    See’s Candies is the gold standard for longevity and enduring success in America, having navigated many economic cycles throughout its 100+ year history. Once an old bank building, See’s beautifully transformed the site into a brand showcase and jewel box store. This closing was a significant achievement; at a below market cap rate, our deep understanding of the company’s legacy and thorough analysis of the building’s value and surrounding area allowed us to confidently affirm the tenant’s strength and successfully close the deal. Key Takeaways: Good grasp of TIs : By partnering closely with Carol Therien, See’s Candies’ leasing broker, we gained invaluable insights into the property. This partnership allowed us to see ‘under the hood’ and understand the enhancements See’s made in their tenant improvements, particularly the very expensive food-grade lower-level improvements and stunning interior buildouts. These insights enabled us to accurately highlight the building’s inconspicuous value and market it to the right buyer pool. Real Time Market Data: The rental rate always felt light on this deal. We did a real-time rent survey and revealed that the building was leased at a rate significantly below where leases were getting executed in the adjacent center.  This information bootstrapped long term upside, allowing us to achieve a below market cap rate for the seller. Strategic Timing: Our team expertly navigated a big challenge that could have jeopardized the deal in its final stages. Through careful timing and precise management, we not only resolved the issue but also strengthened the buyer’s commitment, ensuring a successful closing.

    Monarch Commercial Advisors successfully closed escrow on a Rite Aid within a larger shopping center in Maywood, CA. Despite the retail sector outperforming other major real estate categories, some retailers have faced significant challenges, with Rite Aid's bankruptcy being a prominent example. Nevertheless, our team skillfully navigated the complexities of the situation, facilitating an off-market sale of this Los Angeles Rite Aid to an all-cash 1031 buyer during the bankruptcy proceedings. Key Takeaways: Relationship Longevity: The property was bought by a broker buddy that I worked on a deal with back in 2006 when we were both at Marcus. We have stayed in touch over the years and it was great to match him up with this deal.   Smart Bankruptcy Strategy: Rite Aid came to my seller early in the bankruptcy process and asked for a big haircut on the rent. We stood firm because the store's sales are high volume, even though it had seen a decline in upkeep in recent years. Rite Aid kept the lease through the bankruptcy proceedings and we were able to fortify value. Felt like a game of Texas Hold 'Em the whole time.    Deep Rolodex: We called on additional resources outside of our real estate relationships to navigate our decisions to hold the lease and ultimately sell. We talked to bond traders, bankruptcy attorneys, and investment bankers to get real time information that led us to our decisions.   Bankruptcy certainly changes the valuation on a retail asset. In some cases, it can unlock value, as it did in this deal

    Excited to share that our team members, Lauren C. and Kendall Finnegan, had an amazing experience at the CREW East Bay event on AI last week. We were thrilled to support our friends, Rachel Kram, who expertly moderated the discussion, and Katelin Young, who delivered an insightful presentation. As Kendall's first CREW event, it was an incredible opportunity to explore the transformative potential of AI in commercial real estate, and catch up with some old colleagues. We're eager to apply these new insights to drive innovation in our business and are excited for the many compelling CREW events lined up this fall!

    Another great team effort by the Monarch Commercial Advisors team. Brandon Norton and I closed all-cash prior to construction commencement with a non-contingent lease to a cannabis tenant, and escrow was under 30 days. Key takeaways: · Direct Access to the Tenant: Working with STIIIZY was awesome. Buyers are naturally more analytical on cannabis tenants. Stiiizy was accessible and accommodating in answering and addressing questions around the licensing and construction process. If you are a landlord considering a cannabis tenant, Stiiizy, one of the largest cannabis companies in the country, is the most professional we have dealt with, and I would highly recommend them as a lessee. · Stay Ready: At 4:45 on the day before we were set to close, the existing insurance company backed out over an 'oversight' of a missing photo of an electrical panel. The following morning, Valerie Taylor (National Cannabis Practice Leader) came through with another insurance policy in place; no easy feat on a vacant, pre-construction cannabis leased asset. Lauren C. took a very proactive approach in securing multiple quotes up front and was able to pivot at the last minute. · Hundred Rooftops Buyer: Our direct buyer owned in Madera, had capital to place, and was very educated on the retail cannabis space. Our platform was able to locate this buyer through our multi-level marketing efforts and effectively demonstrate the property’s desirable qualities to the buyer and market.
