Newmark Capital Markets and Northridge Capital, LLC announce the sale of CirclePoint Corporate Center at 11030 & 11080 Circle Point Road in Westminster.
Located along the Denver-Boulder US36 Corridor, CirclePoint Corporate Center is a trophy office campus comprising two contemporary, Class A buildings totaling 275,599 square feet. It was sold to City Office REIT (NYSE: CIO) on July 9, 2918, for $59,750,000. Newmark Capital Markets’ John Jugl, Jr. and Paul Donahue marketed CirclePoint Corporate Center exclusively on behalf of the seller, Northridge Capital, and represented them in the transaction.
“The Newmark sales team worked closely with the property manager to ensure we were able to go from contract execution to closing in five weeks, and Northridge Capital is pleased with the outcome of the sale of CirclePoint to City Office REIT,” commented Kevin Fay, vice president at Northridge Capital, LLC.
“CirclePoint Corporate Center is one of the most attractive office campuses in Northwest Denver and offers amazing views from its 4- and 5-story perspective,” commented Newmark Vice Chairman John Jugl, Jr. “After an influx of leasing velocity over the last 12 months, CirclePoint is currently 93.0% leased with more than seven years of weighted average lease term across both buildings - a formula very attractive to a new owner.” Additionally, CirclePoint offers additional upside potential in driving the in-place rents, which are currently below today’s rents being achieved at other Class A assets.
“The assets fundamentals, along with a strategic location with proximity to some of Colorado’s largest employment pools, including Broomfield, Westminster and Denver, were key attributes that drove interest,” added Jugl. “Tenants and companies have found this location ideal as it offers a wider employee base to pull from, which is especially important given the historically low 2.9% overall unemployment rate.”
In addition to providing exclusive marketing for the sale of CirclePoint Corporate Center, Newmark also handled the debt placement for the premier office campus sale, which was led by David Milestone of Newmark’s Los Angeles office. CirclePoint’s leasing services were handled by Dan Beer at Cushman & Wakefield; property management services were provided by JLL. Northridge Capital has worked closely with the leasing team to generate over 115,000 square feet of new leases at the property in the past 18 months, led by the Epsilon’s decision to make CirclePoint its Denver headquarters with its 69,697 SF square foot lease.
