Newmark has completed the approximately $14.25 million sale of Placentia Corporate Center, a 104,266-square-foot, four-building, multi-tenant office/R&D campus in Placentia, CA.
Newmark’s Capital Markets President, West Coast Kevin Shannon, Senior Managing Director Paul Jones and Director Blake Bokosky represented the institutional seller, TA Realty of Boston, MA. The buyer was Guthrie Development, a Newport Beach-based investment and development company.
“While this is an institutional-quality property with freeway visibility, the buyer recognized the opportunity to create more value to this recently renovated campus by making some minor improvements and bringing rents to market rates as leases expire,” said Bokosky. “Furthermore, the buyer identified the potential to maximize value in its exit strategy by selling off the buildings individually as they are each on separate land parcels.”
Located at 600 South Placentia Avenue, Placentia Corporate Center is situated on 6.47 acres and consists of two single-story Flex/R&D buildings and two low-rise office buildings. The property was built in 1987 and renovated in 2016 and provides the buyer with a stable and growing income stream as the property is currently 89 percent leased to 20 tenants. The property offers tenants freeway signage opportunities, ample and free surface parking, and convenient access to four major Orange County freeways connecting to the entire Southern California region.
