LOS ANGELES, CA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the lease for Chamberlain Coffee, located at 1142 Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice, California. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & National Director Michael Pakravan & Senior Associate Alec Torgan represented the landlord, and Ryan Gurman of CBRE represented the tenant in the transaction. Situated on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in the heart of Venice, the tenant occupies a 1,050-square-foot storefront along one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after retail streets. Known for its curated mix of national, emerging, and lifestyle brands, the corridor draws strong consumer traffic and offers Chamberlain Coffee a prominent location in one of Southern California’s premier shopping destinations. Recognizing the high barriers to entry on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Matthews™ agents leveraged their deep market knowledge and relationships with local dealmakers to quickly identify the right tenant for the vacant space. Chamberlain Coffee ultimately committed to a 10-year lease, bringing a highly sought-after operator to the property. “We maintain a close pulse on the local market and are in constant communication with dealmakers to understand the tenant requirements shaping activity in real time,” Pakravan said. “When the space became available, we knew exactly who to call to align a high-profile brand with a premier vacancy and create significant long-term value for our client.” Founded by influencer-turned-entrepreneur Emma Chamberlain, Chamberlain Coffee has emerged as one of the most recognizable brands in the premium coffee space, driven by its strong lifestyle identity and digitally native consumer following.

Matthews™ Completes Sale-Leaseback of Legacy Brain & Spine Portfolio in Georgia

ATLANTA, GA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale-leaseback of a nine-property medical office portfolio located across Atlanta and Northern Georgia. Matthews™ Vice President & Associate Director Ryan Burke and Senior Vice Presidents & Senior Directors Rahul Chhajed & Michael Moreno represented the seller in the transaction, which marked the highest sale price for a privately owned medical office sale-leaseback portfolio sold in Georgia within the last year. The seller and founder of Legacy Brain & Spine, Dr. Said Elshihabi, sought to capitalize on the 92,200-square-foot portfolio he amassed over years of clinical growth. This transaction allowed the seller to monetize his real estate holdings at an opportune time in the market cycle while securing long-term operational control of the facilities through a long-term NNN lease structure. Due to the various surgery centers and sub-tenant dynamics within the sale-leaseback structure, the Matthews™ agents leveraged their product-specific expertise to navigate the intricate title work and clinical requirements. Through a targeted marketing process, Matthews™ directly sourced a buyer who was attracted to the credibly backed tenancy structure and secured a 45-day closing. “Our deep understanding of clinical operations allowed us to bridge the gap between a high-caliber operator and a sophisticated buyer,” Burke said. “By maintaining a relentless pace and clear communication, we were able to navigate every hurdle and secure an ideal outcome for both Dr. Elshihabi and Reliant Net Lease.” Reliant Net Lease acquired the portfolio as part of its strategy to grow its net lease holdings through high-quality healthcare real estate backed by an established operator.

Matthews™ Completes Sale of STNL IOS Facility in Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of an STNL industrial outdoor storage (IOS) facility, located at 7925 & 7985 Industry Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Matthews™ Vice President Spencer Mason and Associate Jack Kuzio represented the buyer in the transaction. Positioned on a strong corner lot in the Northeast submarket, the 24,000-square-foot property features rare I-3 industrial zoning, a fully paved yard, covered parking, and a low 9% coverage ratio, providing significant outdoor storage functionality. The 6.07-acre asset has been occupied by a global telecommunications company since the 1980s and is leased under an Absolute NNN structure with more than five years on the remaining term. Matthews™ directly sourced the buyer, a repeat client with whom the firm has completed several similar IOS transactions. Leveraging its existing relationship and familiarity with the buyer’s acquisition criteria, the Matthews™ agents identified the asset as a strong fit for the buyer’s expanding Colorado IOS portfolio. By securing an all-cash offer that provided certainty of close and expedited the escrow timeline, Matthews™ maintained close coordination between both parties throughout the process to ensure a smooth closing. “The acquisition of 7925 & 7985 Industry Rd highlights the continued demand for well-located, low-coverage IOS sites leased to strong national tenants, particularly those offering passive ownership through Absolute NNN lease structures,” Mason said. “Assets with this combination of long-term tenancy, functional yard space, and rare zoning remain highly attractive to investors seeking durable industrial opportunities.” For more information, please contact Spencer Mason, Jack Kuzio, or visit www.matthews.com.

