4500 Alexander Blvd. NE | Albuquerque | NM | 87107
4500 Alexander NE, a 101,000 square foot fl ex building, faced significant challenges after its original
single tenant, Value RX, was acquired by Express Scripts. Following the acquisition, Express Scripts
sold the building in a 10-year sale-leaseback transaction to an investment group.
At the end of the leaseback term, Express Scripts downsized from 101,000 sq. ft. to 60,000 sq. ft.,
signing a new five-year lease with an option to contract further. Three years later, Express Scripts
exercised the option, reducing its occupancy to 35,000 sq. ft. The substantial loss of rental income left
the property’s net operating income insufficient to cover debt service. Consequently, the investors
returned the building to the lender via a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Recognizing the potential of the building, the lender engaged REA | Real Estate Advisors to lead a comprehensive leasing strategy aimed at repositioning the asset. The team conducted a detailed market analysis, identifying demand from credit tenants seeking high-quality fl ex space in Albuquerque. They launched an aggressive leasing campaign, offering competitive lease terms while focusing on cost-effective property enhancements to attract tenants. REA also spearheaded negotiations with Express Scripts, securing a critical five-year renewal to stabilize the property’s cash flow.
The following results were achieved within 12 months:
• Two new leases secured with credit tenants, filling over 46,000 square feet of the vacant space.
• Five-year lease renewal with Express Scripts, stabilizing 35,000 square feet of occupancy.
• Increased overall building occupancy to over 80%, restoring the asset’s financial stability.
• Successful sale of the property at a price that covered the original loan balance and reimbursed the lender for lease-up costs.
“The results achieved at 4500 Alexander NE would not have been possible without the expertise and strategic approach of REA | Real Estate Advisors. Their market knowledge, persistence, and ability to execute made the difference in transforming a distressed property into a success story. We are grateful for their partnership and would not hesitate to work with them again.”
