Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust Acquires Miami Beach Parking Garage

February 5, 2014

Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust, Inc., (the “Company”), an institutionally-managed, non-listed, daily valued perpetual life REIT, today announced it acquired South Beach Garage (locally referred to as Pelican Garage), a seven-level parking structure containing 340 parking spaces and 3,350 square feet of street-level retail located in Miami Beach, FL. The retail space is 100 percent leased to a single tenant. The total purchase price was approximately $22 million with an estimated capitalization rate based on purchase price of 6.1 percent. The Company has engaged LAZ Parking, one of the largest parking operators in the U.S., to manage the garage.

The property is located on highly trafficked Collins Avenue in the heart of South Beach’s vibrant Art Deco neighborhood. In addition to being one block from the beach, the garage is surrounded by numerous hotels, nightclubs, residential towers, retail destinations, and entertainment venues. Because of its location, the garage has multiple revenue generators including hourly, monthly and valet parkers.

“This acquisition adds income diversification to the portfolio, providing a potential hedge against inflation with the opportunity for revenue growth through enhanced marketing and operations," commented Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust. “This is a rare opportunity to purchase a parking garage in Miami Beach’s South Beach neighborhood. With supply constraints and increasing demand, the property should deliver reliable current cash flow and the opportunity for value appreciation over time.”


Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust is a non-listed, daily valued perpetual life real estate investment trust (REIT) that provides investors access to a growing portfolio of commercial real estate investments selected by an institutional investment management team and sponsored by one of the world’s leading real estate services firms.
