Office & Medical Office Property Sales
We introduced a first time buyer to Detroit and Michigan
with this property from New York after many local buyers
shied away from this deal quickly due to a short-term
anchor tenant lease. The buyer closed this deal and has
since successfully negotiated a lease extension with the
anchor and closed a new loan.
This was our third
successful sale for GE Capital and first of several to this
buyer who continue to be active in Michigan and the
Midwest today.
CADILLAC TOWER
Client – GE Capital Real Estate
Detroit, Michigan
High Rise Office Building
339,274 Square Feet
We represented the buyer who was looking to get into the
competitive Chicago market but wanted to find a deal
where they could use their management and leasing
expertise to improve a building. 216 W. Jackson is well
located near the Sears Tower and we were able to assist
the buyer in acquiring a deal where they can improve
occupancy and reduce expenses on a project that enjoys
an excellent location.
216 W. JACKSON OFFICE BUILDING
Chicago, Illinois
Mid-Rise Office Building

Office & Medical Office Property Sales (continued)
When Aetna (Allegis) did not know of a solid broker in
Columbus, they called on us because we had a strong
track record with them in Michigan. We quickly talked to
appraisers and assessors and got up to speed on who
was buying deals in Columbus. We worked with our local
NAI office in Columbus. Our first sale in Columbus was a
success and we closed with the first buyers we suggested
to the seller to go with.
SPECTRUM COMMERCE CENTER
Client – Aetna
Dublin (Columbus), Ohio
Office/Flex Space
134,253 Square Feet
Comerica Bank had foreclosed on this poorly occupied
property and wanted to dispose of it with certainty and in a
prompt fashion. Having handled other successful deals for
them in Michigan, they knew we would not let them down
in Florida. We interviewed several buyers to insure that we
had a qualified closer, spoke with his financial references,
and got the deal closed in 30 days.
CORAL SPRINGS TRADE CENTER
Coral Springs, Florida
Office Building
115,000 Square Feet
Client – Comerica Bank
The Information contained herein has been given to us by the owner of the property or other sources we deem

Industrial & Flex Property Sales
We introduced a first time buyer to Detroit and Michigan
with this property who teamed with a local Management
Partner, The Sterling Group, to take on this 1.2 Million
Square Foot Industrial Center.
The buyer separated
themselves from other buyers by coming in with a quick
due diligence, 15 days, and a quick close, 15 days.
Moving this fast puts a lot of pressure on the Seller to
perform and we were ready. We quickly put together all
the due diligence materials, setting up every inspection and
obtaining every Estoppel within that short time frame. This
was our second successful sale for CAPMARK (formerly
GMAC Commercial Mortgage).
GATEWAY INDUSTRIAL CENTER
Client – CAPMARK (formerly GMAC Commercial Mortgage)
Detroit, Michigan
Multi-Tenant Industrial Park
1.2 Million Square Feet
The Discovery Center was a well-built property that was
foreclosed on by a major lender. The project was being
sold in an interest rate climate where the rates were high.
We found a well-qualified, local buyer who put a substantial
amount down, and negotiated a short-term loan (1 year) to
get the deal closed but did not require the seller to wait too
long for its total proceeds.
THE DISCOVERY CENTER
Client – Chase
Farmington Hills, Michigan
3 Flex/Industrial Building Portfolio
164,100 Square Feet
The Information contained herein has been given to us by the owner of the property or other sources we deem
reliable. We have no reason to doubt its accuracy, but we do not guarantee it.

