Los Angeles-based Hackman Capital, a privately held real estate investment firm, announced Wednesday that it has recapped the National Industrial Portfolio. The financing is part of a partnership between OCM NIP JV Holdings L.P., an indirect subsidiary of certain investments funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P., and the portfolio’s original owners, a joint venture formed by Hackman Capital, Calare Properties, and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust. Terms of the recapitalization were not released.
PRESS RELEASE
Hackman Capital, a privately-held real estate investment firm, announced today the successful recapitalization of the National Industrial Portfolio. The recapitalization is the result of a new partnership struck between OCM NIP JV Holdings, L.P., an indirect subsidiary of certain investments funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., and the portfolio’s original owners, a joint venture formed among entities controlled by Hackman Capital, Calare Properties, Inc, and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust (KBS REIT 1). The National Industrial Portfolio, originally acquired in August 2007, includes 26 industrial properties with more than 11 million square feet of net rentable space.
The bulk of the properties are located in key New England distribution markets, but the portfolio also includes properties in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Texas. Hackman Capital and Calare Properties will continue to manage the portfolio.
“We are strongly committed to building the portfolio’s value,” said John Brady, Global Head of Real Estate for Oaktree. “Capital will be infused to fund building improvements, including several exciting redevelopment projects, which will enhance our leasing efforts across the portfolio.”
In spite of a sluggish economy, the National Industrial Portfolio benefited from more than 2.6 million square feet of new and renewal leases executed in 2011. Among the portfolio’s current tenants are Lego, Home Depot, Staples, Coca-Cola, Kraft, Regency Transportation, Nanocomp Technologies, Regal Services, USPS and Macy’s.
“We are thrilled with the recent tenant activity in the portfolio,” said Michael Hackman, CEO of Hackman Capital. “We plan to continue leasing the properties aggressively across the country, and redevelopments currently underway in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Texas will further enhance our product offering.”
