NKF Capital Markets is pleased to announce that Executive Managing Director Kevin Welsh, Managing Director Brian Schulz and Associate Chuck Kohaut of the Tri-State Capital Markets Team in conjunction with Steven Schultz, Executive Managing Director Capital Markets and David Simson, Vice Chairman & COO of NKF’s New Jersey operations, represented Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation and Ivy Realty in the sale of Morris Corporate Center IV (MCC IV), located at 369-379 Interpace Parkway in Parsippany, New Jersey. The Team was also responsible for procuring the buyer, a joint venture between Rubenstein Partners and Vision Real Estate Partners (VREP).
MCC IV is one of Morris County’s premier office properties comprises two, five-story trophy office buildings totaling 350,917 square feet connected by a signature, four-story glass atrium lobby. The Building is further distinguished by its regional location at the four-way I-80/I-287 Interchange in Parsippany (Exit 42B), with a number of nearby mixed-use developments and new national retailers creating a dynamic amenity base that today’s tenants demand.
“The Property’s value-add investment profile was an ideal fit for Rubenstein Partners and VREP, who have successfully executed a number of prominent value-add transactions in Morris County. MCC IV’s trophy-quality market position, highlighted by its timeless architecture and highly efficient center core floorplates with horizontal and vertical leasing flexibility, were appealing to the joint venture, which is well positioned to execute an aggressive leasing campaign and create substantial long-term value,” said Welsh. “We are pleased that we were able to navigate the complexities of this transaction and maximize sale proceeds on behalf of Intercontinental and Ivy.”
“These are exciting times for the growth of our Tri-State Capital Markets Team,” Simson added. “The team has executed several assignments on behalf of prominent institutional clients in just six months since joining the firm. We are looking forward to the continued growth of the team as they further establish themselves as a market leader.”
