SkyWalker Property Partners has purchased a 72,518-square-foot Arlington office building as the first property of its Opportunity Knocks Fund as it prepares to launch a major capital campaign in June.
“We’ve been tracking this building for three years. It’s in a key area of Arlington,” said Clint Holland, acquisitions director for Skywalker, a locally based investment group, commenting in a news release.
The five-story, 30-year-old building located at 701 Highlander Blvd., near Arlington Highlands, the Parks Mall, USMD at Arlington and other South Arlington commercial landmarks. The 4.6-acre property includes a T-Mobile cell tower. The building is 40 percent leased.
At least $400,000 in maintenance and structural upgrades are planned. About $150,000 of that will be used to fix waterproofing issues with the roof and windows. The lobby will gain new lighting, finishes and furniture. Upgrades also are planned for elevator cabs and common areas. The exterior plan calls for a new monument sign and landscaping improvements. Work is expected to get underway within 30 days.
Gary Walker of Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance DFW and Colt Power of NAI Robert Lynn represented the buyer of record, This Land is Highland. Paul Getty of Sperry Van Ness/First Guardian Group of San Jose, California, represented the sellers. Renee Efimoff of Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance DFW will oversee leasing for the new owner.
SkyWalker established Opportunity Knocks to acquire class A and B properties. It hopes to raise up to $20 million in acquiring office, flex, warehouse, retail and condo properties in Texas and neighboring states.
