Nicholas Coo and Dennis Vaccaro, senior managing directors with Faris Lee Investments, represented the seller/developer, La Habra Town Center, LLC from Newport Beach, Calif.

The buyer for Union Bank was LH Property, LLC and was represented by David Sternberg of Roessler Investment Group. It sold at a 5.4 percent cap rate.

“Faris Lee Investments proposed a break-up sales strategy to the seller in order to maximize the cumulative sales price of the assets,” said Vaccaro. “Despite the additional work of two individual deals as opposed to just one, our experience with these complex transactions enabled us to meet the challenging year-end closing requirement of the seller as well.”

Anchored by Albertson’s and Rite-Aid, which were not a part of the sales, the property is located at the highly trafficked, signalized intersection of N. Beach Boulevard and W. Whittier Boulevard which sees more than 67,000 vehicles per day. The surrounding market area features over 414,000 consumers living within a 5-mile radius, with an average household income in excess of $91,000.

Located at Orange County’s northernmost corner, La Habra is 7.3 square miles with a population of 61,789 and approximately 21,000 households. It is conveniently located within an hour’s drive of many beaches, mountain, and desert recreation areas.