Blog Image for Matthews Walmart Portfolio Closing

Matthews™ Completes All-Cash Sale of $30M Walmart Portfolio in GA and SC

TAMPA, FL— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a Walmart Portfolio, located at 108 S Westover Blvd in Albany, Georgia, 801-AE General Stewart Way in Hinesville, Georgia, and 680 Old Greenville Hwy in Clemson, South Carolina. Matthews™ First Vice President and Associate Director Daniel Gonzalez, and Associates Princeton Douglass & Levi Veleanu represented the buyer in the $30,478,338 transaction. The 124,197-square-foot portfolio is comprised of three single-tenant retail assets secured by long-term leases with Walmart, an investment-grade tenant with a high credit profile and market dominance. Because Walmart owns the vast majority of its real estate and often exercises its Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on leased locations, acquiring Walmart-leased properties presents a meaningful barrier to entry for buyers looking to avoid above-market exchange premiums. Leveraging the firm’s proprietary database and institutional relationships, Matthews™ sourced a qualified institutional buyer within hours of learning of the seller’s intent to dispose of the assets. The publicly traded retail owner was attracted to the portfolio’s investment-grade stability and the rare opportunity to acquire multiple Walmart-anchored assets at market pricing to expand its high-quality holdings. The transaction allowed the seller, a private institutional multifamily owner, to facilitate a 1031 exchange into multifamily properties, aligning with their core business strategy. Despite the complexities of navigating varying ROFR timelines, the Matthews™ agents diligently maintained close coordination between both parties to ensure an all-cash, 40-day close that balanced the seller’s need for a quick timeline with the buyer’s focus on favorable pricing “This was a high-stakes negotiation involving two institutional entities with deep market knowledge,” Gonzalez said. “I am incredibly proud of Douglass and Veleanu who displayed a level of persistence and sophistication that ensured this all-cash deal reached the finish line on an unbeatable timeline. It’s a testament to Matthews™ efforts of developing young talent and putting them in a position to execute for institutional-tier clients, proving that our firm’s energy and tech-driven approach consistently outperform traditional market expectations.” For more information, please contact Daniel Gonzalez, Princeton Douglass, Levi Veleanu or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Lists 660K+ Buildable SF Development Site in New York

NEW YORK— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, recently listed Jamaica Development Assemblage located at 149-01 95th Avenue in Queens, New York. The asset is exclusively listed by Matthews™ Executive Vice President DJ Johnston, Vice President Robert Lawrence, and Associate Eli Roerden. Positioned in the heart of Jamaica, Queens, the assemblage will be delivered 100% vacant and offers extensive frontage along both 95th Avenue and 94th Avenue. The site carries the highest density designation under the recently approved Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, a rezoning initiative spanning approximately 230 blocks, and stands as one of the largest redevelopment opportunities to emerge from the rezoning. The initiative is expected to create more than 12,000 new homes, including 4,000 permanently affordable units, along with 2 million square feet of commercial and community facility space and approximately 7,000 new jobs. “Jamaica Development Assemblage represents a rare opportunity to acquire an institutional-scale development site within a transit-rich submarket positioned for significant residential growth,” Johnston said. “We are tracking comparable sales between $75 and $85 per buildable square foot, equating to approximately $50 million to $56 million. Ownership would also consider a ground lease, with base rent guidance of plus or minus $5 per buildable square foot.” Jamaica continues to solidify its position as a major commercial and transportation hub within Queens, supported by strong public infrastructure and ongoing development. Situated in the neighborhood’s downtown core, the property offers immediate access to one of the most connected transit networks in New York City, including the E, J, Z, and F subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road, and the JFK AirTrain. This connectivity continues to attract significant public and private investment, reinforcing Jamaica’s role as a key employment center and a growing destination for residential and mixed-use development.

