NorthMarq Sells Landmark Professional Building in Alexandria, Va.

BETHESDA, MD, (June 23, 2009) — NorthMarq, a Minnesota-based commercial real estate services company with an investment sales office in Bethesda, Md., announced today that it has sold the seven-story Landmark Professional Building for $10.8 million in an off-market transaction.

“NorthMarq has entered the business of investment sales on a national basis,” said Ed Padilla, CEO-NorthMarq Capital. “During volatile market cycles when other industry players retreat and retrench, we're growing. We are privately held, well-capitalized, and intent on expanding into strategic markets like Washington, D.C.”

Jim Kornick and Jerry Burg, both NorthMarq senior vice presidents – Investment Services, and Matt Clinebell, vice president – Investment Services, brokered the sale of the medical office building.

"The sale of this building demonstrates the relative strength of the medical office market during a period of limited investment sales and limited debt availability,” said Kornick.

JAG Associates, LLC, purchased Landmark Professional Building, located at 5249 Duke Street in Alexandria, Va. With 60,432 square-feet and 30 tenants, the building is 90 percent occupied. With the new owner moving into approximately 3,500 square feet of space later this year, Landmark Professional Building will be nearly 100 percent occupied, Kornick said.

Landmark Professional Building was built in 1970 and was last renovated in the late 1980s. JAG Associates plans on further renovations to update the facility.
