Team member Andrew Townsend was quoted in a Philadelphia Inquirer article published August 24, 2016. A second residential tower is being planned at a development site at an East Market project in Center City, which will have an impact on the area. Currently a quiet-after-dark neighborhood, the planned residential tower will aim to turn it into a lively community of businesses, shops and homes.

“I think the highest and best use for that location is some sort of mixed-use over retail, which is what they’re doing,” said Townsend – Vice President of Investments at Marcus & Millichap. He went on to say that an office tower at the site would have been more difficult, because such projects generally require an anchor tenant to be in place before construction can begin.

NEWTON, N.J., June 7, 2016 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, has arranged the sale of Brookside Terrace, a 222-unit HUD property in Newton, New Jersey. The apartment complex consists of a 10-story high-rise building along with townhouses. Built in 1976 on 7.2 acres, the property is located at 33 Mill Street in Newton, one hour from Manhattan.

“This was an extremely complicated transaction that involved multiple state housing agencies and a conversion to the Housing and Urban Development’s RAD 2 program,” says Andrew Townsend, vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia office.  “We commend both the buyer and seller for their patience and hard work in getting this deal to the finish line.”

Townsend, along with Ridge MacLaren, first vice president investments and Clarke Talone, senior associate, both also in the firm’s Philadelphia office, represented the seller and procured the buyer. J.D. Parker, senior vice president – district manager, supervised the deal as the firm’s broker of record in New Jersey.

“We are seeing more and more apartment investors actively pursue HUD and Low Income Tax Credit opportunities as an alternative to market-rate apartments, which are highly competitive and typically have lower yields,” adds MacLaren. “Our team has built a 10-year track record of success in the affordable housing space in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. We currently have assets listed and under contract from North Carolina to New York and are actively pursuing new business.”

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 16, 2016 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, in conjunction with the MacLaren | Talone | Townsend team, hosted an informational seminar on “The 1031 Exchange: Explained” providing an overview of Section 1031 in commercial real estate.

The seminar was held on May 11, 2016 in Conshohocken, Pa. The featured speaker, Margo McDonnell, of 1031 Corp., gave an overview explaining the benefits of 1031 exchanges, the requirements of a successful exchange, as well as the tax consequences. McDonnell has over 22 years of experience in the 1031 industry and was awarded the “The Margo McDonnell Certified Exchange Specialist (CES) ® Perpetual Award for Outstanding Service” in 2010 by the CES® Certification Council.

“We consider ourselves advisors,” said Clarke Talone, senior associate at Marcus & Millichap. “The event was not only to network with our clients but we viewed it as an opportunity to provide them with information to help them grow their portfolio. Attendees undoubtedly found it very beneficial through Margo’s real deal stories and industry expertise.”

Other speakers included Marcus & Millichap’s Derrick Dougherty, senior associate, who gave examples of clients who have benefited from 1031 exchanges.  “1031 exchanges are a strategy implemented by all types of investors.” said Dougherty. “In most cases, the investor is trading out of an asset with management component into a net leased deal where the tenant is responsible for the real estate taxes, insurance and CAM. We add value to our clients by understanding the rules and regulations under section 1031 and controlling a significant portion of the inventory in this part of the country. This increases the probability of a successful exchange for our clients to accomplish their goal of deferring their tax consequence and preserving their equity.”

Over 40 people were in attendance for the seminar, one of many informative networking events the team hosts each year.
