Avanti Holdings announced their latest development in Alexandria. Madison Collective will open this summer. Located in the heart of Parker-Gray neighborhood at 1008 Madison Street, just off N. Henry Street, Madison Collective will be home to Chop Shop Taco, Marlowe Ink, The Waiting Room, Grateful Kitchen Co, and Zweet Sport.

Born and raised in Alexandria, Avanti principal Teddy Kim has long dreamt of bringing locally owned businesses to the neighborhoods surrounding King Street. Once a partner in, and an instrumental part of opening, Mason Social, Kim hopes to serve the growing community of Parker-Gray. Formerly a used car lot and automobile chop shop, the space where Madison Collective now sits will be put to good use.

Chop Shop Taco
A partnership between Avanti Holdings, Kris Garcia and Chef Ed McIntosh of Tortilladora, Chop Shop Taco will offer an ever rotating menu of tacos, tortas and snacks influenced by the season, childhood nostalgia and community. Chef McIntosh plans to use premium ingredients and “off the spit” chopped meats including Al Pastor, Chicken, Pork Belly and Brisket, all in a casual setting. Converted from an actual automobile chop shop, the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner.

Marlowe Ink and The Waiting Room
With an artistic atmosphere and high energy tattooing, Marlowe Ink at Madison Collective is the newest location belonging to beloved tattooer, James Marlowe. Marlowe has been tattooing for approximately 30 years, having opened his first location, Marlowe Ink, in Fairfax, VA 15 years ago. The new Alexandria location will be the home base of tattooers Danny Zelsman and Jen White, with guest spots from Hayden Zelsman, Anya Gladun, Phil Watkins, and many out of town names.

The Waiting Room is a neighborhood gathering space in the middle of Madison Collective, below Marlowe Ink. Designed to be a place where people can wait for a reservation at Chop Shop, host events and parties, or meet up with a friend before taking a gym class, the refurbished warehouse space will be decorated with art curated by Kari of Artbot.

Zweet Sport
Zweet Sport Total Fitness encompasses two unique, elite fitness studios under the same roof: a 35 bike cycling room and small group fitness/personal training space to be used for one-on-one or semi-private sweat sessions. Zweet Sport Total Fitness is a boutique fitness studio that takes these top-notch disciplines and combines them so that you are able to have one membership and a common community while also enjoying a customized experience. This is the second venture for the owners of Zweet Sport Total Fitness, who also operate a hot yoga school nearby.

Grateful Kitchen Co.
Next to Zweet Sport will be Grateful Kitchen Co. a standing room only juice bar with a walk-up window serving made to order juice and espresso to be enjoyed outside, on the go, or inside at the counters. Similar to a European coffee bar, Grateful Kitchen Co’s menu will be centered around health and the idea of food as medicine. The intention is to create food and drink that not only tastes good but serves a purpose for the body. Many of the options will be plant-based.

WashREIT Reaches Deal To Sell Braddock Metro Center Office Complex

By Anna Perault | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, News, Office, Press, VA | No Comments

The Braddock Metro Center Office Complex in Alexandria

Original article by Bisnow Washington, D.C., Jon Banister, October 27, 2017

After signing a General Services Administration lease at its Braddock Metro Center office complex in July, WashREIT is cashing out.

WashREIT signed a letter of intent this month to sell the 356K SF office complex, CEO Paul McDermott announced on the company’s Q3 earnings call Friday morning. He did not disclose the buyer or price, but said it expects the deal to close during the fourth quarter.

McDermott said the sale continues WashREIT’s strategy of selling out of the suburban office market and focusing on quality buildings in D.C.’s urban core. The CEO said the capital earned from the sale of Braddock Metro Center will go toward its recent $135M acquisition of Watergate 600. It plans to launch extensive renovations on the property, a 309K SF piece of the famed six-building Watergate mixed-use complex.

WashREIT acquired the four-building Braddock Metro Center complex in 2011 for $101M. It faced a large vacancy this year with one of its anchor tenants, Engility, leaving 134K SF when its lease expired in September to consolidate into other locations. The landlord got a win in July when it landed a new federal government tenant, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service, for 131K SF.

