone extensive renova- tions, with the remaining renovations to be completed by the buyer. Due to a TOE closing, the borrower required a lender who could close within 45 days, and would lend PIP funds to finish the remaining

renovations needed. Amsel was able to quickly place the deal with a Wall Street lender who was comfortable with the borrower ’s experience and track record, along with the property’s location and strong historical performance. The lender provided a fixed rate loan at 75% Loan-to-Cost for the purchase of the property, over a two year term. The pro- cess was smooth and the loan closed within the timeframe required by the TOE. The bor- rower is projecting a 10% to 15% increase in revenue after renovations are completed. n

The loan was originated and continued from page 12A Substantiating intent in a § . . . or after the exchange are fair game for the IRS, even the taxpayer’s discussions with a qualified intermediary. In a 2012 Tax Court case, Re- esink v. Commissioner, (April 23, 2012) T.C. Memo 2012-118, husband and wife purchased a residential house as a replace- ment property with the intent to rent the property. Unfor- tunately, the Reesinks were unable to find a tenant and obtain the rent they wanted, so they decided to sell their current residence and move into the rental home that they acquired in the 1031 exchange. They moved into the rental home only 8 months after it was purchased in a tax deferred ex- change. Nevertheless, the Tax Court found that the Reesinks intended to hold the rental property as an investment at the time they engaged in the 1031 exchange. In deciding the case for the taxpayer, the Tax Court dis- tinguished Goolsby v. Com- missioner, (April 1, 2010); T.C. Memo 2010-64, a case in which a series of factors established that the taxpayers intended to use the replacement prop- erty as a residence following a 1031 exchange. The Tax Court found the following evidence persuasive: • The Reesinks placed many rental flyers throughout the town advertising the house as available for rent; • The Reesinks showed the house to two different potential tenants; • The taxpayers refrained from using the property for recreational use prior to moving into the property; • The Reesinks decided to sell their personal residence almost 6 months after purchasing the replacement property; • The Reesinks waited over 8 months after acquiring the property to move in. The Reesinks also presented corroborative testimony sup- porting the foregoing facts. Like Goolsby, the Reesi- nk case shows the need for continued on page 1A
