Matthews™ Senior Vice Presidents & Senior Directors Rahul Chhajed, Michael Moreno, and Vice President & Director Tyler Swade represented the seller in the transaction. “We are happy to announce the closing of a single-tenant ASC directly adjacent to the Methodist Hospital Stone Oak,” Chhajed said. “The 12,719-square-foot property is operated by Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio, an affiliate of GI Alliance, one of the leading independent gastroenterology practice management companies in the country.” Executed as a direct, off-market transaction between two institutional healthcare groups, the Matthews™ agents leveraged their deep industry relationships to bypass a traditional bidding process.

Conversely, the buyer sought to acquire institutional-quality real estate with a high-caliber operator in a premier Texas market. By aligning these two active market participants, the Matthews™ agents ensured a seamless execution from start to close. “This is a property with great real estate fundamentals, and both the seller and buyer are very active players in the healthcare space, so we knew that both parties would work diligently to ensure a successful close,” Moreno said.

Built in 2021, the 3,500-square-foot property is secured by a corporate-guaranteed absolute NNN lease with approximately 10 years of term remaining at the time of sale. The seller, a private investor, brought the asset to market to reposition out of fuel-related operations and into a property better aligned with long-term investment objectives through a 1031 exchange. Matthews™ generated multiple competitive offers and identified the buyer within 48 hours, going under contract in four days. The buyer pursued the acquisition as a depreciation-driven investment and was motivated by a year-end tax timeline, requiring a tightly coordinated process among all parties. The Matthews™ agents worked through the holiday period to maintain due diligence and secure time-sensitive tenant items, including the estoppel, ROFR, and SNDA, ultimately closing the transaction in 48 days from listing to close. “From the start, our priority was to guide every step of the process with the same transparency and urgency we would expect for ourselves,” Tamir said. “By staying focused on the specific needs of both the buyer and seller, we were able to deliver a result that met the buyer’s strict year-end tax requirements and allowed the seller to move successfully into an up-leg that better fits his long-term investment objectives.” For more information, please contact Chad Kurz, Kevin Puder, and Michael Tamir or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Facilitates Benchmark Cap Rate Sale of Chipotle in Tennessee

NASHVILLE, TN— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of a newly constructed Chipotle, located at 1711 Galleria Blvd in Franklin, Tennessee. Matthews™ Senior Associate Ben Burnett represented the seller in the $5,150,000 transaction, which marked a benchmark cap rate of 4.78% for a retail property sold in the Franklin/Cool Springs submarket within the last year. Located in the CoolSprings Crossing Shopping Center, the 1,880-square-foot build-to-suit property is backed by the brand’s first absolute NNN, 20-year lease in the state of Tennessee and includes four five-year renewal options. The seller, a repeat Matthews™ client, acquired the formerly vacant Back Yard Burgers site as a merchant developer and brought the redeveloped asset to market as part of a broader portfolio strategy. Matthews™ has been involved with the asset since 2024, representing two different ownership entities through its evolution from a vacant retail site to a newly developed build-to-suit Chipotle. Leveraging its national net lease platform, the Matthews™ agents executed a targeted marketing process that generated strong investor interest and brought the first qualified buyer under contract who was drawn to the asset’s new construction, long-term lease structure, and premier Cool Springs location. The transaction closed the same week the Chipotle opened for business, enabled by clear communication and a streamlined execution process. “Having represented the ownership through the entire lifecycle of this asset, this closing is a testament to the value of long-term partnership,” said Burnett. “All parties worked closely to navigate a precise timeline, ensuring a seamless transition that met the needs of both the seller and a buyer seeking a high-quality, durable investment in one of Tennessee’s most coveted retail corridors.” For more information, please contact Ben Burnett or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Facilitates Record-Breaking Sale of Caliber Point in Georgia

ATLANTA, GA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of Caliber Point located at 3245 Cobb Parkway Northwest in Acworth, Georgia. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & Senior Director Jared Kaye, Executive Vice President Sonny Molloy, and Associate Bennett Holman represented the seller, a Georgia-based LLC, in the $6,375,000 transaction, which marked the highest sale price for a retail property in Acworth within the last year. The 11,400-square-foot, 100% occupied retail center is positioned along Cobb Parkway, one of Acworth’s primary retail corridors, featuring AT&T, Aspen Dental, and City Nails III. The property benefits from proximity to major national retailers such as Kroger and Lowe’s, supporting consistent traffic and long-term tenant demand. The sale required navigating tenant concentration and near-term rollover, as AT&T and Aspen Dental comprise nearly 80% of the GLA, and both leases expire in 2027. Leveraging the firm’s national platform and targeted marketing process, Matthews™ mitigated investor concerns, including the potential for AT&T to downsize its 5,000-square-foot suite, by generating multiple offers from a broad pool of geographic prospects. Matthews™ sourced the buyer, Curbline Properties, a publicly traded REIT focused exclusively on convenience retail real estate. Supported by a clean due diligence package, the transaction timing aligned with the buyer’s goal of completing its Q4 acquisition allocations, allowing both parties to execute efficiently through closing. The property traded for $550+ per square foot, well above replacement cost, and achieved pricing above the seller’s 2018 basis despite today’s higher interest rates and shorter remaining lease terms. “Demand for well-located convenience retail continues to remain robust,” Kaye said. “Despite some macroeconomic challenges, it was rewarding to help my client come full circle with this investment and exit with a favorable outcome.” For more information, please contact Jared Kaye, Sonny Molloy, and Bennett Holman or visit www.matthews.com.

