FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA -- Guthrie Development Company, a full-service commercial real estate investment and management company based in Irvine, California, has acquired a 13,260 square-foot multi-tenant industrial building in Fountain Valley, California from a private seller.

“Our firm focuses on strong-performing asset classes such as industrial, which continues to surpass all other commercial real estate sectors,” says Rob Guthrie, President at Guthrie Development Company.

 “Demand for this product type has skyrocketed recently, especially in the Orange County market. In fact, this region saw its eleventh straight quarter of positive absorption in Q1 2022.
