"1650 Sunflower is a high quality asset and an attractive addition to our portfolio of assets under management," said Jeff Hanson, (top right photo) president and chief investment officer of Grubb & Ellis Realty Investors.
"The property recently underwent renovations that added new office space to the main structure, as well as a vehicle maintenance building, contributing additional value to the property overall and keeping it attuned to the tenant's needs."
Federal Express Corporation is the sole occupant of 1650 Sunflower and operates the building under a long-term triple net lease.
The property's location enables Federal Express to receive and ship freight from both John Wayne Airport and Los Angeles International Airport and to deliver to its local customer base.
In addition to its close proximity to both airports, the property has the following physical characteristics appealing to Federal Express:
loading capabilities on three sides of the building; drive-around capabilities for circulation; clear height and column spacing for sorting and distribution equipment and a large yard for vehicle storage.
