Louis Rogers, president, Triple Net Properties, didn't disclose the closing price in a prepared statement. However, area brokers familiar with the Maitland Center submarket, tell GlobeSt.com they are confident the building at 485 N. Keller Rd. didn't go for less than the current average $150-per-sf replacement cost of a comparable class A asset.

Chris Rooney, in charge of acquisitions for Triple Net, tells GlobeSt.com the acquisition was made for 35 tenant-in-common investors. Rooney says the average asking base rent will be about $13 per sf, triple net. "This will be contingent upon individual space, tenant improvement, allowances" and other factors, Rooney says. There were numerous bidders for the property, he adds.

Financing for the acquisition was provided by LaSalle Bank of Chicago and arrange by Eric Tupler of LJ Melody. Christopher Casey of Secured Capital Corp. represented Opus.

Rogers says Triple Net Properties manages a portfolio of 23.8 million sf of commercial properties and 1.6 million sf of multifamily assets with a combined market value of over $2.8 billion. "Triple Net's size and flexibility allow us to seize opportunities that our larger, institutional competitors miss," Rogers says in his statement.
