Colliers International Closes $8.25 Million Sale of Industrial Multi-Tenant Project in Long Beach, CA


 LONG BEACH, CA, Mar. 8, 2012 – Colliers International, the third largest global real estate services organization, has completed the sale of a two-building multi-tenant industrial park (top left photo) totaling 121,127 square feet, located at 701-733 West Anaheim Street and 700-806 West 14th Street, Long Beach, Calif.

 The transaction is valued at $8.25 million.

Patrick Remolacio (middle left photo), Managing Director, and Bret Hardy (lower right photo), Executive Managing Director, based in Colliers International’s Irvine and Downtown Los Angeles offices, together with their co-listing partners, David Prior (lower left photo) and Murray Smith of the Klabin Company’s Torrance office, represented both the Seller and Buyer. 

The Seller was Bechler Corp of Long Beach Calif.   The Buyer was Rader Properties Group 14, LLC also based in Long Beach, Calif.   Bill Townsend, president of INCO Commercial in Long Beach, also assisted in the transaction and is the project leasing agent.

 “The Anaheim Street multi-tenant industrial park is the 14th asset that Colliers has successfully sold in Bechler Corp’s onetime 1,000,000 square foot Southern California industrial portfolio, since the marketing effort began in October 2009,” said Remolacio. 

For a variety of reasons, Bechler Corp had earlier made a decision to monetize the company’s investment real estate assets and distribute the sale proceeds as received to its 50-plus shareholders. 

“Through a series of one-off transactions to both users and investors over the past 28-months, Colliers efforts resulted in generating total sale proceeds in excess of $80-million”

 “At the time of sale, the project was operating at approximately 90% occupancy with 25 tenants occupying 34 of the 36 units.  Many of the tenants in this multi-tenant complex are engaged in businesses that support and fulfill the needs of a variety of operations taking place within the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles terminal operations.” said Hardy.

Grubb & Ellis Facilitates 10.5-Acre Industrial Land Sale in Anaheim, CA




 ANAHEIM, CA (Feb. 13, 2012) – Grubb & Ellis Company today announced that Jeff Read (top right photo), executive vice president and Greg Osborne (middle left photo), senior vice president, both of the company’s Industrial Group, represented Pittsburgh-based Neville Chemical Corporation in the sale of a 10.5-acre land site in Anaheim.

 The buyer is Newport Beach-based Western Realco LLC and its partner, Connecticut-based Penwood Real Estate Investment Management. The sale price was not disclosed.

 Located at 2201 E. Cerritos Ave., the site had previously housed a manufacturing plant owned and operated by Neville until 2005. It is situated in proximity to the 57, 91, 5 and 22 Freeways and just minutes from Edison Field (lower right photo), home of the L.A. Angels of Anaheim, and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks.

Western Realco and Neville spent the past eight months working with the City of Anaheim to convert the property to industrial zoning, consistent with the immediate surrounding real estate. The City Council unanimously adopted the industrial zoning application at its meeting on  Feb. 7.

Western Realco plans to work with the City of Anaheim to develop a state-of-the-art, 210,000-square-foot, cross-dock industrial building on a speculative basis.

The building, which will be offered for sale or lease, will have 30-foot minimum ceiling clearance, ESFR sprinklers and excellent truck-turning radius on two sides. Western Realco has appointed Read and Osborne with Grubb & Ellis Company to market the building on its behalf.

 Western Realco continues to be one of the most active developers and investors in Orange County. The Cerritos Avenue property is the company’s second industrial land acquisition in the market in the past few months, coming on the heels of its purchase of a four-acre site in Brea in December of last year.

 “We will continue to seek value-add industrial opportunities, including land for speculative development and existing buildings with turn-around potential, to take advantage of strengthening fundamentals in Southern California,” said Gary Edwards, principal with Western Realco.
