IRA Capital Acquires Class-A Beverly Hills Creative-Office for $153 Million

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IRA Capital ("IRA") is pleased to announce the acquisition of "The Post," a Class-A creative office building located in the heart of Beverly Hills, California. The 102,500 square foot property located at 325 North Maple Drive is 92% leased to Live Nation Entertainment Inc, the world's largest live entertainment promotion and ticketing company with more than 44,000 employees worldwide. The four-story building serves as Live Nation's concerts division headquarters, a mission-critical segment of their operations which accounts for 80% of their consolidated revenue. The remaining 8% of the building is leased to the US Postal Service.

The Post underwent a $44 Million redevelopment in 2019, which incorporates active design elements such as the light-filled open plan featuring 22 ft. ceilings, a large-scale open stairway, and outdoor patios that promote a dynamic workspace ideal for creative collaboration. The highly-amenitized LEED-certified building provides the optimum environment for Live Nation's brand and makes the project one of the most prominent creative-office developments in Beverly Hills. The local office market is recognized as "World Headquarters" for the entertainment and media industries, attracting the most coveted talent/advertising agencies, production companies, and high-tech businesses.

IRA recently sold a 29-property healthcare real estate portfolio to Nuveen Real Estate for $620.4 Million. IRA has also been active in the entertainment/media business through its partnership with Lantern Entertainment as a major investor in Spyglass Media Group. According to IRA Capital co-founder Samir Patel, "the property's irreplaceable location and thriving tenant align with IRA's investment thesis of pursuing best-in-class properties. Despite the impact of COVID-19 on the live entertainment sector, the industry is now experiencing record-setting volumes." IRA is continuing to expand its real estate portfolio in various sectors including healthcare, multifamily, and office with plans to exceed $1 Billion of acquisitions by year-end 2021.
