Newmark has completed the $19 million sale of a 75,711-square-foot office property in Torrance, CA. The asset is fully occupied by Unify Financial Credit Union who uses the space as its headquarters and recently signed a 10-year lease.
Newmark’s Capital Markets President, West Coast Kevin Shannon, Executive Managing Director Ken White, and Managing Director Scott Schumacher represented the seller, Continental Development Corporation. The buyer, Miramar Property Group, LLC, was in a 1031 exchange and was self-represented. The sale closed at a price per square foot of $251.
“The property offered the buyer an ideal location in a desirable submarket with a solid long-term triple-net lease in place,” said Shannon. “The South Bay market continues to strengthen as tenants from other pricier Los Angeles markets seek an amenity-rich and easily accessible location. The price differential between Torrance and the El Segundo market has never been this large, which is attracting capital to Torrance.”
Built in 2004 and situated on 4.44 acres, the four-story institutional quality asset is located at 1899 Western Way. It is adjacent to the 116-acre former Toyota campus which is currently under contract with an investor that plans to redevelop the site; the 2.3-million-square-foot newly renovated Del Amo Fashion Center; and the 405, 110, and 91 freeways.
