Matthews™ Facilitates Sale of Hampton by Hilton in Virginia

RICHMOND, VA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of the Hampton by Hilton Gretna, located at 200 McBride Lane in Gretna, Virginia. Matthews™ First Vice President Mitchell Glasson represented the seller in the $9,200,000 transaction, marking the second-highest sale for a hospitality property sold in the Virginia South Central submarket within the last year. Situated off US-29, the 26,325-square-foot property benefits from a diverse mix of demand drivers, including Caesars Virginia Casino Resort, Smith Mountain Lake, Hargrave Military Academy, and Centra Gretna Medical Center. Originally built in 2008, the 81-key hotel completed a full Forever Young PIP renovation in 2021, cementing its position as the market’s premier lodging option. With the asset repositioned as a top-performing Hampton by Hilton, the seller, Nirav Mehta, Dhru Shah, and partners, elected to bring the property to market as part of a capital restructuring among investors. With a hyperspecialization in the Mid-Atlantic market, Matthews™ created a competitive bidding environment, producing nine offers, ultimately securing a hospitality investor completing a 1031 exchange. The buyer, looking to diversify their portfolio of Choice and Wyndham properties with a Hilton-flagged asset, submitted a nonrefundable deposit subject to franchise approval, and proactively initiated the change-of-ownership PIP prior to PSA execution. The Matthews™ agent navigated a complex financing process, diligently facilitating appraisal and loan approval, maintaining close communication with both parties to bring the transaction to a successful close. “Our seller built real value by flagging and renovating this asset, and we were able to deliver the right buyer who recognized that value and moved decisively to secure it,” Glasson said. “This transaction is a testament to what deep market expertise, buyer conviction, and diligent execution can deliver for our clients.” For more information, please contact Mitchell Glasson or visit www.matthews.com.

Through a competitive bidding environment, generating 12 offers within the first 60 days, the listing ultimately attracted a local investor with an established presence in the neighboring market.

Fortune Features Noah Lindon

In a recent feature with Fortune, Matthews™ Associate Noah Lindon discussed the growing supply-demand imbalance shaping the senior housing sector as demographic trends continue to accelerate nationwide. Lindon pointed to the combined impact of the “silver tsunami” and slowed development activity during the COVID-19 pandemic as key drivers behind the current market conditions. “The combination of the silver tsunami and a halt on development during COVID has created a supply-demand imbalance that has rarely—maybe never—been seen in commercial real estate,” says Lindon. “Given the backlog, we are decades away from being ‘overbuilt’ in the space.” The article highlights how demand for senior housing continues to surge while new development remains constrained. According to data cited in the report, new construction starts have fallen significantly from recent peaks even as occupancy and rental growth continue to strengthen across primary and secondary markets. Lindon’s perspective reflects broader industry optimism surrounding the long-term fundamentals of senior housing, with investors increasingly focused on the sector’s sustained demand drivers and limited incoming supply. Read the full Fortune article here to learn more about the demographic trends and investment activity shaping the future of senior housing.

Matthews™ Transaction Named Best Multifamily Deal by The Los Angeles Business Journal’s Inside the Valley CRE Awards

Matthews™ is proud to announce that the sale of Newcastle Towers has been recognized as the “Best Multifamily Deal” by the Los Angeles Business Journal at the prestigious Valley CRE Awards. The award-winning transaction involved the $14.75 million sale of a 71,765-square-foot apartment community located at 5415 Newcastle Avenue in Encino, California. The transaction was led by Executive Vice President & Senior Director Daniel Withers, who represented the seller, a local investor seeking to streamline their portfolio holdings. The deal drew significant market attention due to both the scale of the transaction and the challenges surrounding the multifamily investment landscape at the time. Amid tightening market conditions and ongoing difficulties securing property insurance due to the Southern California wildfires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, the Matthews™ team implemented a proactive and strategic marketing campaign that generated substantial buyer interest. Through extensive outreach, numerous property tours, and a competitive bidding environment, the team secured multiple offers and ultimately identified a private local investor whose terms aligned closely with the seller’s goals and timeline. According to CoStar, the Newcastle Towers transaction represented the largest multifamily sale by price in the San Fernando Valley in 2025. The recognition by the Los Angeles Business Journal highlights not only the scale of the transaction, but also the creativity, persistence, and market expertise required to successfully close a landmark multifamily deal in a highly competitive and evolving market environment.

Matthews™ Facilitates Lease for Chamberlain Coffee’s First Full-Scale Location on Abbot Kinney Blvd

LOS ANGELES, CA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the lease for Chamberlain Coffee, located at 1142 Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice, California.

Matthews™ Completes Sale of STNL IOS Facility in Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of an STNL industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility, located at 7925 & 7985 Industry Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Matthews™ Vice President Spencer Mason and Associate Jack Kuzio represented the buyer in the transaction. Positioned on a strong corner lot in the Northeast submarket, the 24,000-square-foot property features rare I-3 industrial zoning, a fully paved yard, covered parking, and a low 9% coverage ratio, providing significant outdoor storage functionality. The 6.07-acre asset has been occupied by a global telecommunications company since the 1980s and is leased under an Absolute NNN structure with more than five years on the remaining term. Matthews™ directly sourced the buyer, a repeat client with whom the firm has completed several similar IOS transactions. Leveraging its existing relationship and familiarity with the buyer’s acquisition criteria, the Matthews™ agents identified the asset as a strong fit for the buyer’s expanding Colorado IOS portfolio. By securing an all-cash offer that provided certainty of close and expedited the escrow timeline, Matthews™ maintained close coordination between both parties throughout the process to ensure a smooth closing. “The acquisition of 7925 & 7985 Industry Rd highlights the continued demand for well-located, low-coverage IOS sites leased to strong national tenants, particularly those offering passive ownership through Absolute NNN lease structures,” Mason said. “Assets with this combination of long-term tenancy, functional yard space, and rare zoning remain highly attractive to investors seeking durable industrial opportunities.” For more information, please contact Spencer Mason, Jack Kuzio, or visit www.matthews.com.

