MILWAUKEE- Capital Square Realty Advisors, LLC just announced that they have completed their first Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment offering for the Riverwood Corporate Center, a Class A, 112,000-square-foot office building in the Milwaukee suburb of Pewaukee. In February, GlobeSt.com reported on the venture's founding and the December 2012 purchase of Riverwood.
The Virginia-based firm, led by founder and CEO Louis Rogers, specializes in gathering up high-worth investors who want stability, a high return and limit what they owe in capital gains taxes. Under certain conditions, the IRS allows individuals to shelter money received from selling property if it's plowed back into real estate through a “1031 exchange.” About two-thirds of Capital Square's investors have done an exchange while the rest invested cash. The firm then structures the funds into a DST.
“Riverwood Corporate Center is a mission critical, institutional quality building that is 100 percent leased by ProHealth Care Inc., a regional healthcare provider highly rated by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's, on a long-term, triple-net-basis,” says Rogers. “In searching for replacement properties for our investors, we look for attributes such as these, with the goal of providing high-quality investments with the potential for meaningful returns.”
This year, Capital Square will seek out other buildings with solid tenants like ProHealth, which hopefully will provide a 6% or better cash flow to investors. “Whether the economy is up or down,” Rogers adds, “healthcare [business] is pretty stable due to the aging of the population.”
