SOLD! Value Add Retail Strip Center Listing in the Heart of Garden Grove Koreatown

9252 Garden Grove Blvd., Garden Grove, CA

This value add retail strip center is ripe for an owner to properly manage the property as the tenant mix can be improved, rents are under market, and the owner is not collecting CAM expense. The property consists of 4 buildings and tenants totaling 21,368 SF on a large 1.87 acre lot which would allow for development opportunity. There are 3 restaurant/café tenants that drive traffic to the property. There is great upside potential with increased rent and CAM reimbursement as the tenants were mostly leased up during the pandemic. Property is 100% leased with some tenant leases expired or expiring soon.

SOLD ABOVE LIST PRICE! Class A Office Building in Jeffrey Office Park (1150 Roosevelt Avenue, Irvine, CA)

Those looking to purchase an office building in Irvine know that there is not a lot of supply out there.  I recently helped a client sell their 4,960 square foot office building for above list price to an investor!  The transaction highlights include a 1031 exchange component, negotiation of a leaseback from the buyer, and facilitating the release of rights of first refusal held by an existing tenant and the Irvine Company.  Given my legal background, these tasks were not difficult to accomplish for the client.

Do not hesitate to call me with any questions about buying or selling a similar property!

Downtown LA: New Wilshire Grand Design Released

Keep your eyes out for the new Wilshire Grand appearing in the downtown Los Angeles skyline.  The tower is expected to be approximately 1,100 feet tall (100 feet taller than downtown Los Angeles’ current tallest building, the US Bank tower) and to be completed in 2017 (looks like I have a few years before I have to update my website photos).  The new Wilshire Grand is expected to add 900 hotel rooms and 400,000 square feet of office space to downtown Los Angeles.  For comparison, the JW Marriot Hotel and Ritz Carleton, the first skyscraper built in downtown in two decades, added approximately 1,000 hotel rooms in 2010.
