Dilweg Sells Vantage Place in Nashville

DURHAM, N.C. (March 4, 2019) – Commercial real estate investment firm, The Dilweg Companies, announced today the sale of Vantage Place in Nashville, Tennessee to an affiliate Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC (“Innovatus”), an independent investment adviser and portfolio management firm with approximately $1.7 billion in assets under management.

Vantage Place is a five-story office building located Nashville’s MetroCenter submarket. The building totals 171,523 square feet and was built in 1981. Major tenants include AO Smith, Centerstone Research Institute, CGS and Young Williams. The building was 99 percent leased at the time of sale.

“The Nashville office investment market has been very strong lately, and we felt this was a good time to exit this stabilized asset,” said Anthony Dilweg, CEO of the Dilweg Companies. “We were able to add value to this building and realize significant returns for our investors, which represents a notable win for our first Nashville project.”

The Dilweg Companies acquired Vantage Place in April 2017 for $17.7M.

“We are pleased to expand our Nashville footprint with our second transaction in Nashville after purchasing Highland Ridge in January 2019.  Vantage Place complements our existing portfolio of U.S. commercial office properties in emergent growth U.S. markets,” said Bradley Seiden, Managing Director, Innovatus Capital Partners. “Nashville has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years as high-profile companies continue to select Nashville for expansion. This transaction epitomizes Innovatus’ strategic focus of acquiring market leading office properties in top-tier suburban markets. We look forward to working closely with our tenants and becoming part of the growing and thriving Nashville community.”

“Nashville is one of our target markets, and we look forward to our next opportunity in the Nashville metro area,” said Zach Ashton, Managing Director of Acquisitions for the Dilweg Companies.
