Newmark Capital Markets has completed the sale of Westlake Gardens, located at 2535 and 2555 Townsgate Road in Thousand Oaks. The two-building, three-story office property, encompassing 94,241 square feet, is located within the prestigious Westlake Village submarket.
Newmark Capital Markets Executive Managing Directors Sean Fulp and Robert Griffith represented the seller. The buyer is a partnership between Johnston Group and Majestic Asset Management. Majestic has been actively pursuing investment opportunities with approximately $300 million of transactions conducted over the past 24 months.
Westlake Gardens was completed in 1999. It is currently 94 percent leased to 25 tenants ranging from 1,000 to 17,000 square feet. The property benefits from a diversified tenant base including financial, real estate and technology services among others. With limited class A availability in Westlake Village for small and mid-sized tenants, the property enjoys a high retention rate.
“I fully expect the property to outperform other properties in the market due to its high-quality construction, parking, proximity to amenities and the functional tenant suites,” said Fulp. “Most tenants will renew because of these attributes, but when vacancy does come, the costs to re-tenant the space should be low.”
“This sale further demonstrates the continuing strength of the suburban office sale market throughout Southern California,” added Griffith.
Westlake Gardens benefits from a central location with abundant amenities including high-end retail, restaurants, country clubs and hotels.