The deal also fits with the REIT’s strategy of limiting its exposure to large government leases and instead filling its buildings with small to midsize private sector tenants, McDermott said.

The property at 1310-1340 Braddock Place sits just steps from the Braddock Metro station, an area with loads of new development in its pipeline. Jaguar Development got approval in July for a 258-unit mixed-use building, the second phase of its Braddock Gateway development. Jaguar sold the parcel for the project’s first phase in 2011 to Trammell Crow, which built a 15-story, 270-unit residential building that is expected to deliver this year.

The project’s third phase would add a 317K SF mixed-use building with 250 to 300 units and 8K SF of retail. Avanti Holdings Group is planning a 100K SF development, likely multifamily or hospitality, on a a nearby site.

Also on Friday’s earnings call, McDermott announced the sale of the 212-unit Walker House Apartments in Gaithersburg for $32.2M. He said that capital would also be reallocated to 600 Watergate.

Rock Creek Property Group eyes major redevelopment prospect in Huntington

By admin | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, Multi-Unit, News, Office, Press, Real Estate Development, VA | No Comments

Rock Creek Property Group has teamed up with Avanti Holdings Group LLC to acquire 5904 Richmond Highway.
COURTESY KLNB

Original article by Washington Business Journal, Daniel Sernovitz, October 2, 2017

Rock Creek Property Group is eyeing a potentially major redevelopment along Richmond Highway in Fairfax County’s Huntington submarket, near Washington Real Estate Investment Trust’s planned Riverside Apartments expansion.

Rock Creek partnered with Avanti Holdings Group LLC last month to acquire 5904 Richmond Highway for $8.3 million from an affiliate of retired property owner Bill Fetch. The acquisition includes a 78,000-square-foot office building that is about 65 percent leased and recently underwent a $1 million renovation. KLNB Principal Joshua Simon, who represented the buyers in the deal, said Rock Creek and Avanti will focus in the near term on boosting the building’s occupancy but, on a second track, will explore pursuing a larger redevelopment of more than 1 million square feet.

The property is one of several nodes along Richmond Highway that Fairfax County has identified in a comprehensive plan for higher density development, Simon said. Rock Creek and Avanti would only be able to unlock that potential, he noted, by teaming up with the owner of the adjacent Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria at 5900 Richmond Highway.

“You can’t do anything with it by itself, so this comprehensive plan essentially says our site, linked up with Ourisman, would unlock this very, very great amount of development potential,” Simon said, adding the two parties have had informal talks but have not yet reached the point of formal negotiations. “They bought it with the intent of leasing up the remaining vacancy, as a straight office play, but there definitely is an open eye to whatever is possible there.”

Fetch retained Gates Hudson & Associates to market the site, which started out at a higher asking price of around $13 million but came down to its ultimate sale price of around $106 per square foot.

Rock Creek and Avanti have also retained KLNB to handle leasing for the property, and Simon said he believes the office building is positioned in the near term to benefit from factors including WashREIT’s plans to add 550 units to the 1,222-unit Riverside complex.

Simon said he already had discussions with a handful of prospective tenants weighing relocations from nearby Old Town Alexandria, where the office rental rate hovers at about $10 per square foot higher than the roughly $23-$24-per-square-foot range KLNB is shooing for at 5904 Richmond Highway.

Fairfax County office building sells for $8.3 million

By Anna Perault | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, Multi-Unit, News, Office, Press, Real Estate Development, VA | No Comments

Original article by VirginiaBusiness.com, September 28, 2017

KLNB, a Maryland-based real estate brokerage firm, has announced the sale of 5904 Richmond Highway, a 78,000-square-foot office building in Fairfax County, for $8.3 million.

Joshua Simon, principal at KLNB, represented the buyer — a joint venture of Rock Creek Property Group and Avanti Holdings Group, LLC — and has also been retained to handle leasing of the building. The property sold on Sept. 8 for nearly $106 per square foot.

