Moon Lim and Ryan Judd of DAUM’S Los Angeles office participated in the transaction as well. Privy was represented by Steve Kim of One Commercial.

“Despite a drop in sales volume late last year, this deal came together in a very resilient industrial market just south of Downtown Los Angeles. The property is strategically located less than two miles from the 10 freeway with easy access to the ports and LAX Airport,” Bergeman said. 

Krishna Shegran 
According to DAUM Research, the Los Angeles industrial market saw the median sales price per square foot dip by about 15 percent to $300.86 despite the amount of sales decreasing by 43 percent down to $852 million in Q4.