In cooperation with our Cleveland partner NAI Daus, we
assisted the buyer in identifying this deal with good upside.
Selling properties in the Midwest can be challenging given
that some investors view it as a difficult market. It is even
tougher to sell deals in smaller Midwestern towns such as
Akron. We have tremendous experience and a long track
record in bringing out-of-town investment to the Midwest
as we know the strengths of the area well. We were able to
convince an institutional buyer with a local partner to look
at the tremendous opportunity in Akron. The local partner
has strong management and leasing expertise in the area
and brought those talents to the deal to improve the
performance of this large industrial complex.
9 BUILDING INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIO
Client – Exclusive Buyer Representation
Canton (Akron), Ohio
Industrial Warehouse
1,800,000 Square Feet
With their new relationship with The Sterling Group and
taste for better returns in the Midwest, they went on to their
second acquisition in Michigan with another deal with
CAPMARK. The success and ease of the Gateway deal
opened up the door for a quick marketing effort and
another great buyer selection with Hager Pacific.
Although the major tenant was Ford Motor Company,
we were able to find several buyers that were willing to
look past the poor automotive headlines to truly
evaluate the tenant and site to offer strong values.
Again, Hager Pacific offered similar due diligence and
closing performance to differentiate themselves from
several other suitors on a highly desirable offering. With
over ten offers, it was our knowledge and comfort of their
historical performance that won them this deal.
FAIRLANE COMMERCE PARK
Client – CAPMARK (formerly GMAC Commercial Mortgage)
Dearborn, Michigan
Multi-Tenant Flex Space Portfolio
190,000 Square Feet

Multi-Housing & Hospitality Property Sales
By tracking various investor trends in acquisitions through
our office and NAI Global, we were aware Equity
Residential was desirous of expanding in South Florida
very aggressively. Although it was a small deal for them,
we persuaded them that this would be a strong acquisition
to compliment other deals they were looking at in the area.
This helped them build up a large portfolio in the area
quickly.
VILLAGE GREEN APARTMENTS
Client – Camden Properties
Palm Beach, Florida
151 Units, Apartments
When PNC Bank wanted help in selling a distressed hotel
and resort, they called on their friends in Michigan to
dispose of it in a soft Pocono Mountains market. We had
enjoyed a strong relationship with PNC on the lending side
and they knew they could count on us for the disposition of
this project.
CHATEAU AT CAMELBACK
Client – PNC Bank
Tannersville, Pennsylvania
152 Room Hotel/Resort

We represented Centerline Capital Group to sell this large deal
in a tough neighborhood of Northwest Detroit. Through a wide
spread marketing outreach, we secured an international investor
to purchase the asset. The result was a price substantially
higher than offers the seller had received on a potential note
sale.
FRENCH QUARTER APARTMENTS
Client – Centerline Capital Group
Detroit, Michigan
476 Units, Multi-Family Portfolio
NAI Farbman acted as Court Appointed receivers to protect the
asset for Capmark Financial Group, putting a multi-family
management expert in place to stabilize the asset. Working
together to make strategic capital investments, occupancy was
improved from approximately 70% to 95% at the time of sale.
NAI Farbman Investment Sales was able to bring a uniquely
qualified group to the deal that was able to close the deal amidst
the challenging credit markets and negotiate around the
concerns of the small town market and multiple site-specific
challenges.
MULBERRY LANE & ROBIN OAKS
Client – Capmark
Midland, Michigan
396 Units, Apartment Portfolio

Retail Sales
We introduced a California based buyer, Capstone
Advisors, to its first enclosed mall purchase. Working with
our NAI Partners in Indiana, the buyer we found had an
aggressive mindset and closed very quickly so they could
get in place promptly to move this turnaround opportunity
forward. This was our second enclosed mall sale for ING.
CONCORD MALL
Elkhart, Indiana
600,000 sf
Client – ING Real Estate
Westshore Mall in Holland, Michigan needed a facelift and
the Seller preferred to have a Buyer take on the task of
doing it. While the client’s goal was to sell it quickly, we
were faced with a poorly occupied center and one missing
anchor tenant.
While trying to sell the project, we
simultaneously sought out prospective tenants and then
passed on those possible prospects to the buyer to help
consummate the deal.

Randall Park Mall in Canton, Ohio was a tired center that
had recently lost an anchor tenant. We successfully
reduced expenses at the site while keeping occupancy at
the highest possible levels during the disposition effort. We
produced several leasing letters of intent to help assist in
successfully consummating a sale to an “All Cash Buyer”.
RANDALL PARK MALL
North Randall (Cleveland), Ohio
1,473,144 sf, Regional Mall
Client – Natixis
East Bay in Largo, Florida was a tired center that needed
rehabilitation. While the client’s goal was to sell it quickly,
we were faced with a poorly occupied center and a
missing anchor tenant. While trying to sell the project, we
simultaneously sought out proposed anchor tenants and
then passed on those possible prospects to the buyer to
help consummate the deal.
