Menlo Group Negotiates Sale of Tempe Office Space for $4.1M

Tempe, AZ, October 11, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Menlo Group Commercial Real Estate has successfully negotiated the sale of two built-out office buildings that total nearly 25,000 sq. ft. The buildings, which were constructed in 2001, are located at 850 & 858 W. Elliot Rd. in Tempe, Ariz.

GreenTree Hospitality Group Inc., a leading owner, operator and franchisor with over 2,500 hotels worldwide, purchased the buildings for $4.1 million from renowned local homebuilder, T.W. Lewis.

“We are excited about the opportunity to relocate the U.S.-based GreenTree Inn franchise operations headquarters to this beautiful property in Tempe,” said Kevin Brooks, managing director of GreenTree Hospitality Group. “This purchase transaction was one of the smoothest I have ever been involved with. The ownership group and the Menlo Group advisors were extremely professional throughout the process and a pleasure to work with."

The property, which is prominently located on Elliot Rd. near the I-10, Sky Harbor Airport and two GreenTree Inn locations, will serve as corporate office space for GreenTree Hospitality Group as the company expands throughout the Southwest. Current tenants will continue to occupy the other suites.

GreenTree Hospitality Group was represented by Menlo Group Vice President Steve Berghoff, who worked with the hotel company on two previous transactions.

“I am pleased to have helped GreenTree acquire this outstanding office building in a highly desired market,” Berghoff said. “This is a signature property with an incredible attention to detail, and I’m excited to see how this new space will benefit GreenTree’s growth plans.”

Menlo Group President Tanner Milne and Senior Vice President Grafton Milne worked with T.W. Lewis to find a buyer for the buildings.

“After being on the market for over two years, we pursued a brokerage that was more personable, reliable and results-oriented,” said Christa Cooper, designated broker and vice president at T.W. Lewis. “Menlo Group’s negotiating skills and attention to detail made this transaction smooth and profitable.”
