Escondido, CA – MCA Realty, a full service real estate investment and management company based in Orange County, California, has acquired a 40,990 square-foot multi-tenant industrial asset in the North San Diego submarket of Escondido, California. 

The firm acquired the property for $5.9 million.

“We have been extremely active in multiple geographies throughout the Western region over the last several years and are now expanding our portfolio into San Diego with this acquisition and are looking to acquire more assets in the region over time,” explains Tyler Mattox, Principal at MCA Realty.

Tucker Hohenstein
“North County San Diego, in particular, has quickly emerged as one of San Diego’s tightest industrial submarkets.

Industrial vacancy in San Diego overall has remained below five percent since 2015, and this number has manifested itself in consistent rent growth,” says Mattox. 

“Industrial users throughout the region continue to expand in markets such as Escondido, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Oceanside and Vista. This will drive long-term demand for properties and drive rent growth over the next several years.”

Conor Boyle
The multi-tenant industrial property acquired by MCA consists of two buildings with a total of thirteen suites, two of which are vacant. MCA Realty plans to renovate the existing vacant space, as well as update individual suites as leases roll. MCA has also planned some exterior aesthetic upgrades and increased identity signage.

“The rents at the property are currently well-below today’s market, which provides us with strong upside potential,” says Mattox. “Improving and updating the buildings will enable us to quickly lease vacant space and bring remaining rents up to market.”

Jared Gordon
The property is located at 2750 Auto Park Way in Escondido, California. It has strong street visibility with 300 feet of frontage on W. Mission Road and 750 feet of frontage along Auto Park Way.

Tucker Hohenstein and Conor Boyle with Colliers International represented MCA Realty as the buyer. The seller, a private investor, represented themselves.

MCA Realty is a full-service real estate investment and management company specializing in commercial properties throughout the Western U.S.  The goal of the company is to identify real estate investment opportunities and execute value creation strategies that maximize returns to its investors. 

Peter Cheng
MCA Realty's principals, Tyler Mattox, Jared Gordon, and Peter Cheng, have successfully navigated a full spectrum of market conditions, and pride themselves on building and maintaining strong relationships with industry partners.

Jeffrey A. Smith

Memphis, TN  Jeffrey A. Smith, founder and president of JASCO Realtors® announced the merger of JASCO Realtors® with the Keller Williams Realty Memphis office to create one of the largest real estate brokerage offices in the Mid-South with over 300 agents.

Keller Williams is the world’s largest real estate franchise by agent count with more than 980 offices with 190,000 associates and is number 1 in units and sales volume in the United States.

"We’re very excited to announce the merger of JASCO Realtors® and Keller Williams Memphis, with Jeffrey Smith as a KW leader,” said David Osborn, Keller Williams Operating Partner and Regional Owner.

DeBary, FL  – An enthusiastic group of DeBary and West Volusia community leaders joined the staffs of Charles Wayne Properties and Integra Land Company earlier this month to officially break ground on Integra 289 Exchange at The Junction

David McDaniel
The luxury apartment community is the first phase of DeBary’s long-awaited town center adjacent to the north leg of the SunRail route.

David McDaniel, founder and principal of Integra Land Co., which is well-known in the Volusia area for quality apartment communities, said not only is this his company’s first transit-oriented project,  “It will also augment the existing Gemini Springs trail system in DeBary that will wind through the landscape of the apartment community that supports the natural environment.” 

CPH Engineers and Architect ACI Consultants are on the Integra team.

DeBary Mayor Bob Garcia
Longtime DeBary Mayor Bob Garcia said he was privileged to lead the City Council who worked tirelessly with Costa and Charles Wayne principals throughout the last 15 years because it serves as the foundation for DeBary’s future growth.   

Incoming Mayor Karen Chasez said “These 289 apartments first and foremost fill an essential niche in the DeBary area and the retail that follows will be a welcome addition for several other surrounding residential developments in southern DeBary as well.”

Shari Simmans, Executive Director of the West Volusia Regional Chamber, said “The diversity of the residential and commercial buildings will create a real hometown center that we have been waiting for in DeBary.”

Steve Costa, principal at Charles Wayne Properties who heads the marketing for the development is in discussions with national grocery chains and a variety of commercial users to complete The Junction’s mix of office, retail, entertainment and residential enhanced by natural amenities. 


Incoming DeBarry Mayor Karen Chasez

“This is a fantastic opportunity for investors, developers, professional firms, and retailers.   The several nearby residential developments underway provide a growing demand for retail, medical, and office space,” Costa said.

Stuart, Fla.-based Seacoast Bank is handling financing for Charles Wayne Properties’ development that will feature 104,000 square feet of retail space including a planned 46,000 square foot major grocery store, as well as restaurants and offices.  Costa is talking to selected builders for the project’s next phase – 150 single family detached homes.
                                                   
Shari Simmans
The high-profile location of The Junction affords easy access to major arterial highways and international airports via U.S. 17-92, Interstate 4 and SR 417.  The property is surrounded by state parks, with interconnecting trails that extend from Saint Augustine to Saint Petersburg .

  “All this, and it’s just 5 minutes north of the Orlando MSA’s booming Lake Mary office and retail corridor,” Costa said.

Even City Council of Orange City representatives Jeff Allebach and Bill Crippin attended the event to voice their City’s support because “This will help more people ride the SunRail which should in turn help Orange City get a station too,” said Allebach,

Jeff Allebach
 “The development is a great complement that will support and increase ‘ecotourism’ – travel to Southwest Volusia’s trail system, parks and the area’s natural habitats,” according to Crippin.  

Charles Wayne Properties is an industry leader with a 40-year track record as an investor and developer throughout the Southeast having developed and managed grocery anchored shopping centers, freestanding retail facilities, and office and industrial parks. 

Since 1978 the firm has worked with local and national brands in various capacities including brokerage, development, investment sales, tenant representation, property management and receivership.
