Tallahassee, FL - Jimmy Nystrom, SIOR, and Kat Butler - 323 John Knox Road



LARGE OFFICE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO SELLS IN TALLAHASSEE

Tallahassee, Florida [October 9, 2020] – NAI TALCOR, a member of the world’s premier managed network of commercial real estate firms, announced today that Jimmy Nystrom, SIOR, and Kat Butler, members of our Tallahassee brokerage team, negotiated the sale of 4 office buildings located in the Woodcrest Office Park. This sell marks a large investment sale in the middle of a pandemic for the Tallahassee office commercial real estate market.

Located just minutes from the State Capitol, the four properties sold in the investment portfolio totaled 94,164 square-feet. The properties include The Atrium, located at 323 John Knox Road and centrally located within Tallahassee’s MSA. The building is currently 98% occupied with over 55,645 rentable square feet. It is home to the State Department of Financial Services, the State Fire Marshall office, Intuition Systems, Inc, and others tenants. The portfolio also included buildings C, D, and E making up the difference of the large investment selling at $8.3 million dollars.

“The four properties will make a great asset for the buyer” said Jimmy Nystrom, SIOR, Senior Commercial Advisor of NAI TALCOR Commercial Real Estate Services. “We are a strong market and looking forward to overcoming the current market conditions with COVID being a large factor.”

The Atrium has been exceptionally well-maintained with over $1.7 million in capital improvements made in recent years. Bathrooms on 2nd and 3rd floors completed in the last 12 months. Several HVAC units have been replaced in the last 5 years as well. All but one interior space has been updated in the last 24 months.

Next to the Atrium, Buildings C, D and E currently hold an occupancy rate of 88%. With 28,550 square-feet of divisible office spaces, these buildings provide highly coveted small foot-print suites just off the arterial road Monroe Street.

With their updated interior spaces, recently renovated restrooms and high occupancy rates, Woodcrest Office Park, and its assets, are and will continue to be a desirable long-term investment for its undisclosed buyer.

The overall Tallahassee office market is currently at a vacancy rate of 6.0% in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020, well below the national average of 10.8%. The Tallahassee Central Business District has a mixed-use project in the Cascades Park area which will add an additional 63,980 feet of office space along with a Hotel and Apartments projected to be completed in Q4 2020. In more rural suburban markets, an additional 20,000 square feet will be added by 2021. Over 200,000 square feet of state offices were relocated from the West Tennessee corridor to the Centre of Tallahassee. The office parks in which these tenants left will likely be redeveloped and repositioned with new ownership in the next three to five years, as they are obsolete office space with little interest from prospective tenants.

Almost as impression as the magnitude of this transaction is the fact that it’s taken place during a global pandemic. Covid-19 has unilaterally impacted a number of markets both national and locally. NAI TALCOR continues to maneuver through COVID 19 and what impact that will have to commercial real estate and our office markets, Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, is the third most populous state in the nation. With a population of 385,000 people, the Tallahassee metropolitan area boasts a diverse economy supported by a business-friendly climate. Tallahassee MSA has the fastest growing economy per capita for any Florida city. Tallahassee maintains a stable economy with significant footprints in the Government Services, Healthcare, Financial Services, and Hospitality sectors. Additionally, Tallahassee is home to two major universities, Florida State University and Florida A&M University, making Education a major demand driver for the region.
