Dade County, Florida (Oct 08) – Regional Capital Group, a Direct Commercial Real Estate Lender and Investor announces the acquisition of a controlling interest in a 193,000 square-foot office complex in Northern Miami. RCG originally provided preferred equity for the acquisition of the site one year ago. Recently the managing member had liquidity issues unrelated to RCG’s asset, which made it necessary to sell their interest in the project. RCG promptly purchased the managing member’s interest in the project and immediately introduced a new management team to the property.
RCG faced many challenges during this process, which ultimately resulted in the engaging of a maintenance and construction company to address the deferred maintenance issues. RCG has increased their investment in the property to in excess of $12 million which includes an additional $1million towards improving the condition of the property. Throughout this process, the site has maintained an average occupancy of above 90%. RCG’s ongoing analysis and involvement in the project allowed them to proactively approach the managing member, propose an appropriate buy-out solution, and ultimately bring in another property manager -- which has resulted in a reposition of the office complex from a Class “C” space to a high-level “Class B” property. RCG’s utilized their analysis and asset management skills to improve the value of the investment and asset. The actions that RCG took have improved the occupancy of the project and attracted tenants at higher rents.