LOS ANGELES, CA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, continues to assist the rapid expansion of StormBurger, a fast-casual burger chain, with the recent leasing of their 336 Alondra Boulevard location in Compton, California.

The Compton location follows StormBurger’s flagship restaurant, which is currently ranked number one on Yelp’s Top 10 Best Burgers in Inglewood. A second location in Long Beach is expected to open in March 2026 at the corner of Cherry and South. “The Landlord had multiple offers from regional and national tenants, but chose the one unit operator because of its commitment to grow in historically excluded markets and because it was simply the best fast food burger he has ever had.” Mello said. The soon to be 1,457-square-foot drive-thru restaurant space will break ground early 2026 and will serve as the brand’s third brick-and-mortar location. As StormBurger’s exclusive tenant representative, Matthews™ leveraged the firm’s Southern California platform to provide real-time insights on off-market opportunities, landlord sentiment, and emerging submarkets.

Matthews Completes Sale of Governor’s Parc Apartments in Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, AL— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of Governor’s Parc Apartments located at 3800 Governors Dr in Montgomery, Alabama. Matthews™ Senior Vice President Caleb Frizzell represented the seller in the transaction, which marked the highest sale price for a multifamily property in the Outer South/Airport submarket within the last two years. Situated north of Highway 80, the 228-unit property consists of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across 219,496 square feet. Originally built in 1971, the community underwent an extensive $6.5 million value-add renovation in 2022, including new roofs, windows, mechanical systems, parking lot improvements, and exterior and interior upgrades. Average in-place rents are approximately $810 per unit, providing additional runway for continued income growth as the renovated units season and renew at higher rates. The seller engaged Matthews™ to bring the asset to market to capitalize on strong investor demand for renovated multifamily product and reposition capital for future acquisitions. Through targeted marketing outreach, Matthews™ sourced a Washington-based buyer looking to expand their existing Alabama multifamily portfolio. The property went under contract during the final phase of its post-renovation lease-up, and the Matthews™ agent worked closely with ownership and onsite management to align leasing progress with underwriting and financing milestones through closing. “It was a pleasure working with all parties involved to bring this transaction to a successful close. Both the seller and purchaser demonstrated patience and persistence, overcoming several hurdles along the way,” Frizzell said. “The sellers completed a high-quality and thorough rehabilitation project across Governor’s Parc, and it should serve as an example for other operators in the market. I look forward to facilitating further investment in the Montgomery market, from new and existing owners alike.” The buyer was motivated by the opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, stabilized asset at a compelling cost basis and plans to hold the community long term.

Matthews™ Caps Transformational 2025 with Strong Transaction Activity, National Expansion, and AI-Driven Innovation

NASHVILLE, TN — Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, closed out 2025 with continued momentum, marking a year defined by resilience, strategic growth, and milestone achievements across brokerage, capital markets, and technology. As much of the commercial real estate industry continued to navigate elevated rates and uneven transaction velocity, Matthews™ remained focused on delivering superior service and results for clients, while also investing in the people, platforms, and partnerships shaping the next era of brokerage. In 2025, Matthews™ completed $18 billion in total sales across 8,000 transactions. Since its founding, the firm has recorded $84.32 billion in total sales volume and 33,511 complete transactions. Building on this track record, Matthews™ achieved significant year-over-year growth, with revenue increasing 40% in 2024, followed by an additional compounded 40% growth in 2025. “2025 was a defining year for Matthews™,” said David Harrington, President of Matthews™. “The market demanded creativity, persistence, and trust. We leaned into those challenges, strengthened our platform, and delivered results for our clients while continuing to invest in our people and our future.” Growth, Expansion, and Brand Evolution A major milestone in 2025 was Matthews™’ 10-year anniversary, marked by the company’s official transition to Matthews™. A streamlined name and elevated brand identity designed to reflect the firm’s modern, agile, tech-forward position in the market. The updated look and digital-first direction signal a company built for the speed and complexity of today’s environment, without compromising the expertise, hard work, and client-first mindset that defines the firm. The firm also continued its national expansion, including opening a San Francisco office, an office relocation to a large space in Dallas, and the execution of a new office lease in New York, reinforcing the growth presence of Matthews™ coast to coast. As well as announced a strategic partnership with xChange.Loans enhancing its note sales auction capabilities and further diversifying its service offerings. AI and Technology: A Smarter System for Sustained Deal Flow In 2025, Matthews™ doubled down on what it believes will define the next generation of brokerage: technology that elevates productivity and strengthens relationships. As Kyle Matthews describes it, “winning smarter” is about ruthless efficiency, eliminating time spent on low-impact tasks so brokers can devote their energy to revenue-generating activity and client conversations. With the use of AI platform that’s built by brokers for brokers, dealmaking will shift to surfacing opportunities, organizing follow-up, and teeing up the best next actions while keeping the broker focused on the art of brokerage. Matthews™ remains committed to being a tech-driven firm built for speed and intelligence, anchored in the relationships that power long-term client success. “This rebrand wasn’t about changing who we are. It was about showing the industry who we’ve already become,” said Kyle Matthews, Founder and CEO. “We’ve built Matthews™ on collaboration, innovation, and relationships, and 2025 was proof that this model works, even in challenging markets.” Capital Markets Performance Despite one of the most restrictive lending environments since the Global Financial Crisis, Matthews Capital Markets (MCM) delivered another strong year. In 2025, the division closed nearly $1 billion in loan volume and increased revenue over 60% from 2024, while expanding its lender relationships and partnerships. Strategic hires and geographic expansion enhanced MCMs capabilities across multifamily, hospitality, and commercial assets, allowing for secure financing solutions even as debt markets remained constrained.

