Company Sells 2 Roswell Office Buildings

ROSWELL, GA — NKF Capital Markets has completed the sale of two office buildings located at 1544 Old Alabama Road and 900 Holcomb Woods Parkway in Roswell to RD Sharma.

Eva Horton, managing director at NKF Capital Markets, represented the seller, the world’s largest CMBS special servicer, LNR Partners LLC. Located on either side of Holcomb Woods Parkway, the office buildings offer easy access to Holcomb Bridge Road and Georgia 400 from Old Alabama Road.

The three-story, 70,000-square-foot building on Old Alabama Road sits on a 6.28-acre lot with two points of access and ample parking. McCalla Raymer Leibert Pierce LLC, a full service residential and commercial real estate legal services firm, occupies 100 percent of the building.

“With the recent renewal of the McCalla Raymer lease, this sale offered the perfect opportunity for an investor to purchase a stable, single-tenant office building in a strong Atlanta submarket, while benefiting from the value-add component of a smaller 20,000-square-foot building – a combination not often seen," Horton said.

The buyer, RD Sharma, recently sold the two-story, 20,000-square-foot building on Holcomb Woods Parkway to a corporate user. The move reflects the high demand for commercial space in the submarket, especially near the Georgia 400 corridor, which is experiencing massive growth.

According to NKF Research, Atlanta’s office investment sales experienced the second-highest mid-year total in five years, with a 6.7 percent rise in average price per square foot from the end of 2017. With a $13.6 million price tag, the two-property office portfolio equates to $151 per square foot, which is just below Atlanta’s mid-year average of $181 per square foot and well above the low of $30 per square foot.

“We are appreciative of our longtime partnership with the NKF Capital Markets team, and their strategic guidance through every step of the disposition,” said Mark Miller, senior vice president of LNR Partners LLC. “NKF Capital Markets exceeded our expectations in terms of quickly identifying the buyer and masterfully negotiating the sale.”
