NGKF Capital Markets has completed the sale of 18401 Von Karman, a five-story, Class A, 114,724-square-foot office property in Irvine, CA, located in the heart of the Irvine Business Complex.
Paul Jones, Kevin Shannon, Blake Bokosky, and Rick Stumm of NGKF Capital Markets, represented the institutional seller.
“The 18401 Von Karman building offered the buyer the opportunity to expand its holdings from two to three properties within the Von Karman Towers Office Park. This asset allows the new ownership to strategically target tenants looking for space in a mid-rise building versus their two existing high-rise towers directly across the central courtyard,” said Paul Jones, senior managing director with NGKF in its Newport Beach office.
Built in 1983 and renovated over the past few years, 18401 Von Karman is situated on just over one acre of land and is directly across Michelson Drive from the newly redeveloped TRADE retail center. It offers contemporary interior finishes, abundant landscaping with outdoor seating areas, ample surface and structured parking, and highly visible corporate signage opportunities. The property includes tenants such as RSM McGladrey, IBI Group, Fragomen Worldwide and Harbottle Law Group.
The building represents the third office investment transaction by this NGKF Capital Markets team within the Greater Airport market over the past several months. In September, the team successfully closed 17911 Von Karman, a 103,620-square foot office building located in Irvine, CA as well as Newport Irvine Center, a 75,694-square foot office building in Newport Beach, CA which closed in October.
