Hackman Capital Partners Enters Chicago Real Estate Market
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 13, 2016 -- Hackman Capital Partners, LLC, a Los-Angeles-based real estate investment firm with ties to the Midwest, confirmed today the purchase of a 906,984-square-foot industrial real estate portfolio. The portfolio contains six buildings located throughout metro Chicago with concentrations near O’Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport. The properties were purchased by a Hackman Capital affiliate.
The buildings, five of which are multi-tenant buildings, are 89% occupied.
“We’re thrilled to be entering the Chicago market,” said Michael Hackman, Hackman Capital’s founder and CEO. “The acquisition gives us opportunity to boost our strong Midwest presence in one of the largest and most dynamic industrial markets in the country.”
With the recent Chicago acquisition, Hackman Capital’s Midwest presence represents approximately seven-million square feet of the 25-million-square-foot portfolio owned by its various affiliates. The bulk of those Midwest properties are located in Ohio and Michigan, which totals 68 buildings, with 255 tenant spaces. The company manages the Midwest properties from its regional office in Columbus, Ohio.
“These are solid buildings with committed tenants in strong infill locations,” said Managing Director David Smith, who oversees the Columbus office. “Offering abundant loading and parking, good clear heights, ample offices and other amenities, the properties will continue to be strong competitors in their respective submarkets.”
According to Smith, the company plans to make any necessary capital improvements to lease up the 11% vacancy across two of the six buildings. To help market the available space, Hackman Capital has retained Pete Roberson and Larry Johnson of CBRE and Kenneth Franzese of Lee & Associates. Colliers International has been retained as the property management group.
Hackman Capital extends special recognition to Michael Caprile, Ted Staszak and Stephanife Park of CBRE who represented the seller in the acquisition.
