Adam Lowy

MIAMI, FL – The Keyes Company’s “Next Gen” group, which consists of Sales Associates under the age of 40, announces its new partnership with Move For Hunger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste. 

Move For Hunger works with relocation companies and real estate professionals to collect nonperishable food items and deliver them to food banks across the country.

In 2009, Adam Lowy founded Move For Hunger. His family has owned a moving company for more than 90 years, and after years of seeing so much food wasted when people move, Lowy decided to take action. To date, the organization has collected more than 7.6 million pounds of food, equating to 6.3 million meals for those in need.

“We’re very excited to partner with an organization as great as Move For Hunger,” said Keyes Sales Associate Jason Pappas, who is spearheading the campaign. “This organization is making an incredible difference for our society, and we’re proud to support its efforts to help fight hunger.”

Keyes will be hosting a food drive from April 17-28. For more information on how to participate, please contact Scott Cabrera, Director of Philanthropy, at 305-779-1997.

RAF Pacifica Group Announces New Mixed-Use Development in Rapidly Growing Solana Beach, CA Submarket

Adam Robinson

SAN DIEGO, CA – RAF Pacifica Group, a San Diego-based commercial real estate investor and developer, has acquired a 40,000 square-foot land parcel formerly the site of Cedros Gardens, on which the firm plans to develop a 26,000 square-foot mixed-use project integrating high-end restaurants, ground-floor retail, office, and multifamily in the Solana Beach submarket of San Diego.

The land is fully entitled for development, and is located within the rapidly growing Cedros Design District.

Vec•tor will be situated in Carlsbad Oaks North, a 120-acre master planned corporate business park in Carlsbad where leading biopharmaceutical company IONIS Pharmaceuticals is headquartered, and other major biotech companies are located.

Development costs for this project total $30 million. Ware Malcomb has been selected as the architect for this project, and TFW Construction is the general contractor. Vec•tor will be completed in Q2 of 2018.

The Cedros Avenue project will break ground in 2017, with an estimated completion date in 2018. RAF Pacifica Group acquired the 40,000 square-foot entitled land parcel for a total consideration of $5.5 million from a private owner.

“This site is a rare find in the current market,” explains Adam Robinson, Founder & Principal of RAF Pacifica Group.  “The opportunity to acquire land that is fully entitled in the heart of such a vibrant district enables us to create a true lifestyle destination that will support Solana Beach’s ongoing revitalization and drive future economic growth, resulting in long-term value and higher quality of life for the community at large.”

Steve Leonard

The planned development will include 3,200 square feet of high-end restaurant space, 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, 8,000 square feet of high quality office, and eight multifamily units all within a walkable, centrally-located urban setting.

“This project exemplifies the type of high-quality, coastal mixed-use projects we are looking to build and hold long-term,” continues Robinson. 

“The demand for highly walkable communities, coupled with a trend toward urbanization, is driving the creation of fully integrated, amenity-rich environments that offer a live/work/play experience and foster a sense of community.”

Robinson notes that walkability is a key component of the economic redevelopment of densely populated cities and districts, and not only attracts residents and businesses, but also substantially increases property values.

Located in the tightly-knit coastal community of Solana Beach, RAF Pacifica Group’s project will be located on the same street as Cedros Avenue Design District, an open-air retail center featuring 85 boutique shops and restaurants. Home furnishings and design retailer West Elm plans to open its first Solana Beach store in this center, and a number of other redevelopments are underway within the Cedros Design District.

    With  Robinson and Steve Leonard at the helm, RAF Pacifica Group oversees a portfolio of 2.75 million square feet of real estate, with a niche focus in mixed-use, office and industrial product. The firm has an additional one million square feet of speculative development in the pipeline over the next 24 months, and continues to actively seek value-add investment and ground-up development opportunities in San Diego County.

Daum Commercial Closes Land Sale for New Spec Industrial Development in Oxnard, CA

Mitch Conlee

OXNARD, CA – DAUM Commercial, a leading provider of commercial real estate services, has recently directed the sale of a 3.84 acre land parcel within the McInnes Ranch Business Park in Oxnard, California.

The buyer is designing a speculative warehouse distribution building to be developed at the site, according to Mitch Conlee, an Executive Vice President at DAUM’s Ventura County office.

Conlee represented the buyer, E&E Trust, as well as the seller, a Southern California developer, in this transaction.

“The ability to market this fantastic location allowed me to provide the seller with immediate upside based on tremendous demand in this supply-constrained market, which closed 2016 at just 2.7 percent vacancy,” Conlee explained. 

