Newmark Capital Markets has announced the sale of Centerpoint Plaza located at 5901 Priestly Drive in Carlsbad. The property is a class A three-story, multi-tenant office environment totaling 97,823 square feet of space.
Newmark Capital Markets Executive Managing Director Brunson Howard, Co-Head of US Capital Markets Kevin Shannon, Executive Managing Directors Paul Jones and Ken White, and Senior Managing Director Rick Stumm represented New York Life Real Estate Investors on behalf of an institutional client in the $26.8 million transaction to the buyer Hill Companies.
Centerpoint Plaza was completed in 2007. It is approximately 87 percent leased to tenants that include Thomson Reuters, Wells Fargo, Colliers, and FBI, among others. The steel-framed building benefits from a dramatic arrival with its two-story main lobby. The location provides immediate access to both El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road within a growing executive residential and retail development.
“Carlsbad has really come into its own as a mature and dynamic marketplace and it continues to transform at a rapid pace with high-end retail and residential development ongoing. This along with best-in-class asset quality and investment-grade tenancy, made Centerpoint Plaza a rare and highly-sought after coastal opportunity,” said Howard.
Carlsbad is North San Diego’s largest and most sought-after office market, attracting companies seeking a highly-educated workforce and amenity-rich environment. Carlsbad has experienced nearly 600,000 square feet of positive net absorption over the past five years.
