Hacienda del Prado,17 Crest Road, East Rolling Hills, CA

ROLLING HILLS, CA -- Chhabria Real Estate Company has a newly constructed luxury home located in Rolling Hills, one of Palos Verdes’ most elite communities. It is listed for $19 million.

The home, named Hacienda del Prado, is an extremely rare property because it was built in 2020 and sits on one of the biggest property lots in Rolling Hills at 
17 Crest Road East.
  Brand new constructions are almost unheard of for Rolling Hills, which was incorporated back in 1957. 


Michael Burch 
 Rolling Hills was developed by A.E. Hanson who also developed Hidden Hills, one of the most elite communities in the country. 

Not to mention, Hacienda del Prado features gorgeous views of Catalina, the coastline, and the Pacific Ocean. 

The property was designed by husband and wife architects Michael Burch and Diane Wilk. The couple is known for their lavish Spanish style and has designed homes for Bruce Springsteen, John Getty, Rod Stewart, Jim Belushi, John Bailey, and Robert Richardson. 


Hacienda del Prado is one of the most expansive ocean view properties to ever be offered on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. 


A.E. Hanson 
This 8,900 square-foot home sits on 10.28 acres of flat land in Rolling Hills. The five bed and nine bath Spanish revival style home is listed for $18,999,000.

The home includes a luxurious 5-stall barn, paddock and riding arena, enormous pool deck with a pergola, tennis court, two large motor courts, 1,000 square foot basement, and much more.      



Hacienda del Prado is located in one of the most private and exclusive communities in California. Rolling Hills’ equestrian charm has been maintained through the ample space between homes, absence of traffic lights, and large number of horse trails.

MCA Realty Renovates and Sells Multi-Tenant Industrial Asset in North San Diego County for $8.25 Million


Pinnacle Business Park consists of two-buildings with a total of 13 individual units and is located at 2750 Auto Park Way in Escondido, CA

 Tyler Mattox
Escondido, CA, June 10, 2020 – MCA Realty, a full service real estate investment and management company based in Orange County, California, has recently sold a 40,968 square-foot multi-tenant industrial asset in the North San Diego submarket of Escondido, California.
The property was sold to Providence Capital Group, a San Diego-based owner and investor, for $8.25 million.
MCA Realty acquired the property in November 2018 for $5.9 million, and completed strategic interior and exterior renovations to increase the income profile of the asset.

Tucker Hohenstein
 MCA acquired the two building, 13 suite project, at 80% occupancy with in-place rents approximately 25% below market rates. MCA’s renovation program allowed the Project to increase in-place rents to market rates and lease-up vacant space.

“MCA’s focus is on identifying well-located properties with value-add potential, and then executing on our business plan to best position the asset” says Tyler Mattox, Principal at MCA Realty.

 “As a result, in a very short period of time we were able to attract a buyer looking for a stabilized multi-tenant industrial project with long-term growth potential, and realize a strong return on investment for our investors.” 

Michael Kendall
The asset is located in one of the tightest industrial submarkets in North County San Diego with market vacancy at the time of sale around 3%.
 “The asset’s location in a strong industrial submarket made it attractive to potential buyers,” explains Mattox.
 “Escondido continues to attract a variety of companies, many of whom are seeking quality value alternatives to other San Diego County submarkets to the south.
"We strategically positioned the asset to fit this market, which ultimately created a property that was attractive to buyers.”

Conor Boyle
Tucker Hohenstein, Michael Kendall and Conor Boyle with Colliers International represented MCA Realty as the seller. 

The buyer, Providence Capital Group, was represented by Evan McDonald with Colliers International.

KBS and Gridium Inc. Cut $47,000 in Electricity Costs at Premier Office Towers in Emeryville, CA by Using Data Analytics Tool


Diana Rivers

EMERYVILLE, CA, June 10, 2020 – KBS, one of the largest investors in premier commercial real estate in the nation, and Gridium Inc.a software company specializing in data analytics, are pleased to announced that Gridium’s new electric utility rate optimization tool has cut approximately $47,000 in operating expenses at The Towers Emeryville, an 814,000 square-foot Class A office park in Emeryville, California, which is part of KBS’ client portfolio.


The Towers Emeryville,1900-2200 Powell Street, Emeryville, CA

Diana Rivers, at Cushman & Wakefield, is handling property management services for The Towers Emeryville on behalf of KBS.

“During these challenging times, KBS and Cushman & Wakefield are deploying new COVID-19 operating protocols, sharing information quickly, and preparing for the reboot,” says Rivers, associate director of asset services.

“Part of this is managing energy costs so that we can deliver high-value space to tenants, and Gridium makes that easy. It’s so much more than the dramatic views and outdoor lounges here that make these buildings productive and valuable to tenants.”

KBS used Gridium’s data analytics tool at The Towers Emeryville to identify annual utility-rate cost savings of $0.06 per square foot. Products and services that reduce operating costs are especially significant as property owners grapple with concerns surrounding COVID-19, according to Brent Carroll, asset manager for The Towers Emeryville and senior vice president for KBS.

Brent Carroll
“We are always looking for ways to manage operating costs while delivering unmatched properties and services to tenants in each of the markets that we invest,” says Carroll.

“The COVID-19 pandemic and shutdown have highlighted the need to keep expenses in check so that we can focus on exceeding the expectations of our investors, partners and tenants.

"Assessing current and future electricity use to decrease operating costs will be particularly important in the aftermath of the pandemic. Products like Gridium’s optimization tool help us to achieve this goal.”

Building from its foundation of patented machine learning technology – validated for accuracy and precision in an assessment performed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab – Gridium’s new electric utility-rate optimizations combine interval meter data with a proprietary rate engine to independently verify both historical bills and optimal rate selections.

Tom Arnold

This technology enables buildings to claim utility bill credits from incorrect bills and to save money, going forward, by switching to the optimal electric utility rate for its own unique energy-use profile, explains Tom Arnold, CEO of Gridium Inc.

“Our interval-data powered technology finds energy and operating cost savings overlooked by legacy bill-pay providers running on spreadsheets,” says Arnold.

 “Similar to a double-entry accounting system, Gridium’s technology independently calculates a building’s historical electric utility bills.

"These benchmarks allow for accurate comparison and verification of historical bills and for the identification of billing errors. And, by calculating these comparison benchmarks under all eligible hypothetical rate scenarios for each building, Gridium’s technology identifies optimal rate recommendations that lower future operating expenses.”
