Wilmington, DE (February 27, 2014) – Patterson-Woods Commercial Properties/CORFAC International President Duncan Patterson, CCIM, announced today that J. Gregory Ellis, CCIM, represented the seller, Rockford King LLC in the disposition of an office building and adjacent parking lot in Wilmington, DE.
Rockford King, an affiliate of a Delaware-based real estate investment fund, sold the 5,776-square-foot office building located at 1314 N. King Street and the adjacent, nearly half-acre parking lot at 1320 N. King Street for undisclosed prices and to separate buyers.
WG&S LLP purchased the office building and occupied it earlier this month. The company was previously located at 4550 Linden Hill Road in Wilmington (Pike Creek) in about 3,800 square feet. Walnut Street Parking Inc. purchased the parking lot as an investment. Rockford King had earlier purchased the combined properties from a bank and subsequently had the two assets legally sub-divided prior to the dispositions.
“These were market-rate transactions that satisfied the objectives of all three entities; the seller successfully exited an earlier investment, the office building buyer is able to expand and control the future cost of real estate occupancy and the parking lot investor has a low maintenance investment that they can hold for as long as they want and get a good return,” said Greg Ellis.