The structure is a newly renovated office building in Fairfax’s Huntington submarket with suites ranging from 1,800 to 15,780 square feet. The building has access to Route 1, Old Town Alexandria and National Harbor. It’s within walking distance to the Huntington Metro Station and Mount Vernon Trail.

In a statement, Simon described the Huntington area as “an untapped submarket with great potential and high expected future density.
As companies continue to look for lower lease rates compared to Old Town Alexandria, they will immediately see value in Huntington thanks to its prime location and anticipated growth.”

5904 Richmond Highway is currently 65 percent leased, with a remaining five office suites available.

KLNB’s offices are located in Towson and Columbia, Md.; Washington, D.C.; and Dulles and Tysons, Va.

Office building in Huntington sells for $8.3 million

By Anna Perault | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, Multi-Unit, News, Office, Press, Uncategorized, VA | No Comments

5904 Richmond Highway

Original article by coveringthecorridor, October 29, 2017

The high-rise office building located at 5904 Richmond Highway was sold in early September for $8.3 million, according to a press release from KLNB, the real estate firm that brokered the deal.

The 78,000 square-foot building is now owned by Rock Creek Property Group and Avanti Holdings Group, LLC.

The press release noted that the property had recently been renovated and was acquired for a “favorable price.” Fairfax County property records show the assessed value for 5904 Richmond Highway in 2016 was $13 million.

“We are incredibly in tune with the Huntington market and it’s clear that it is an untapped submarket with great potential and high expected future density,” KLNB’s Joshua Simon, who represented the buyer, said in the release. “As companies continue to look for lower lease rates compared to Old Town Alexandria, they will immediately see value in Huntington thanks to its prime location and anticipated growth.”

Some of that anticipated growth includes a plan to greatly expand the adjacent Riverside Apartments complex. That proposal, which is scheduled to before the Fairfax County Planning Commission next week, calls for five new buildings with nearly 800 units to be added to the Riverside complex, which already contains more than 1,200 units in three buildings.

5904 Richmond Highway actually sits far off of Route 1, behind the Great American Steak & Buffet and Ourisman car dealership. Office space in the building ranges between 1,800 to 15,780 square feet, and the building is currently 65 percent leased, the KLNB release said. Among the businesses currently located there are Curb (formerly known as Taxi Magic).

Investing in the future, OPEI purchases new headquarters building

By Anna Perault | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, News, Office, Press, Uncategorized, VA | No Comments

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) announces the association has purchased a new headquarters building, and will move its offices to 1605 King Street, Alexandria, Va., in the spring of 2018.

Avanti Holding Group principal Teddy Kim and OPEI President and CEO Kris Kiser close Aug. 15.

OPEI President and CEO Kris Kiser said the trade association outgrew its current space. The new building will be better equipped for the association’s needs. “OPEI has been dealing with a problem for a couple years now,” Kiser said. “And it’s a great problem to have: We’ve increased our membership and increased our member engagement to a point that we’ve outgrown our current location and meeting space.”

The new OPEI headquarters will include a state-of-the-art conference center that can seat 50 people for in-person and virtual meetings. This new space will enable OPEI members around the country and overseas to participate more fully in association business and activities.

“As a trade group with members in Europe, Japan, China and across the United States, we have global meetings, and we wanted to be able to host them in person and virtually. Now, we’ll be better suited to host ISO, IEC and other international gatherings,” said Kiser. “Alexandria has been our home for 30 years. When we looked to make this decision, we considered other locales, and our board of directors chose to reinvest in Alexandriadue to its proximity to Washington, D.C., airports, hotels, as well as its historic character and lifestyle.”

OPEI’s new King Street location is on the historic main thoroughfare in the bustling heart of Old Town Alexandria, and is within walking distance to several hotels. It is one block from the King Street Metro station, the second subway stop from Washington National Airport. It will also have private offices reserved for members when they visit the D.C. area.

OPEI closed on its new location on Aug. 15, and the move represents a multi-million-dollar investment. OPEI has retained OTJ Architects of Washington, D.C., for the project.

