(PRWEB) May 27, 2005 -- The Hampshire Companies, a full service, private real estate investment fund manager with equity in assets valued at over $1 billion, today announced the acquisition of 8 Sylvan Way in Parsippany, NJ, a 3-story, 97,000 square foot headquarters-quality office building on 15 acres within New Jerseys premier suburban office market. The acquisition, valued at approximately $7.6 million, was made through Hampshire Partners Fund VI, a commingled, discretionary value-added real estate investment fund managed by Hampshire.
8 Sylvan Way is strategically and conveniently located just off of Interstate 287, two miles south of I-80, and bordered by US Route 202 and NJ Route 10. It is presently the home of The Chubb Institute, a computer training academy.
We became aware of this opportunity through a long-term relationship we have with the buildings previous owner, who was an investor with Hampshire in other transactions, and who wanted to sell the leasehold," said Norman A. Feinstein, Executive Vice President of the Hampshire Companies. At the same time, we became aware of Chubbs desire to sell the land as excess real estate inventory, allowing us to put together a transaction that benefited all principals, and should provide a substantial upside for our investors."
Our vision is to significantly modernize the propertys appearance and reposition it in the marketplace as a single tenant headquarters or operations facility," added Feinstein. We are actively seeking out well-located facilities such as this one that are attractive to, or currently under lease to, investment-grade tenants, with the goal of adding value so that our investors realize significant returns."

With this acquisition, Hampshire Partners Fund VI is now roughly 43% invested," said Feinstein, who noted that, with the target leverage set at 60% to 65%, the Fund has targeted an additional $300 million of acquisitions over the next 24 months.
We remain in an extremely competitive position relative to our competitors, in that we have discretionary capital at our fingertips that allows us to quickly commit and close on opportunistic real estate investments in our core markets," continued Feinstein.
