Anna Langley, L&L Investment Partners<\/p><\/div>\n

Belay Investment Group LLC, of Sherman Oaks, Calif., and L&L Investment Partners, an affiliate of Langley Investment Properties, Portland, Ore., have both launched a programmatic joint venture to reposition CRE assets in metro Portland and acquired their first property.<\/p>\n

The joint venture, Belay Fund II L&L PJV, is intended to purchase and reposition up to $70 million of office, multifamily and mixed-use properties in the Portland area, targeting \u201cvalue-add and opportunistic acquisitions in emerging live-work-play submarkets\u2026,<\/em>\u201d according to a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Belay\u2019s investment in the JV comes from Belay Partnership Ventures II LP, which is anchored by a $200 million commitment from California State Teachers\u2019 Retirement System and is targeting $500 million of equity.<\/p>\n

The First Moves<\/h2>\n
\"One<\/a>

One of the warehouses<\/p><\/div>\n

As its first investment, the JV acquired a property comprising two 1940\u2019s-era warehouses in the Guild\u2019s Lake submarket, in northwestern Portland. The location at NW Wilson Street and NW 27th Avenue is less than half a mile west of Interstate 30 and about two miles from downtown Portland, Suzanne West, Managing Principal at Belay, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe location is within the path of growth within the submarket as older industrial buildings are converted into creative office venues, retail shops and restaurants,<\/em>\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The price was not disclosed, but West did tell CPE<\/em> that the acquisition took place in May through an off-market transaction and that the total equity investment will be $15 million to $20 million, depending on the project\u2019s final scope.<\/p>\n

The plan is to convert and expand the buildings into 60,000 square feet of creative office space, while maintaining some historical features so as to preserve the properties\u2019 vintage character, Anna Langley, a partner with Scott Langley in L&L, told CPE<\/em>.<\/p>\n

West highlighted the synergy the JV has by virtue of L&L\u2019s\/Langley\u2019s position as a \u201cdeeply entrenched local owner\/operator<\/em>\u201d with about 40 years of experience, coupled with Belay\u2019s ties to institutional investors, such as CalSTRS.<\/p>\n

Last year’s deals<\/h2>\n

In 2016, Langley sold its operating\/property management platform to Urban Renaissance Group and refocused on its investment and development activities with several multi-family and mixed-use office projects under way in Portland. The operating platform at the time of sale comprised 1.4 million square feet of Class A office properties in Portland, along with leasing and property and construction management.<\/p>\n

Also last year, Belay teamed up with Arc Capital Partners LLC, of Los Angeles, to launch Arc\/West Partners, a JV whose goal is to acquire and reposition up to $150 million of multifamily and retail properties<\/a> in California and Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
