International real estate investment and services firm Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW) today announced that it added a supplemental loan to the existing financing on Summer House Apartments, a 615-unit multifamily community that it acquired with one of its investment partners in 2010. On December 31, 2012, the company and its partner closed a $19.4 million Freddie Mac loan arranged by Berkeley Point Capital. Including this transaction, the financing on Summer House now totals $90.2 million at a fixed rate of 4.44% and maturity on November 1, 2020. Kennedy Wilson’s initial investment in the property was $2.8 million. Through this financing and previous property cash flow, the company has received a total of $3.8 million of distributions. Kennedy Wilson invested 15% of the equity in this property and, based on the distributions to date, is receiving 30% of current distributions due to its promoted interest in the property.

“This transaction exemplifies the company’s ability to produce profits in a variety of ways,” said William McMorrow, chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson. “We were able to take advantage of current financing opportunities and return the company’s original equity while maintaining ownership in a property located in a growing market. Additionally, we were able to sell a property in the same area that we believe has reached its stabilized value.”

On December 28, 2012, Kennedy Wilson, through its KW Property Fund III, completed the sale of Rutherford Townhomes, a 66-unit apartment property in Napa, California, for $8.7 million. The company’s KW Property Fund III originally purchased the asset for $6.6 million in 2009, producing a 1.7x gross equity multiple after the sale. Kennedy Wilson owns approximately 12% of the fund before its promoted interest.

LOS ANGELES, Mar 16, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Kilroy Realty Corporation


/quotes/zigman/171049/quotes/nls/krc KRC
-0.59%



today announced that
it has priced its public offering of 4,000,000 shares of 6.875% Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, plus accrued
dividends, if any. The offering is expected to close on Tuesday, March
27, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. Dividends on the
Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will be paid quarterly in
arrears on the 15th day of each February, May, August and
November, commencing May 15, 2012 at a rate of 6.875% annually of the
stated liquidation value of $25.00 per share, which is equivalent to
$1.71875 per share on an annualized basis.

The underwriters for the public offering have been granted a 30-day
option to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to cover overallotments, if any.
The Company intends to file an application to list the Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on the New York Stock Exchange. If
the application is approved, trading of the Series G Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to
begin within 30 days after the initial issuance of the Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Wells Fargo Securities, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner Smith
Incorporated, Barclays Capital, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
are acting as joint book-running managers. The estimated net proceeds
from the offering are expected to be approximately $96.4 million, after
deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated expenses, but
before giving effect to any exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment
option.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem
a portion of the outstanding shares of its 7.80% Series E Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock and 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock and for other general corporate purposes, which may
include acquiring properties and repaying outstanding indebtedness,
including borrowings under our operating partnership’s unsecured
revolving credit facility. The Company plans to redeem all of its
outstanding shares of Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and
Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on April 16, 2012 for an
aggregate redemption price of approximately $126.5 million, plus accrued
dividends. Accordingly, because the net proceeds the Company receives
from this offering will not be sufficient to redeem all of the
outstanding shares of its Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
and Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and because the
Company may elect to apply a portion of such net proceeds for purposes
other than such redemption, the Company plans to finance the remaining
portion of the redemption price of the Series E Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock and Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with
cash on hand or borrowings under the credit facility, or both.

This offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration
statement and prospectus and related prospectus supplement filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these securities in any

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

Moving and Storage Company Gentle Giant Moving Company, an award winning local and interstate mover, today announced that revenues for its San Francisco regional operations, known in the Bay Area as Great Giant, exceeded expectations for the first six months of business. Aggressive goals were set for the regional office based on the San Francisco real estate market, competition from numerous other moving companies with established reputations in the area, as well as the consistent growth of the company’s other West Coast Seattle Moving Company Gentle Giant in Seattle, Wash.

After formally establishing a local moving presence in the Bay area in February of 2011 with a branch on the Central Waterfront area of San Francisco, Great Giant has experienced steady growth in revenue and demand for its professional moving services. A strong local renters market combined with positive word-of-mouth have helped enable the company to increase the number of jobs, as well as the number of employees in the region. Great Giant Moving Company now employs 5 highly trained moving crew members and drivers.

The Boston based Gentle Giant has leveraged its highly successful long distance moving business with its desire to grow local moving service for Great Giant in San Francisco by working in tandem with Regional Manager Brandon Sparks on interstate moving jobs whenever the opportunity arises

“Although local moves are new for Great Giant in San Francisco,” Sparks explained, “we have been working throughout this community for years via Gentle Giant’s interstate business. Many folks in San Francisco know the GG brand, and the high quality service that goes with it.”

The company’s even growth and the spreading of its positive reputation and has been spurred by the strong internet user community in the San Fran area who frequently write about their positive experiences with Great Giant on popular review sites such as Yelp and Angie’s List. In addition, the company has immersed itself in the community by becoming involved in events like the SharkFest Swim and the Escape the Rock Triathlon.

“I helped develop Gentle Giant’s positive presence in Seattle,” noted Sparks, “and the key is providing a superb work environment for our people. This allows us to focus on creating life-long loyalty in our customers, and I’m delighted that we have such a great opportunity for success in San Francisco.”

Gentle Giant has been serving its customers with a blend of high quality care and speedy, athletic ability that differentiates the company in the industry. The award winning mover has operated for more than 30 years, but it was not until 2005 that the company expanded outside of New England. Its strategy in new regions is to start small and build a strong reputation by changing what people expect from a moving company.

“The mission of Gentle Giant is to create a positive experience through great service and to create growth opportunities for employees,” said Gentle Giant Founder and CEO Larry O’Toole. “The company invests in solid, proven employees like Brandon and his team, and our customers benefit from that.”

focused on renewable and sustainable energy technologies. The company has licensed patented waste heat to electric power generation technology and is driving its adoption by power plants, landfills and other waste-heat generating industries. GDT Tek’s waste heat to electricity systems are powerful enough to serve as a primary energy source, highly efficient, immediately cash-flow positive when installed under a Power Purchase Agreement and are scalable with system sizes from 150 KW/Hr to 5000 KW/Hr currently available. The GDT Tek system has been proven through a long-term five year installation at a San Jose, California-area landfill. Waste heat captured from landfill-generated methane gas generator engine exhaust and radiator jacket coolant systems is used by the GDT Tek system to generate electricity which is then sold to the grid. Professor Robert W. Dibble of the University of California at Berkeley assessed the GDT Tek system and stated that “Of the many technologies that I have evaluated over the course of the past several decades, GDT Tek’s heat to power conversion solution has proven to be the most reliable, versatile, efficient, lowest emissions, and overall cost-effective solution available in today’s changing world market.”
