Newmark has announced the sale of Station Plaza located at 3100 Oak Road in Walnut Creek. Station Plaza consists of a three-story office building totaling 49,542-square-feet of space. It is part of the award-winning 2.4-million-square-foot Contra Costa Transit Village that encompasses office and commercial space with 6,000 employees, 2,700 residential units, and two hotels.
Newmark’s Capital Markets team comprising Forrest Gherlone, Mike Zylstra, Grant Lammersen, Tim Walling and Steve Golubchik represented Thomas Properties in the disposition to Lane Partners.
“Located just two blocks from the Walnut Creek Pleasant Hill BART Station, Station Plaza benefits from the increased critical importance of public transportation to tenants today,” said Gherlone. “This should prove to be a great asset for Lane Partners, particularly once they complete the improvements planned for the Property.”
According to Newmark, asking rent discounts between Walnut Creek and similar class A markets such as San Francisco and Oakland are at an all-time high of 41 percent and 22 percent. This is causing current tenants in San Francisco and Oakland to seek more affordable options in the North I-680 corridor.
Station Plaza is 94.2 percent leased to 16 tenants that include financial, healthcare, legal, consulting and government. It is walkable to numerous retail amenities with abundant secured subterranean and surface parking.