“At the same time, we also brought E&E Trust a valuable development opportunity. This parcel is five minutes from the 101 Freeway in a market with low vacancy and very little state-of-the-art competition. 

“The new owner plans to develop a 52,500 square-foot distribution building with 30-foot clear height in the warehouse, dock-high loading, as well as large aprons and truck courts, to accommodate the increasing traffic driven by e-commerce. 

“The planned development will be in a strong position to meet ongoing demand for new product.”

Conlee has completed several industrial transactions in McInnes Ranch Business Park and the surrounding areas, and drew upon his deep knowledge of the market to direct this acquisition.

The land parcel is located at 500 North Elevar Street, on the corner of Elevar Street and Camino Del Sol in Oxnard.

DAUM Commercial is a leading provider of commercial real estate services including brokerage, tenant representation, consulting, leasing, sales and property management. Founded in 1904, DAUM focuses on longstanding client relationships and draws upon its century-long track record to deliver steadfast insights and proven results to clients throughout the U.S.

Summit Financial Consultants Signs New Lease at Westlake Park Place Development in Westlake Village, CA

  

Westlake Park Place II, Westlake Village, CA

  

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA – Summit Financial Consultants, Inc. is proud to announce that due to the continuing growth of their wealth management firm they will be expanding their offices and relocating to Westlake Park Place – Phase II.

Summit Financial’s wealth management practice has been instrumental in helping their clients design and implement their personalized “Work-Optional Lifestyle” plan. 

Summit helps clients transition from being affluent to becoming wealthy.  The difference is that the affluent have to work for their money and the wealthy have their money work for them.

 “Our success is directly related to our clients’ successes. We are a boutique wealth management firm that specializes in ‘Work-Optional Lifestyle Planning,’” stated Neil Elmouchi, Chairman and CEO of Summit Financial Consultants.

Neil Elmouchi

 “We work with people who want to take control of their financial future through personalized planning that helps clarify and simplify their financial path.

“Because many of our clients could spend more of their life in retirement years than in their working years, it is critical that they have a plan for their money to last longer than they do. What our clients really appreciate is that we are not just about accumulating and preserving wealth - we are about maintaining their lifestyle.” 

 “Another reason we are thrilled about our future growth opportunities is the addition of Jeff Sorensen and the merger of his firm Sorensen Wealth Management last year. Mr. Sorensen is President and Senior Wealth Advisor at Summit and is a great resource in helping Summit expand the value we bring to our clients,” stated Mr. Elmouchi. 

“Because of the growth we have experienced, both organically and through our recent merger, and our vision of how we want to benefit our clients in the future, we have spent a great deal of time designing our new office space and are very happy about our location in the prestigious Westlake Park Place – Phase II development.

“We believe this will be an important factor in helping to keep us at the cutting edge of innovation and enhance the services and strategies available to our clients.”

Mike Foxworthy

Bob Searles of Westlake Plaza Center East – II, LLC says, “Westlake Park Place is the premier office development in the Westlake Village business district, providing ease of access and a strong corporate identity.  

Summit Financial Consultants is a fine example of the high caliber tenants attracted to the prime location, top amenities and elegant design that our property offers.”

Summit Financial Consultants, Inc. has leased 6,090 square feet at 3075 Townsgate Road, the final building to be constructed at Westlake Park Place. Occupancy is scheduled for April 1, 2017.

 Mike Foxworthy of DAUM Commercial represented Summit Financial. The landlord, Westlake Plaza Center East – II, LLC was represented by Craig Cahow and Mike Foxworthy of DAUM Commercial, the listing agents.  

“DAUM has had the pleasure of working with Bob Searles for several years, and we drew upon our strong local relationships to secure Summit Financial Consultants as a tenant for this exceptional development,” says Foxworthy. 

“The transaction reflects the current strength of the Ventura County office market, which is demonstrating solid activity levels as employment in the area steadily grows.  As jobs are added, we will see increasingly lower vacancies, driving strong competition for premier office properties in the burgeoning Westlake Village business district.”  

Westlake Park Place is the most significant and prestigious corporate headquarters development in the Conejo Valley, with unmatched visibility in the heart of the Westlake Village business district.

Westlake Park Place is the preeminent Class “A” mid-rise suburban office complex, utilizing Mediterranean style architecture surrounding a central park-like core. Each building features a state-of-the-art and energy-efficient mechanical, electrical, life safety and security system.
