Colliers International Sells a Portfolio of Five CVS Assets in Ohio and Pennsylvania

-

December 22, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Colliers International, the third largest global real estate services organization, has completed a portfolio of five CVS assets totaling 52,416 square feet and $11 million in transaction values.

Tom Lagos, Director of Retail Services Group; Shawn Bakke, Senior Vice President; and El Warner, Associate Vice President, all based in Colliers’ Downtown Los Angeles office, represented the Seller, a private investor out of Ohio and the Buyer, Cole Real Estate Investments of Phoenix, AZ.

“In order to maximize value for the Seller we developed a strategy of segregating the properties into separate pools so that each pool would appeal to a separate buyer class,” said Lagos.

“We successfully negotiated a favorable payoff for each of the attached loans despite the contractual yield maintenance costs and this resulted in increased proceeds for the Seller,” added Warner.

“This is a high quality acquisition for Cole as each of the five CVS stores are well located within their respective trade areas and have a history of strong sales performance,” said Brian Garrigan, Director of Acquisitions at Cole Real Estate Investments.
