H.I.G. Realty Partners Sells Las Vegas Office Investments


H.I.G. Capital ("H.I.G."), a leading global alternative investment firm with $45 billion of equity capital under management, is pleased to announce that its affiliate, H.I.G. Realty Partners, has sold two Las Vegas office investments, 8912-8918 Spanish Ridge Avenue and 6605 Grand Montecito Parkway, after successfully completing its business plan at each property.

At Spanish Ridge, H.I.G. Realty executed a value-add strategy, leasing the property to 100% occupancy (from 56% at acquisition) to a diversified roster of high-quality tenants. At Montecito, H.I.G. Realty significantly de-risked its investment prior to acquisition by extending the anchor tenant's lease by seven years, generating substantial value in the process.

"The realizations of Spanish Ridge and Montecito reflect H.I.G. Realty's ability to identify undervalued and mismanaged assets, mitigate risks during due diligence, and execute on a value-add game-plan," said David Hirschberg, Co-Head of H.I.G. Realty Partners.
