KABR Real Estate Investment Partners LLC and Capstone Realty Group recently acquired 330 and 350 Motor Parkway, the gateway office buildings to the Hauppauge Industrial Park. According to a report the properties were purchased for $19 million note at 40 cents on the dollar.
KABR/Capstone will soon begin an upgrade program for the twin office buildings, known as Towers East and Towers West and which total 144,000 s/f, said Adam Rochlin, president of The Rochlin Organization, exclusive leasing agent for the buildings. "The buildings' new owners are committed to restoring the Towers to their prominent position within the marketplace through capital improvements."
The towers, separated by Marcus Blvd., are one of the nation's first planned industrial parks and now the second largest in the nation with 1,300 companies employing 5,500 people.
They are conveniently located near Long Island Expressway Exits 53 and 55.
"The prominent location of 330 and 350 makes them great assets, which can now be offered at tremendous value to tenants given our basis in the property," said Brad Gillman, managing partner at Capstone.
For KABR, the two buildings fit well in the portfolio's model of restructuring properties to create great values that can be passed on to tenants. "We were able to acquire these fine commercial office buildings at the right time for the right price," said Kenneth Pasternak, chairman of KABR.
Each tower is 72,000 s/f and four stories. Currently, they are 85% leased. Among the key tenants at 350 are Walter F. Cameron Advertising and New York Commercial Bank. At 330, major tenants include First National Bank of Long Island, the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau and Feldman, Kramer & Monaco PC.
