SAN DIEGO, CA (July 6, 2015) – AGC SD Retail Holdings,
LLC, a joint venture of Newport Beach-based
Citivest Commercial Investments, LLC and New York-based Angelo, Gordon
& Company, has acquired a nine-property retail portfolio in San Diego for
$183.25 million, according to Citivest President Larry Weese.
At the time of sale, the more than 520,000 square-foot
portfolio’s average occupancy rate was above 92 percent, 78 percent of which
are credit, national or regional tenants.
“All nine of these retail properties are positioned in
strong locations within their submarkets and feature historically high
occupancy with either strong anchor tenants or shadow-anchors that drive
consumer traffic to the centers,” Weese said.

“This portfolio will make a strong investment for our
company and for our partner, as we will be able to increase the value of this
already well-performing portfolio through our leasing and asset management
expertise.”
The properties include retail space within Pacific Coast
Plaza and Town Center North in Oceanside; Palm Promenade and Stonecrest Plaza
in San Diego; East County Square and East County Village in El Cajon; and
EastLake Terraces, Eastlake Village Center East and Southbay Marketplace in
Chula Vista.
Dwight Belden,
Chief Operating Officer for Citivest Commercial Investments, LLC, pointed out,
“This is the first time any of these properties had come to market since they
were built. Each of the acquired retail spaces is located within the dominant
centers in their areas, with historically high consumer traffic. When these
factors are coupled with the high barriers to entry in the San Diego market,
the potential for growing asset value for these investments is quite strong.”

Weese added that the properties will be further
stabilized in the coming months, and that the partners will also reposition the
largest of the acquired properties, Pacific Coast Plaza, through implementing
exterior upgrades.
“Acquiring nine separate properties at one time took a
lot of patience and dedication,” Weese noted.
“By working closely with the
seller, as well as our joint venture partner, we were able to overcome issues
that arose, including the assumption of a CMBS loan, and complete this unique
portfolio acquisition.”
The
Citivest team included Weese, COO Dwight Belden, CEO Dana Haynes and VP Jeff
Peterson in association with Mark
Ferraro of TMC America, LLC.
The new portfolio will be managed by Rob Cord - Managing Director of Real Estate Management Services at Voit Real
Estate Services.
Brokerage was handled by Flocke & Avoyer, San Diego.
