SAN FRANCISCO, CA - HFF announced today the sale of Pacific Commons Shopping Center, an 865,783-square-foot regional power center in Fremont, California.

               Noted as one of the largest power centers in Northern California, HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, an affiliate of Catellus Development Corporation, a TPG Real Estate investment.  Heitman purchased the asset which was subject to an existing loan.

               Pacific Commons Shopping Center is located at the southwest corner of Interstate 880 and Auto Mall Parkway. 

Completed in phases between 2004 and 2006, the center is part of a larger approximately 1.2 million-square-foot retail development situated within an 840-acre mixed-use master planned community that also includes 1.1 million square feet of office/R&D and light industrial space, an 11-dealership auto mall, 440-acre wetland preserve and a 153-acre land parcel with entitlements for 3.4 million square feet of additional office, R&D and retail.

Situated on 79.2 acres, Pacific Commons Shopping Center is approximately 97 percent leased and is anchored by tenants such as Lowe’s, Costco, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Staples, Kohl’s, DSW, Target (NAP) and Cinemark Century Theaters (NAP).

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by managing director Nicholas Bicardo and director Mark Damiani along with managing director Bryan Ley.

“In addition to being the most dominant and highest quality retail center within a 10-mile radius, Pacific Commons represented one of the only opportunities of 2013 to deploy $100+ million of equity into a core retail asset in Northern California in an environment where there continues to be absolute dearth of product,” said Bicardo. 

Catellus Development Corporation is an Oakland, California-based national leader in mixed-use development.
