August 2005 - Capital Pacific is pleased to announce the sale of Riverway Plaza in Kelso, Washington in one of the more challenging transactions of 2005. Capital Pacific devised a broad marketing plan designed to reach a maximum number of potential buyers. Because the property is located in a secondary market with a bowling alley as the anchor tenant the property demanded maximum exposure to find a buyer willing to purchase the property. In addition, the buyer was required to assume the existing conduit loan with a loan-to-value of 50%. The property was purchased by a buyer from the Puget Sound area.
August 2005 - Capital Pacific has closed on the sale of the Cornelius Retail Center, a brand new 7,400 square foot Starbuck’s-anchored retail center located in Cornelius, Oregon. At over $310 per square foot, Capital Pacific has again set the benchmark for pricing in Portland Metropolitan Area.

July 2005 - After overcoming several significant issues, Capital Pacific has closed the sale of the West Union Business Plaza, a Class-A office-flex project located in the Sunset Corridor. Despite the obstacles of: 50% equity requirement on a deal over $15M, debt that needed to be assumed, and being located in a known high-vacancy submarket with above market lease rates, Capital Pacific was able to structure a deal agreeable to both sides and move to closing on schedule to meet both the buyer's and seller's needs.
July 2005 - As an example of "high transaction velocity", Capital Pacific has completed the sale of the Taco Del Mar/Starbucks properties in Walla Walla, Washington. This transaction took just 31 days, and was a team effort of brokers, marketing, and escrow mangers each playing a role and executing flawlessly. This property was presented to a targeted audience rather than to a blind mass marketing list, and the right investor was found through our own qualified multi-state database.

April 2005 - Capital Pacific is extremely proud to announce the closing of two trophy assets in the Pacific Northwest.

Lake Place Shopping Center, in Lake Oswego, OR, property presented the challenge of being encumbered by a land lease less than 40 years in length.

Capital Pacific added value by initiating a dialogue with the existing ground owners and the new buyer, and initiating the lease negotiations with the largest tenant to lease additional space in the center.

The Gregory Building, located in the upscale Pearl District of downtown Portland, presented it's own market challenges being a mixed use structure with a condominium association relationship. Having recently sold the RiverPlace portfolio, Capital Pacific had significant experience with condominium associations and their associated pitfalls with investors and lenders. Prior to taking the Gregory Building to the market, we thoroughly analyzed all pertinent homeowners association documents and other due diligence reports in order to anticipate objections, and form solutions. We were able to summarize this information and present it concisely to our investor which facilitated and smooth closing within 90 days at the sellers initial asking price.
April 2005 - Capital Pacific has closed on the Big 5 Sporting Goods located in Gilbert, Arizona. Because the property included additional retail space that was vacant during escrow, an earn-out was created that provided the investor with income until the spaces are leased. The property will provide the investor with steady returns for many years.

After overcoming numerous challenges during escrow, Capital Pacific closed the sale of the 10,700 SF Schendel Retail Center in Beaverton, Oregon. This rare Westside retail sale exemplifies what our vast experience brings to a transaction, as several potential deal-breaking issues arose in the course of the transaction. Capital Pacific worked through the issues and found common ground that ultimately led to a close at full contract price. Capital Pacific has also closed on the sale of the 5,400 SF Heritage Plaza in Albany, Oregon. Capital Pacific matched up a first-time investor with this property that should provide a stable income stream with excellent potential for future rent appreciation.
March 2005 - Capital Pacific is pleased to have been awarded the listing agreements for two excellent investment opportunities. These listings demonstrate that our Clients see the value in what we bring to the table. Capital Pacific has been awarded the exclusive listing agreement on the Metrocenter Retail Portfolio in Phoenix, Arizona. The entire portfolio is valued at $67.8M, and consists of a collection of retail, restaurants, banks, and service tenants. The Portland and San Francisco offices are jointly working this assignment listing. Unlike the sale of a portfolio in it's entirety, Metrocenter has been split up into 20 distinct sales, allowing investors with different needs to shop the most suitable component. Capital Pacific is pleased to also announce the exclusive listing of the new Best Buy located next to Gateway Mall in Eugene, Oregon. After considering other brokerage firms, the selling entity made the decision to team with Capital Pacific due of our proven track record of accessing the most motivated capital seeking NNN investments.
February 2005 - Capital Pacific is pleased to announce the sale of the Shoppes at Creswell, in Creswell, OR. This newly constructed retail center is shadow-anchored by Ray’s Food Place. As with most pre-sales, numerous challenges were overcome in this transaction, including several changes in the rent roll. Our vast experience with pre-sales was instrumental in getting this transaction closed.
February 2005 - Capital Pacific has again achieved benchmark pricing on a trophy office/retail building in the heart of the Pearl District in Portland. By taking on an assignment where other had failed before, Capital Pacific solidified is position as the leading investment brokerage firm in the Pacific Northwest.

The property was in escrow one time and closed at the contract price.
January 2005 - Continuing our great start to 2005, we are pleased to announce the completion of 3 sales in the Pacific Northwest and Nevada.

We've completed the sale of the Wells Fargo Building in Reno Nevada, delivering a higher price than many in the industry thought possible. This is due in large part to our ability to find the right buyer and capitalize on local market forces beyond just price and CAP rate.

Capital Pacific has also closed on the Holland Avenue Retail Center in Spokane and a Yakima property, Washington. These properties shared many characteristics in terms of simple leases, safe properties for investors looking for solid returns, and similar demographic markets. By leveraging our network of relationships and our ability to deliver, we drove the market and delivered excellent results for our clients.
January 2005 - For the second time in less than a year Capital Pacific has sold the Kmart in Coos Bay, Oregon. We often tell our clients that unsolicited offers rarely deliver the highest possible price and this property is a prime example. The twice previous owners of the property were willing to sell but not willing to exclusively list the property with Capital Pacific. As such, an unsolicited offer was accepted and the property sold about a year ago without a full marketing effort. Eleven months later, we have closed on this property for the second time. However, this time the owners hired us exclusively to market their property. We were able to flex every bit of our marketing and relationship muscle to find the most motivated buyer. The result; almost $400,000 more than just a year earlier, a nice return for holding the asset for just shy of a year.
January 2005 - Capital Pacific has started the year off by closing on the sale of Overlake Retail Center in Redmond, Washington. The buyer assumed a slightly higher rate on an existing loan recognizing the true value of the location and the tenant mix. With over 92,000 square feet of retail space just a block from the Microsoft campus, leased to large successful tenants, the Overlake Retail Center proved to be a lucrative investment.
