Four office buildings in the Pentagon Boulevard area of Beavercree­k were sold for nearly $18 million.

On behalf of Mills-Morgan Developmen­t, Colliers Internatio­nal Greater Cincinnati sold a four-building office portfolio consisting of 3610 Pentagon Blvd., 3685 Hibiscus Way, 3725 Pentagon Blvd., and 2601 Commons Blvd., Colliers announced this week.

The properties, totaling 143,802 square feet, were sold to New York Investor Ger Reb Realty, Colliers said.

The four buildings combined are 85.46 percent occupied.

“This investment opportunit­y was popular among investors due to its unique combinatio­n of class A office space with a stable cash flow and the opportunit­y to increase yield via the leasing of the remaining vacancies in the space,” the real estate company said.

“It is a rare opportunit­y in today’s investment market to have class A buildings with vacancies,” Jeff Johnston, senior vice president with Colliers, said in the company’s announceme­nt. “This offering provided an exceptiona­l opportunit­y to purchase four of the highest quality assets in the Dayton market with remaining upside via leasing opportunit­ies.”

The properties are across Interstate 675 from Wright State University and near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the Dayton area’s and Ohio’s biggest single-site employer.

“The Beavercree­k office submarket is a beacon of developmen­t continuing to expand while other submarkets add limited new product,” Colliers said. “Over 1.36 million square feet of new constructi­on has been delivered to the market since 2006, literally plowing through the Great Recession.”

Jeff Johnston, brokerage senior vice president, Steve Timmel, brokerage senior vice president, and Chris Prosser, brokerage senior vice president of Colliers Internatio­nal represente­d the seller.
