NGKF Capital Markets announces the $80 million sale of Lincoln Place, a single tenant office headquarters located at 1601 Washington Avenue, in South Beach. This transaction serves as another prime example of the success of NGKF’s integrated services platform, with the Capital Markets and tenant representation teams working collectively.
NGKF Capital Markets’ Executive Managing Director Michael Lapointe, Managing Director Michael Lohmann, and tenant representative Associate Director Clay Sidner, represented the buyer, NG 1601 Washington Ave, LLC. Chris Lee, of CBRE, represented the seller, Cousins Properties Inc., an Atlanta-based real estate investment trust, in the transaction.
“This transaction reflects the consistent demand for core assets within Miami Beach with long-term redevelopment value,” said Lapointe. “Over the past 18 months, our buyer was able to achieve an excellent value by working through this complex transaction including a ground lease with the City of Miami Beach.”
The eight-story, Class A building features over 110,000-square-feet of office space, 30,000-square-feet of retail space, 500-car parking garage and access to a hotel, shops and restaurants along Lincoln Road. The property is currently single tenant leased to LNR Partners as part of a sale leaseback they completed in 2006.