Blog Image for Matthews Walmart Portfolio Closing

Matthews™ Completes All-Cash Sale of $30M Walmart Portfolio in GA and SC

TAMPA, FL— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a Walmart Portfolio, located at 108 S Westover Blvd in Albany, Georgia, 801-AE General Stewart Way in Hinesville, Georgia, and 680 Old Greenville Hwy in Clemson, South Carolina. Matthews™ First Vice President and Associate Director Daniel Gonzalez, and Associates Princeton Douglass & Levi Veleanu represented the buyer in the $30,478,338 transaction. The 124,197-square-foot portfolio is comprised of three single-tenant retail assets secured by long-term leases with Walmart, an investment-grade tenant with a high credit profile and market dominance. Because Walmart owns the vast majority of its real estate and often exercises its Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on leased locations, acquiring Walmart-leased properties presents a meaningful barrier to entry for buyers looking to avoid above-market exchange premiums. Leveraging the firm’s proprietary database and institutional relationships, Matthews™ sourced a qualified institutional buyer within hours of learning of the seller’s intent to dispose of the assets. The publicly traded retail owner was attracted to the portfolio’s investment-grade stability and the rare opportunity to acquire multiple Walmart-anchored assets at market pricing to expand its high-quality holdings. The transaction allowed the seller, a private institutional multifamily owner, to facilitate a 1031 exchange into multifamily properties, aligning with their core business strategy. Despite the complexities of navigating varying ROFR timelines, the Matthews™ agents diligently maintained close coordination between both parties to ensure an all-cash, 40-day close that balanced the seller’s need for a quick timeline with the buyer’s focus on favorable pricing “This was a high-stakes negotiation involving two institutional entities with deep market knowledge,” Gonzalez said. “I am incredibly proud of Douglass and Veleanu who displayed a level of persistence and sophistication that ensured this all-cash deal reached the finish line on an unbeatable timeline. It’s a testament to Matthews™ efforts of developing young talent and putting them in a position to execute for institutional-tier clients, proving that our firm’s energy and tech-driven approach consistently outperform traditional market expectations.” For more information, please contact Daniel Gonzalez, Princeton Douglass, Levi Veleanu or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Lists 660K+ Buildable SF Development Site in New York

NEW YORK— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, recently listed Jamaica Development Assemblage located at 149-01 95th Avenue in Queens, New York. The asset is exclusively listed by Matthews™ Executive Vice President DJ Johnston, Vice President Robert Lawrence, and Associate Eli Roerden. Positioned in the heart of Jamaica, Queens, the assemblage will be delivered 100% vacant and offers extensive frontage along both 95th Avenue and 94th Avenue. The site carries the highest density designation under the recently approved Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, a rezoning initiative spanning approximately 230 blocks, and stands as one of the largest redevelopment opportunities to emerge from the rezoning. The initiative is expected to create more than 12,000 new homes, including 4,000 permanently affordable units, along with 2 million square feet of commercial and community facility space and approximately 7,000 new jobs. “Jamaica Development Assemblage represents a rare opportunity to acquire an institutional-scale development site within a transit-rich submarket positioned for significant residential growth,” Johnston said. “We are tracking comparable sales between $75 and $85 per buildable square foot, equating to approximately $50 million to $56 million. Ownership would also consider a ground lease, with base rent guidance of plus or minus $5 per buildable square foot.” Jamaica continues to solidify its position as a major commercial and transportation hub within Queens, supported by strong public infrastructure and ongoing development. Situated in the neighborhood’s downtown core, the property offers immediate access to one of the most connected transit networks in New York City, including the E, J, Z, and F subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road, and the JFK AirTrain. This connectivity continues to attract significant public and private investment, reinforcing Jamaica’s role as a key employment center and a growing destination for residential and mixed-use development.

Matthews™ Capital Markets Secures $22.5M Acquisition Loan for Medical Office Portfolio in California

LOS ANGELES, CA— Matthews™ Capital Markets (MCM), a fully integrated and dedicated financing division of Matthews™, has successfully secured a $22,500,000 acquisition loan for a four-property medical and regional center portfolio, located at 1701 & 1801 Solar Drive, 1901 Rice Ave, and 2401 E Gonzalez Road in Oxnard, California. Matthews™ First Vice President Geoffrey Arrobio handled the loan transaction. Strategically positioned within the Gonzales Corridor, the assets sit two blocks west of St. John’s Regional Medical Center, offering convenient access to the 101 Freeway. The client acquired the 193,066-square-foot portfolio at a 10% cap rate with an occupancy rate of 92%. The loan was secured at highly competitive rates and structured at 60% loan-to-cost, aligning with the buyer’s long-term acquisition strategy and growing medical office portfolio throughout California. Following the acquisition, the buyer plans to execute a value-add business plan that includes expanding certain medical users, interior building upgrades, and implementing energy-efficient systems, including solar. “This transaction demonstrates the strong demand for well-located medical office assets with durable tenancy and clear value-add potential,” Arrobio said. “By leveraging our existing relationships and deep understanding of the financing landscape, we were able to structure a loan that supported the client’s acquisition and long-term portfolio strategy.” For more information, please contact Geoffrey Arrobio or visit www.matthews.com.
