Avison Young Capital Markets Group Brokers $10M+ Class A Office Building
May 13, 2019Memphis, TN - Avison Young, the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, announced that it has negotiated the sale-leaseback of Green Mountain Technology’s 53,907-sf Class A office headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.
Avison Young’s Shane Soefker, Jacob Biddle, and Greg deWitt represented the seller, Trafalgar Village Investments, LLC. New York-based Royal Oak Realty Trust purchased the property for $10.05 million. The property is a single-tenant office building located in the 204-acre Ridgeway Center Master Planned Development in the heart of the East Memphis Business District at Poplar Avenue and Interstate 240. It has served as the corporate headquarters for Green Mountain Technology (GMT) since the firm purchased the property in 2014.
"We are seeing sustained demand for quality properties across product types and submarkets in the Memphis market," said Soefker. "This transaction was a true win-win for both parties involved as Green Mountain Technology leveraged the opportunity to monetize their headquarters assets and secured a long-term lease to continue to operate its headquarters facility. Royal Oak Realty Trust secured a rare opportunity to purchase a property within the premier office submarket in the Memphis MSA with a well-capitalized and respected tenant. The resulting transaction brought value to both the buyer and seller."
