600 Mariners Island, a 24-unit apartment community in San Mateo, CA sold for $13 Million

SAN MATEO, CA – Levin Johnston of Marcus and Millichap, one of the top multifamily brokerage teams in the U.S. specializing in wealth management through commercial real estate investments, successfully completed the sale of two multifamily communities in San Mateo, California, with a total transaction volume of $24.45 million.
 “Investor demand in San Mateo is at an all-time high as employment opportunities and superb quality-of-life are driving down vacancy rates and placing upward pressure on rents,” explains Adam Levin, executive managing director for Levin Johnston.

 Adam Levin
 While job growth remains strong throughout the entire Bay Area, the San Francisco/Peninsula submarket, which encompasses San Francisco and San Mateo County, experienced 3.5 percent employment growth last year, outpacing the East Bay at 2.2 percent.”

 Levin Johnston’s recent San Mateo transactions include:
Levin Johnston Directs Acquisition of 24-Unit Trophy Apartment Community
            Levin Johnston of Marcus & Millichap directed the acquisition of 600 Mariners Island, a 24-unit apartment community in San Mateo, California, to a foreign investor for $12.95 million. The seller, a private owner, was also represented by Levin Johnston.
“This acquisition presented a rare opportunity to purchase a trophy asset in a strong and highly robust multifamily market,” explains Robert Johnston, senior managing director for Levin Johnston.
 “Drawing upon our deep market knowledge and strong investor relationships, we were able to quickly identify a buyer and close the deal within 14 days.”
According to Johnston, the appeal of this asset to both local and international investors is driven by San Mateo’s reputation as one of the most affluent and prosperous counties in the nation, with strong employment fundamentals and low vacancy levels.
Robert Johnston
The property is in close proximity to many of the nation’s top tech employers including Facebook, Oracle, GoPro, and Sony. 
The greater San Mateo County market is also experiencing an influx of office expansions and new development including the Gilead Sciences campus, Illumina campus, Franklin Templeton headquarters, and Facebook’s Oculus offices. Residents also benefit from convenient access to retail destinations and local parks.
Originally constructed in 1976, 600 Mariners Island offers waterfront views and consists of six two-bedroom/one-bathroom units and eighteen one-bedroom/one-bathroom units.
Community amenities include a full-sized swimming pool, a children’s swimming pool, clubhouse, boat launch, private storage, modern fitness center, dog park and playground.
The property is located at 600 Mariners Island in San Mateo, California.
Levin Johnston Completes $11.5 Million Sale of 31-Unit Multifamily Community
            Levin Johnston directed the sale of Station 401 @ Poplar, a 31-unit multifamily community in San Mateo, California, for $11.5 million. The firm represented the seller and the buyer, both private investors, in the transaction.
            “Station 401 @ Poplar is situated in a world-class location in close proximity to major employers and transportation corridors,” says Johnston. “The asset was previously listed unsuccessfully by other local brokers. Keeping our finger on the pulse of the market, we were able to bring in a buyer and ultimately negotiate an attractive price that made sense for both our clients.”

KBS Assisted in $165.5 Million Acquisition of Park Tower in Sacramento, CA


Park Tower, a 489,171 square-foot Class A office building in downtown Sacramento, Ca

SACRAMENTO, CA (Feb. 25, 2020) – KBS, one of the largest investors in premier commercial real estate in the nation, announced today the company assisted in the acquisition of Park Tower, a 489,171 square-foot Class A office building in downtown Sacramento, California. 

Rod Richerson
The property was acquired for $165.5 million by Prime US REIT (PRIME), which trades on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limits ticker as: OXMU. 

Grant Lammersen, Steve Golubchik and Tyler Myerdirk of Newmark Knight Frank brokered the transaction.

Bruce Fischer, Christine Fan, and Howard Chu of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s Orange County office represented PRIME as legal counsel in the acquisition.

KBS serves as the U.S. based asset manager for the portfolio, which included identifying and sourcing this asset on behalf of the portfolio. Park Tower is a Class A property that consists of 24 stories of office space, retail and parking garage space.

Grant Lammersen
“This is the first new acquisition for the portfolio since listing 11 properties on the Singapore Exchange last year,” says Rod Richerson, regional president, Western United States, for KBS.

 “Acquiring Park Tower is a strategic investment into a prime location and a premier asset. At 92% occupancy, Park Tower is one of the top five buildings in the downtown Sacramento market with strong in-place cash flow and a diverse base of credit tenants.”

Sacramento is a region with healthy fundamentals for continued growth, adds Richerson.


 “Private companies are increasingly drawn to Sacramento for its abundant young and highly educated workforce and lower cost of living. More than 34% of individuals in the area have a college degree.”


 Christine Z. Fan

According to a Q4 2019 Sacramento Market Report from Newmark Knight Frank (NKF), the Sacramento office market maintained its positive momentum in the fourth quarter to finish the year strong. 


Steve Golubchik 
Net absorption was positive for the 13th consecutive quarter, totaling 159,317 square-feet, which brought the year to date total to a positive 780,922 square-feet.

Sacramento’s office market also features high barriers to entry with less than 5% vacancy in Class A office assets and no new projects under construction in the downtown market. 

Several major tech, biotech and healthcare firms have a presence in the region, including the Intel Corporation, Hewlett Packard, Apple, Sutter Health, Affymetrix, Lipomics Technologies Inc., Calgene LLC, Novozymes Biotech Inc. and Volcano Therapeutics.

One of the tallest buildings in Sacramento, Park Tower is centrally located at 980 9th Street and 1010 8th Street in Sacramento, California. 


Tyler Myerdirk 
The asset is situated within walking distance of California’s state capitol; Downtown Sacramento’s retail and entertainment core, Downtown Common, a newly developed mixed-use entertainment and shopping complex with 670,000 square-feet of retail, entertainment; and Golden 1 Center, the NBA’s Sacramento Kings’ basketball arena. 

Currently in development is a mixed use project called The Railyards which will double the size of downtown Sacramento when it’s completed. 

It’s the largest in-fill development project west of the Mississippi River and will include up to 515,00 square-feet of retail, 10,000 housing units, a state-of-the-art 21,000 seat soccer stadium and a 1.22MM square-foot 18-acre Kaiser Medical Center.


Bruce Fischer
“Working with PRIME to acquire a trophy asset in the heart of one of the strongest markets in California is a testament to KBS’ ability to identify best-in-class assets that attract today’s top office users,” says Brent Carroll, senior vice president for KBS and asset manager Park Tower. 

“This transaction allows us once again to utilize our proven hands-on asset management strategy to provide tenants with high-quality, well-amenitized office space.”