Matthews™ sourced the opportunity through long-term, research-driven reporting and direct outreach and executed a targeted marketing process, securing a sale to an owner-user buyer who was attracted to the property’s substantial site footprint, strategic location, and long-term flexibility. Shortly after the property was brought to market, SBA-related complications surfaced as a federal government shutdown began, introducing unexpected complexity during escrow. Matthews™ worked closely with all parties to navigate evolving requirements to keep the deal on track through closing. Throughout the process, the Matthews™ agent also explored tax-deferral strategies and potential up-leg alternatives, ultimately supporting a transition into creative solutions aligned with the seller’s objectives. “This deal required persistence and creative problem-solving, particularly as we navigated the intersection of a competitive bidding process and the logistical challenges of a government shutdown,” Stroud said. “By focusing on the unique value of the site and working through tax-deferral considerations, we were able to deliver a strong result for the seller.” For more information, please contact John Stroud or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews Facilitates $28.9 Million 1031 Exchange Transaction

UNITED STATES— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, successfully structured a $28,970,788 exchange on behalf of a client, facilitating the acquisition of nine assets. Matthews™ Market Leader Keegan Mulcahy and Executive Vice President & Managing Director Chad Kurz handled the transaction. The Matthews™ client, a private family, completed the down-leg sale of a generational family farm, prompting the need for a 1031 exchange. The family sought to reinvest the proceeds into safe, passive, long-term net lease investments with the goal of holding the assets for future generations. Ultimately, nine net lease investments were acquired across six states, with 77% of the investment portfolio being sourced off-market by Matthews™. By sourcing deals off-market and leveraging the firm’s national proprietary database, Matthews™ secured favorable pricing and deal terms for the client. “Coordinating multiple decision-makers was a key component of this transaction,” Mulcahy said. “The buyer group included three equal-owner siblings, along with spouses and children, and each had distinct criteria for their allocation. Through a disciplined weekly cadence and constant communication, we kept execution moving efficiently and structured the portfolio to satisfy each requirement while meeting the exchange timeline.” The acquisitions spanned quick-service and fast-casual restaurants, early childhood education, and other net lease verticals in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. “Diversification was central to the strategy,” Kurz said. “By balancing different tenant categories and risk-return profiles across the portfolio, we were able to meet the exchange requirement while building a long-term net lease foundation designed for durable, passive ownership.” For more information, please contact Keegan Mulcahy and Chad Kurz or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews Facilitates Sale of Vallarta Supermarkets in California

BAKERSFIELD, CA— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of a dual-asset portfolio, located at 2301 & 2309 Niles Point in Bakersfield, California. Matthews™ Associate Vice President Jake Linsky and Associate Brendan Tyoran represented the seller in the transaction. The portfolio includes a 24,905-square-foot neighborhood center anchored by Vallarta Supermarkets, along with a 6,325-square-foot drugstore building adjacent to the center. After nearly 15 years of ownership, the seller, a Southern California-based family office, brought the assets to market to consolidate its growing mix of retail, office, and multifamily holdings, having secured a five-year lease extension with both Vallarta Supermarkets and the neighboring tenant. By leveraging click-to-sale technology and outbound marketing, Matthews™ generated a competitive bidding environment that resulted in multiple offers. The buyer, completing a 1031 exchange, was drawn to the long-term stability of the absolute NNN grocery asset and plans to hold the property for cash flow. The transaction required intensive due diligence due to complex lease structures, historical sublease arrangements, and the inclusion of three separately parceled parking lots. Matthews™ worked closely with all parties throughout escrow to reconcile documentation and maintain momentum, ultimately positioning the seller to achieve an exit at more than double its original basis and close within a quick 45-day escrow. “Deals like this come down to staying disciplined in diligence and keeping every party aligned day-to-day,” Tyoran said. “Our job was to create maximum exposure, then manage the details through escrow so the seller could close with certainty and on an accelerated timeline.” For more information, please contact Jake Linsky and Brendan Tyoran or visit www.matthews.com.
