Newmark Capital Markets has announced the $35.5 million sale of 898 Sepulveda, an eight-story 89,000-square-foot office property that is 98 percent leased and a six-level parking structure leased to Central Parking in El Segundo, a city within the South Bay submarket of Los Angeles. This was an off-market transaction.
Newmark Capital Markets President, West Coast Kevin Shannon, Executive Managing Director Ken White and Managing Director Michael Moore represented the seller, TA Associates. The buyer, a joint venture of Stanton Road Capital and Second City was self-represented. Newmark Capital Markets Executive Managing Director David Milestone arranged the financing on behalf of the buyer.
“El Segundo is a very strong office market that continues to see capital acquire and renovate older properties to attract tenants looking for creative space,” said Shannon. “As further testimony to this trend, the buyer is planning to make needed improvements to the asset and ultimately stabilize the building at market rents for updated product. Additionally, the buyer plans to extend the parking garage’s master lease for a longer term and more durable cash flow.”
Built in 1979 and renovated in 2000, the property is situated on 3.4 acres at 898 Sepulveda Blvd. The property provides easy access to the 105 and 405 freeways, The nearby Beach Cities of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach offer one of the premier live/work environments in all of Los Angeles.
