SAN DIEGO, CA – MetroGroup Realty Finance, a private commercial mortgage banking firm based in Newport Beach, California, has successfully secured $34.3 million in acquisition financing on behalf of its client, Klein Investment Family Limited Partnership, to acquire a 132,695 square-foot, four-building office/flex campus in the Kearney Mesa submarket of San Diego, California to perfect an IRS 1031 tax deferred reverse exchange.

The office campus is 100-percent leased to Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions, a subsidiary of global UK-based Cobham PLC, a leading technology company for the aerospace and defense industries.

 “San Diego is one of the most dynamic markets in the country and is internationally recognized as a leader in aerospace and defense,” says Patrick Ward, Founder of MetroGroup Realty Finance. “The continued growth in these industries, coupled with the region’s record low vacancy is driving tremendous investor demand to the area.”

Ward explains that many investors are seeking high-quality stabilized investments in markets like San Diego, which are positioned for long-term growth and are more likely to sustain economic shifts than secondary and tertiary markets.

“We have been working with the Klein’s for over twenty years,” says Ward. “In that time, they have acquired and amassed a strong, balanced portfolio of well tenanted conservatively leveraged net leased industrial properties similar to the Cobham campus.”

MetroGroup Realty Finance provided a bridge loan in the amount of $7 million and a permanent loan in the amount of $27.3 million.

“We took a unique approach to securing financing for this acquisition, and recommended combining a bridge and permanent loan,” explains Ward. “The bridge loan will provide temporary liquidity in anticipation of their selling an existing property.  Proceeds from the sale of their existing property will retire the bridge loan and complete the reverse exchange.”

Ward adds, “Our deep history and innovative approach to sourcing capital allowed us to structure the financing in a way that provided our client the opportunity to acquire an attractive investment that was available now prior to selling one of their assets.”
            
Klein Investment Family Limited Partnership plans to integrate a series of significant tenant and property capital improvements including replacing roofing and HVAC units, upgrading electrical power, fire systems, and resealing and restriping the parking lots.
