IRVINE, CALIF. – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, one of the most dominant retail investment groups in Southern California and a market leader in the sale of retail properties, announced today Jeremy S. McChesney and Edward B. Hanley of Hanley Investment Group represented the seller in the sale of a multi-tenant strip center in Brea, Calif. The purchase price was $3,115,000, representing a 4.7 percent cap rate.
The 6,576-square-foot retail strip center, known as Brea Plaza, is located at 401 North Brea Boulevard in Brea. Situated just north of the Birch Street Downtown Promenade shopping area, the property is situated on 0.53 acres and consists of four tenants including AutoZone, Quiznos, Payday Advance and Tobacco Royal. 7-Eleven was a part of the center, but not a part of the sale. The property was built in 1980, remodeled in 2001, and was 100 percent occupied at the time of sale.
“The sale represents a record breaking cap rate for a multi-tenant retail property in the area,” said Jeremy McChesney, vice president at Hanley Investment Group. “To obtain a 4.7% cap rate and $473 per square foot for a building built in 1980 (remodeled in 2001) was unbelievable. The demand for well located properties in this price and size range remains very strong.”
McChesney notes the buyer was in a 1031 exchange and plans to hold the property long term with the objective of increasing rents over time, specifically AutoZone, which was paying three times below current market rates.
The buyer, a private investor from Los Angeles, Calif., was represented by Jack Hopkins of Marcus & Millichap in Newport Beach, Calif. The seller was a private partnership from Newport Beach.