NASHUA, NH— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a retail property located at 166 Daniel Webster Highway in Nashua, New Hampshire. Matthews™ First Vice President and Associate Director Daniel Gonzalez and Associate Nikolai Novak represented the buyer in the $8,800,000 transaction. Originally developed by the seller, the 44,000-square-foot retail property was brought to market after a 20+ year hold. Initially listed at $10,000,000 with a local firm, the asset had remained available for more than two years with limited activity. Leveraging proprietary technology and a national database, the Matthews™ agents generated three off-market offers and ultimately sourced a private client from Massachusetts seeking a large-scale retail investment. The transaction closed 12% below the initial asking price, allowing the seller to successfully exit the asset and the buyer to acquire the property at a competitive basis for long-term ownership. “This transaction highlights the power of our technology and national reach in unlocking value for clients,” Novak said. “By expanding the buyer pool beyond localized efforts, we were able to bring qualified, out-of-state interest to a long-stagnant listing and secure a favorable outcome for both parties, even in challenging market conditions.” For more information, please contact Nikolai Novak and Daniel Gonzalez or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Facilitates Sale of Dollar General Portfolio Across Eight States

UNITED STATES— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of a Dollar General portfolio, located across eight states in the Southeast, Midwest, and Northeast. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & Senior Director Clay Smith and Senior Associate Gannon Ethington represented the seller in the transaction. The 17-property portfolio features absolute NNN lease structures and a 10.2-year weighted average lease term, providing durable cash flow from a national credit tenant. Through a targeted marketing process, the Matthews™ agents generated a competitive bidding environment and directly sourced the buyer, an institutional REIT. The transaction closed at 98.8% of the list price, maximizing value for the seller while providing the buyer with a scaled portfolio of long-term net-leased assets. “The demand for high-quality net-leased assets, particularly those backed by strong corporate tenants like Dollar General, remains robust. We were able to navigate a complex multi-state portfolio sale and deliver exceptional results for our client by leveraging our direct relationships and deep market knowledge,” Ethington said.

WASHINGTON D.C.— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, announced the opening of its new office located at 4800 Montgomery Lane in Bethesda, Maryland. The 5,239-square-foot space will expand the firm’s presence in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, further strengthening its national footprint and reinforcing its coast-to-coast reach. Matthews™ has held a long-standing track record in the Mid-Atlantic and first established its local presence in Washington, D.C. with the strategic hires of Senior Vice President & Director Josh Ein in 2023 and Executive Vice President Ed Laycox in 2025. Together, the two seasoned veterans have sold over 400 transactions totaling $2 billion across single-tenant and multi-tenant retail. Last year, the firm expanded its presence with the addition of Senior Associate Ethan Edmiston, who relocated from the firm’s Nashville headquarters. Edmiston will lead the government services division, focusing on properties leased to county, state, and federal agencies. Market Leader Jeff Perkins says he expects headcount to exceed 20 agents by June 2026, as the firm continues expanding its coverage throughout the region. Looking ahead, Matthews™ aims to grow to more than 50 producers in the coming years, encompassing all asset classes and service lines. “Opening our Bethesda office marks a pivotal milestone in our continued growth in Washington, D.C., the DMV, and the broader Mid-Atlantic,” Perkins said. “As in every market we enter, our focus is on providing superior service to both our clients and agents. We are beyond excited to bring our relentless work ethic and execution to one of the most influential markets in the world.” Bill Pedersen, Regional President of the East, says the firm’s Bethesda flagship is a direct reflection of Matthews’™ continued national growth and commitment to entering markets that matter most. “The Mid-Atlantic and Washington, D.C. corridor represents an enormous opportunity, from government-leased assets and institutional capital to private investors deploying capital across every asset class, Pedersen said. “We are excited to bring the full weight of our platform to bear in this region. The opportunity in this corridor is significant, and we’re positioned to capitalize on it for years to come.” The Class A office space delivers a high-quality environment for agents and clients in the heart of Bethesda, located one block west of the Red Line station and just north of Bethesda Row, Matthews™ new office on 4800 Montgomery Lane positions the firm at the intersection of government, institutional capital, and private investment in one of the region’s most dynamic commercial real estate markets.
