Strategic Capital Partners and Bergman Real Estate Group Acquire Class "A" Office Complex in Florham Park, NJ

Plans call for two building complex on Vreeland Road to be upgraded and leased to full occupancy. 

Strategic Capital Partners (SCP) through its fund, Strategic Partners Value Enhancement Fund (SPVEF), and Bergman Real Estate Group have acquired a two building, 225,500 square foot, Class "A" office complex known as 25 A & B Vreeland Road in Florham Park, NJ.  The purchase price of the asset was $33.7 million, or $149 per square foot.  The seller, TR Koll Florham Park Corporation, is an entity controlled by KBS Realty Advisors.  The partners plan to provide upgrades to the lobby and rent the remaining available space in the building, the current occupancy of which is 82%.

"All parties involved were able to evaluate the real estate and close within a 30 day time frame", said Laurie Smith, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for SCP.  SPVEF provided a bridge loan along with equity to facilitate the closing.  "Third party debt will replace the bridge loan within 60 days.  Especially key to the transaction was the strength of the Bergman organization, their track history in the New Jersey market and the positive signs for leasing and rent increases in the Morris County submarket."
