REAL ESTATE $50M recap parts Windsor office complex's clouds Four years ago, the Addison Corporate Center in Windsor, home to several big Connecticut corporate tenants, was mired in law- suits over millions in alleged missing rents and recriminations between ownership and tenant/investors. Today, the 605,000-square-foot office complex at 175 Addison Road has a new sponsor, several new tenants, and a $50 million recapitalization that includes funds earmarked for extensive im- provements to the property, officials say. Versant Commercial Brokerage, based in San Diego, Calif., an- nounced last week that it assisted Addison's tenant-in-common (TIC) investors in obtaining new senior debt, mezzanine debt and preferred equity. Moreover, since it was brought in earlier this year to stabilize the office complex, Versant claims Addison's occupancy has risen to about 96 percent from 74 percent. One of the new tenants, Verdant said, is aeroparts supplier Tri- umph Group, which signed for about 88,000 square feet. Also, existing tenant Belcan Engineering Group renewed its lease and committed to adding another 9,500 square feet to its current 65,500-square-foot Addison footprint, officials said. In addition, travel agency Quest Global Services, which oc- cupied 17,323 square feet, has expanded its space by 45,777 square feet. September housing, condo sales fall Connecticut single-family home sales slid 3.6 percent while condo sales plummeted by 14.8 percent in September, according to the Warren Group, publisher of the Commercial Record. Timothy Warren, CEO of The Warren Group, called the third quarter housing market "lackluster" and its condo market "soft." A total of 2,814 single-family homes sold compared with 2,919 in Sept. 2015. Only 686 condos sold, down from 805 in Sept. 2015. At the same time, the median price for a single-family home rose 2.3 percent to $250,000, compared with $244,400 a year ago. The median sale price for condos in September decreased by 6.1 percent to $165,000, compared to $175,740 in Sept. 2015.
