                    Boronda Plaza, 1576 North Sanborn Road, Salinas, CA

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of Boronda Plaza, a 93,796-square-foot, grocery-anchored retail center in Salinas, California.

Nicholas Bicardo
                HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Donahue Schriber.  Phillips Edison-ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc. successfully purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt amongst a highly competitive field of 20 bidders.

                Boronda Plaza is located at 1576 North Sanborn Road at the intersection of East Boronda Road approximately three miles east of Highway 101.  Situated on 9.5 acres, the center was built in 2002 and is 95 percent leased to multiple tenants including anchor tenant Food 4 Less, which occupies 59,412 square feet of space.

                The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by managing director Nicholas Bicardo, along with associate director Mark Damiani, both out of the San Francisco HFF office, as well as managing director Bryan Ley from HFF’s LA office.

Mark Damiani
“This transaction represented an excellent opportunity for the buyer to acquire a dominant grocery-anchored retail center located in a secondary market in Northern California at a very attractive yield comparatively to primary markets. 

“Given where spreads are on cap rates between primary and secondary markets, we are seeing a tremendous amount of capital migrate to similar markets like Salinas in search of higher yields,” said Bicardo.

Bryan Ley
Donahue Schriber is a private real estate investment trust (REIT) operating on the West Coast.  The company owns and operates a portfolio of 74 neighborhood, community and power shopping centers representing more than 11 million square feet throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