“In 1987, OPEI’s board was prescient and chose to relocate from Washington, D.C., to Alexandria and built its current building. The current building met our needs for three decades and appreciated considerably. Our new building prepares us for future growth and engagement,” said Kiser.

Jaguar Development Gets Approval For Braddock Gateway Phase 2

By admin | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, Multi-Unit, News, Press, Real Estate Development, VA, Warehouse | No Comments

Original article by Bisnow, Jon Bannister, June 7, 2017

The robust development pipeline at Alexandria’s Braddock Road Metro got a push forward Tuesday evening. Alexandria’s Planning Commission voted to approved Phase 2 of Braddock Gateway, a 258-unit mixed-use building. Jaguar Development’s project will also include 8K SF of retail and a 28K SF park. Jaguar Development managing partner Eddy Cetina called the Phase 2 approval a big step. She said she expects to break ground in about 12 months after completing the construction documents and securing the building permits. After getting Phase 1 of the development entitled, Jaguar sold the parcel to Trammell Crow in 2011 for $14M. The developer brought on WashREIT as a partner and broke ground on the 15-story, 270-unit residential building in December 2015 with a delivery expected this year. The planned third phase would add a 317K SF mixed-use building with 250 to 300 units and 8K SF of retail, completing the seven-acre site. Next to Jaguar’s project, Avanti Holdings Group is planning a 100K SF development, likely multifamily or hospitality, on the site of an industrial property it bought last year. UPDATE, JUNE 8, 11:00 A.M.: While it originally partnered with WashREIT in the acquisition of Braddock Gateway Phase 1, Trammell Crow informed Bisnow that it has since replaced them with Meadow Partners in the deal.

NAI KLNB Brokers Sale of 19,000 SF Warehouse Building in Alexandria, VA for $3.85M

By admin | Alexandria, Commercial Real Estate, News, Office, Press, Real Estate Development, VA, Warehouse | No Comments

Avanti Holdings Group acquires building which is 76% leased with five tenants

NAI KLNB has brokered the sale of a 19,000 square foot warehouse building in Alexandria, Virginia for $3.85 million. Josh Simon, principal with NAI KLNB represented the buyer, Avanti Holdings Group, in this transaction. Theseller, William Dwyer Properties, was represented by Christopher Campagna of Braddock Commercial Real Estate. The building, which is contained on 35,000 square feet of land, was 76% leased and occupied by five tenants at the time of the sale.

Located at 1200 N. Henry Street, the building features fourteen foot ceiling heights, and dock height loading, with visibility on Route 1 leading into Old Town Alexandria. The majority of the tenancy are retailers. The asset is situated approximately one-half mile from the Braddock Rd. Metro Station, two miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and less than ten miles from downtown Washington, D.C.

“We saw a major opportunity to acquire an industrial/flex asset that is virtually nonexistent in Alexandria,” explained Teddy Kim, Principal of Avanti Holdings Group. “As we researched further, we realized the future value points toward a redevelopment strategy, and we are currently exploring options. At this time, we are highly focused on leasing the remaining vacancy for the near term to stabilize the asset.”

Avanti Holdings Group, headquartered in Alexandria, recently sold 410-420 Calvert Avenue and is preparing to acquire several additional sites in the Old Town, Alexandria area later this year. In addition to Kim, Avanti Holdings Group was founded and is owned by Keinan Ashkenazi and Greg Salvaggio.

“We are working closely with Avanti Holdings Group to explore next phase strategies for 1200 N. Henry Street,” explained Josh Simon of NAI KLNB. “This transaction required nearly one year to execute and Avanti intends to leverage this acquisition into a project that makes a substantial impact in the marketplace. We are closely monitoring the Jaguar parcel directly adjacent to the site in an effort to expand, and increase the value of the overall development. With the proximity to Metro and visibility on Route 1, we are optimistic about the possibility of arranging an attractive development partner.”

Founded in 1968, KLNB, LLC is comprised of two real estate services companies that includes NAI KLNB, a division that focuses on the sale and leasing of commercial office, industrial and warehouse properties, as well as KLNB Retail, which specializes in the sale and leasing of retail properties as well as tenant representation.
