HFF closes $48.5 million sale of Amerige Heights Town Center in Fullerton, CA


Ryan Gallagher
IRVINE, CA – HFF announced it has closed the sale of Amerige Heights Town Center, a 163,514-square-foot, dual grocery-anchored retail center in Fullerton, California, a southern Los Angeles suburb.

               HFF exclusively marketed the property on behalf of the seller, an institutional investment manager.  Shin Yen International Pty, Ltd., represented by Randall Realty Advisors, purchased the asset for $48.5 million free and clear of existing debt.

               Amerige Heights Town Center is situated on 15.2 acres at 1895-1897 West Malvern Avenue in Fullerton at the intersection of Malvern Avenue and Starbuck Street, less than three miles from the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5).  More than 213,000 people with an average household income of $81,000 and a median home value of $416,000 live within a three-mile radius.

 Completed in 2001, the center is 95 percent leased to national and regional tenants, including Barnes & Nobles, Gold’s Gym, Ross Dress for Less, Olympic Golf and T-Mobile.  The center is shadow-anchored by Target, with a full-service grocery component, and Albertsons, both of which were not included in the sale.

               The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Ryan Gallagher and associate director CJ Osbrink.  Michael Randall, principal at Randall Realty Advisors, represented the buyer.

“The stabilized profile of the rent roll, affluent demographics, and lack of well-positioned retail centers for sale in Orange County helped create a very competitive market for the Amerige Heights Town Center opportunity,” Osbrink said.

Mr. Wan-I Huang (James Huang) founded the Shin Yen International Enterprise Group (Shin Yen) in 1986.  Over the past 28 years, Shin Yen has successfully evolved from a residential construction and development company in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, into a global real estate investment organization with shopping center and office building portfolios in Taiwan, Australia and the United States. 

In the last few years, Shin Yen has increased its retail portfolio by acquiring three additional retail projects and they are actively pursuing additional acquisitions which fit its long-term strategy.
