JLL represented the seller, America’s Capital Partners, and procured the buyer, Charlotte-based South Street Partners. The JLL Capital Markets team also arranged the four-year, floating-rate acquisition loan with Brookfield for the buyer. The team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Ryan Clutter, Senior Director Chris Lingerfelt and Director Zack Drozda. The team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Travis Anderson and Director Taylor Allison.

Clutter said in a prepared statement the deal demonstrates the investor appeal of the Charlotte office market, which has strong employment growth and leasing demand. Lingerfelt, also in prepared remarks, pointed to the Airport submarket and noted both the submarket and Coliseum Centre properties are poised for growth because of the underlying fundamentals in the area.

Last month, JLL’s Clutter represented Angelo Gordon, the owner of LakePoint Corporate Center 3 and 5, a 226,863-square-foot office campus in Charlotte, in the sale of the property to Bridge Office Fund Manager, a subsidiary of Bridge Investment Group. The office campus was also located in the Airport submarket.
