10/1/18

Today, CBRE announced the $34.25 million sale of One Harmon Plaza in Secaucus, New Jersey. A joint venture between Mountain Development Corp. and PCCP, LLC sold the property in an off-market transaction orchestrated by Samuel Bernhaut, Vice President of CBRE Advisory and Transaction Services, and Robert L’Abbate, First Vice President of CBRE Capital Markets.

The CBRE Debt & Structured Finance Services team of James F. Gunning and Donna Falzarano arranged financing on behalf of the buyer, private investor ZI One Harmon Plaza, LLC.

The sale was further assisted by Nick Savage of CBRE’s financial consulting and brokerage services. CBRE’s office leasing team of Robert Norton and Greg Barkan, as well as Neil Kurtz, Managing Director, Asset Services, and Eva DeForest, Director, were retained early in the sale process as advisors to ZI One Harmon Plaza, LLC in order to facilitate a seamless transition.

“By using the CBRE platform and leveraging relationships, we were able to identify and secure an exceptional, stabilized investment opportunity for our private investor,” said Mr. Bernhaut. “Our team looks forward to assisting the new ownership in building on the momentum created by Mountain Development and PCCP, LLC to maximize the potential of this one-of-a-kind asset.”

The partnership of Mountain Development Corp. and a fund managed by PCCP, LLC purchased the iconic glass cubed 192,089-sq.-ft. Class A office building in 2014 and subsequently made a significant, multi-million-dollar capital improvement investment. The building upgrades included reconstructing the three-story parking garage and renovating the lobby, as well as the addition of a new conference center, cafeteria and fitness facility. Over a four-year holding period, the joint venture nearly doubled the building’s occupancy to 95 percent at the time of the sale.
