Land Advisors Capital Expands into Texas, Facilitating Capital Investment Opportunities

Land Advisors Capital Expands into Texas, Facilitating Capital Investment Opportunities

News & Updates

 

Michael Zarola joins Land Advisors Capital to manage expansion of capital advisory services into Texas, bringing tools to help residential builders and developers seeking liquidity during the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 across the nation.

 

     SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (May 26, 2020) – Land Advisors Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Land Advisors Organization, announces the expansion of its capital advisory services with the addition of Michael Zarola, who will serve as its managing director in Land Advisors’ Austin office.

Zarola will lead the Land Advisors Capital team and its nationwide advisory services, including the introduction of various tools that can provide builders and developers liquidity, with examples such as a model home sale-leaseback; project and/or company level capitalization and consulting services; non-traditional loans on land; and development infrastructure investment funding.

A veteran fund manager with the capital markets, Zarola has been facilitating investment relationships between the capital market and residential builder/developers for more than 20 years. By serving as a capital market liaison, he advises on capital placement opportunities, asset management, origination, disposition as well as mergers and acquisitions, aligning both capital and development partners with short and long-term capital strategies.

Throughout his career, Zarola has experience in and has focused his efforts in many of the top homebuilding markets, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington. Prior to joining Land Advisors Capital, Zarola held a senior role with several major capital market fund managers and brings this combined experience to Land Advisors Capital’s expanding services and geographic regions.

“By expanding our capital advisory services with a presence in Texas, Land Advisors Capital will be well-positioned to facilitate new relationships between builders and developers with the capital markets during this critical time in our economy,” said Greg Vogel, founder and CEO of Land Advisors Organization. “We are already seeing a lot of interested from both the capital markets and home builders in Arizona, Texas and Florida in the tools that we’re bringing to help builders seeking liquidity to successfully navigate these challenging times, and be well-positioned to lead the economy out of the crisis.”

Tools Providing Builders and Developers with Liquidity:

     Model Home Sale Leaseback Program: Capital investors purchase a builder’s model homes, providing an immediate cash infusion for builder, then leases the homes back to the builder at an agreed upon NNN lease rate and utilizes them to market and sell production homes within each community.

     Non-Conventional Loans on Land: Builders/developers can access capital that is not readily available from conventional lenders for their land assets but is of interest to unique capital investment funds.

     Project Level Capitalization: Builders/Developers are looking to partner with capital groups on existing and new opportunities to enhance liquidity and diversify risk. A variety of unique capital solutions creates an alignment of interest between capital provider and sponsor.

     Infrastructure Investment Funding: Builder/developers that maintain large land positions with active development require significant infrastructure spending that can deplete a builder/developer’s liquidity. This new structure allows builder/developer to advance its infrastructure and move its project(s) forward to maintain a comfortable liquidity position.

Land Advisors Capital has been providing access to capital market financing for homebuilders and residential land developers since the last downturn in 2008. The firm’s capital services combine data-driven market analytics with an in-depth financial analysis and risk assessment of builders and developers.

The Capital team also prepares introductions to capital market financing opportunities with a comprehensive pitch deck, pro forma, sales and cost tracking, as well as deal negotiation and long-term relationship management services. For capital partners, the firm provides unique access to qualified niche builders and developers who offer diverse, risk-adjusted investment opportunities with an alignment of investment goals.

Phoenix West Commercial mirrors West Valley growth with expansion of its Avondale office   

Phoenix West Commercial mirrors West Valley growth with expansion of its Avondale office  

News & Updates

     AVONDALE, ARIZONA (May 19, 2020) – Looking to mirror the growth of the West Valley, Phoenix West Commercial, a full-service real estate brokerage firm in Avondale, is expanding as well.

“We know the West Valley better than anyone. With our relationships and knowledge, we can help others make connections and grow their commercial real estate business,” said Bobbie Mastracci, CCIM, SIOR, Designated Broker/Principal of Phoenix West Commercial.

Mastracci said leadership and mentoring are two pillars upon which her firm is built. It takes a leadership role as a company in the West Valley and she has personally focused on that submarket as her area of specialty since 2006.

Bobbie Mastracci

“We close deals all over the state and throughout the country in collaboration with other brokers,” Mastracci said. “We do close many deals outside of the West Valley, but that is where our leadership lies.”

Phoenix West Commercial professionals lease and sell office, retail, industrial and medical office properties. It also sells land. Mastracci said her goal is to have groups of three to four brokers in each property type. The company currently has eight professionals at its office at 125 S. Avondale, Blvd., Suite 100.

“I don’t want one sector to be the lead or be known as a particular sector brokerage,” she said. “If we started with a senior agent with experience that could then recruit junior agents to work under and with them, that would be ideal.”

Phoenix West Commercial offers professional amenities that include flexibility, a team environment, and a modern office with large conference room for client meetings. Advanced analysis tools for its agents include RealNex Market Edge.

