Private Equity Firm Seizes Local Economic Growth Opportunities, Adding A 177,000 Square Foot Office Building 15 Miles Off The Las Vegas Strip To Its Portfolio
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) March 26, 2018 -- Moonwater Capital has recently acquired Montecito Tower, a six-story high rise that sits comfortably along the I-215 Beltway, just west of the US-95 Highway in the rapidly expanding Northwest Las Vegas submarket. The Class-A office space projects superior visibility and maximum exposure as the only high-rise in the vicinity.
The emerging firm secured the $41 million capital package to acquire the office building with financing arranged by Dekel Capital, a Los Angeles-based Real Estate Merchant Bank.
