CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Nov 29, 2011) - Newcastle Limited has acquired a 7,100-square-foot retail condominium located at 6 North Michigan Avenue in an all-cash deal for $10.1 million. Newcastle purchased the property on behalf of the firm's $500 million Chicago real estate investment platform. Doug Renner and Anthony Campagni of Baum Realty represented the seller in the transaction.
The property is at the base of a 120-unit, high-end condominium building located at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Madison Street, across from Chicago's Millennium Park, which attracts more than 4 million visitors annually. The property is 100% leased to two national tenants: Starbucks, which opened in September, and Panera Bread Co., scheduled to open in November.
"We were attracted to the property because of its high-visibility location on Michigan Avenue and the long-term leases with Starbucks and Panera," said Michael R. Haney, president and CEO of Newcastle Limited. "The purchase of 6 N. Michigan marks our twelfth acquisition so far this year."
