New York Life Real Estate Investors and The Dilweg Companies Acquire Royal Centre II, III and IV

NEW YORK, August 10, 2015 – New York Life Real Estate Investors and The Dilweg Companies announced today the acquisition, on behalf of institutional investors, of three Class A office buildings located in the city of Alpharetta, Georgia within Atlanta’s North Fulton submarket.

Royal Centre II, III and IV total 630,000 square feet and are situated on 37.7 acres in the Royal 400 office park. At the time of sale, the buildings were 74 percent leased. Major tenants include ACE Group, MarketSource, VeriFone and McKesson. The owners plan to invest more than $3 million to upgrade the buildings’ operating systems, common areas and tenant amenities to reposition the properties. The leasing and management has been awarded to Stream Realty Partners.

“Royal Centre represents an excellent opportunity to invest in highly efficient Class A office buildings with an abundance of structured parking, in a submarket experiencing tremendous corporate job growth,” said Scott Ingham, Director at New York Life Real Estate Investors.

“From several vantage points, Royal Centre has tremendous potential. Its location in a dynamic commercial corridor, access to growing residential areas, strong existing tenant mix and proximity to Avalon’s amenities were all attractive to us,” said Anthony Dilweg, CEO of The Dilweg Companies.

Mr. Ingham and Mr. Dilweg agree, “Royal Centre is a great addition to our Southeast office portfolios and we look forward to repositioning these assets.”