“Our team of professionals recognize that our success is built on the growth and success of the clients we represent; not on any one transaction, but the cherished long-term relationship of trust and service with each of them,” said senior broker Bob Myers.

“We are looking for anyone who fits the requirements to which we prescribe including an entrepreneurial spirit and experience,” Mastracci said.

Providing mentorship to new brokerage professionals is key to a successful recruitment effort, Mastracci stressed. During her career she has mentored brokerage professionals who came from the residential side as well as those with little or no commercial real estate experience.

“With the changes we have in place offering more service and less fees, I think we will have better success in retention,” Mastracci said. “Commercial real estate is a full-time profession and one needs an entrepreneurial spirit to be a top producer or even succeed.”

Mastracci is an advocate for membership in the various industry groups. She has served twice as president of the Central Arizona CCIM Chapter; was CCIM Region II vice president overseeing and supporting 11 chapters for a two-year term; and is co-founder (in 2007) of the West Valley Commercial Real Estate Group.

“Company culture is what it’s all about,” Mastracci said. “We are given so much and are blessed to be in the position to give back not only to our profession but to our community; financially and volunteering time.”

About Phoenix Commercial West

Phoenix West Commercial LLC is a commercial real estate brokerage located in Avondale, Arizona. We have access to local, national, international deals, clients and properties. Phoenix West Commercial agents have true respect and encourage the communities’ evolution.

Mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers were treated to a parade, a “rolling buffet,” gifts and roses. LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak is an independent living, assisted living and memory care community with 116 residents at 23733 N. Scottsdale Road, in Scottsdale.

“It was a wonderful event not just for the resident but for the family members as well,” said Kelsey Conde, Director of Vibrant Living at LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak. “This is not what we originally planned, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed those plans. Still, we were all thrilled how it turned out.”

Kidder Mathews fully leases Cornerstone Medical Center with four diverse tenants in Goodyear, AZ

Kidder Mathews fully leases Cornerstone Medical Center with four diverse tenants in Goodyear, AZ

News & Updates

      PHOENIX, ARIZONA (May 12, 2020) – The Phoenix Kidder Mathews healthcare team represented the landlord in long-term leases at a repurposed Maytag appliance store in Goodyear that will be occupied by four diverse healthcare tenants.

The team of Senior Vice Presidents Michael Dupuy and Tyler Smith and Vice President Rachael Thompson negotiated the long-term lease on behalf of Whiteboard Development Company, LLC, Principal Colin Brown, a locally- and family-owned real estate office.

Kidder Mathews fully leased Cornerstone Medical Center, 13481 W. McDowell Road, just 14 months after its purchase. Tenants include Cigna, ResCare, Valley Sleep Center and the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD).

“The redevelopment vision for Cornerstone Medical Center was inspired by the concept of ‘connectivity,’” Brown said. “The Whiteboard objective was to create a distinctive project with energized and connected space to attract and inspire lead health and wellness companies committed to provide innovative healthcare services for Goodyear’s community as well as the entire West Valley.

“The vision, execution and positive community impact would not have been possible without the support and efforts of the City of Goodyear, project design and construction team, Kidder Mathews and local community partners,” Brown said.

Cornerstone Medical Center is an approximately 20,235 RSF building being repurposed for a medical use from a retail use. Exterior renovations include “reskinning” the building and a new window package. The stand-alone, former Maytag store sat empty for 18 months before Whiteboard Development purchased and partnered with the City of Goodyear to reconfigure it to accommodate healthcare use.

“Thank you to Whiteboard Development Company for its creative vision and adaptive reuse of a former retail building, which sits in the heart of the Goodyear Medical Innovation Corridor,” said Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord. “Kidder Mathews’ assistance also played a pivotal role in bringing first-class tenants to this facility, expanding the vast range of medical and healthcare services to our rapidly growing community. We look forward to more exciting opportunities this extraordinary partnership will bring in the near future.”

Cornerstone Medical Center also includes a tenant entry floating shade trellis and an updated comprehensive sign plan to best maximize tenant exposure as well as better direct patron traffic.

The asset is strategically located at the cornerstone of one of the West Valley’s fastest-growing communities. It offers a quick two-minute drive to the I-10 freeway, providing easy access to housing, entertainment and retail amenities.

“It was a pleasure working with Colin Brown and the City of Goodyear to get Cornerstone Medical Center fully leased,” Thompson said. “Even in our current climate, well-located and well-positioned healthcare product continues to be in demand.”

The Abrazo West Campus is located within walking distance and the project is not encumbered with any use restrictions.

The tenants were represented by Bryce Terveen, CBRE (Cigna and ResCare); Eric Campos, Benchmark Commercial (Valley Sleep Center); and Brian Forster, Pacific Partners Commercial (CARD).
