Newmark has announced the $24.52 million sale of a vacant 116,450-square-foot Class A warehouse/manufacturing building in Vernon, CA, an industrial city of 5.2 square miles located several miles to the southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Newmark Executive Managing Director John McMillan, Senior Managing Director Jeff Sanita, Associate Director Greg Stumm, and Managing Director Danny Williams represented the buyer, a fund managed by Clarion Partners, LLC. Newmark Managing Director Richard Abdulian represented the seller, Sandberg Furniture.
Built in 2000, the property is situated on a 5.1-acre land parcel at 5685 Alcoa Ave, and provides many of the Class A features tenants value today, such as 30’ clearance, ESFR sprinklers, abundant parking and truck loading, a large fenced yard, and over 16,000-sf of high-quality, corporate image office space.
“A fund managed by Clarion Partners, LLC purchased the building vacant, and is conducting a major refurbishment of the property to attract an occupier seeking a Class A industrial facility with a prime last mile location right in the heart of Los Angeles County,” said McMillan. “With a third quarter 2018 industrial vacancy rate of 1.2 percent in the Greater L.A. Basin, and demand continuing to far outpace supply, this space will have a strong amount of tenant interest, and should be especially appealing to e-commerce companies.”
