Newmark Capital Markets has completed the $44.05 million sale of a 100 percent leased, multi-tenant 347,119-square-foot R&D/industrial building located in the master-planned Conejo Spectrum Business Park in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Newmark Capital Markets Co-Head of U.S. Capital Markets Kevin Shannon, Executive Managing Director Bret Hardy, Managing Director Brad Burton and Associate Guillermo Boisson represented the seller, Majestic Asset Management. The buyer, Penwood Real Estate Investment Management, was self-represented.
“This property is a high-image industrial facility within the very tight Conejo Valley submarket, which has one percent vacancy and few remaining land sites for industrial development,” said Hardy. “With the industrial sector throughout Southern California pointing to continued user demand dwindling functional supply, we see continued inflationary-plus rent growth for properties such as Conejo Spectrum. These rent trends, coupled with outstanding demographics, currently below market rents, and significant tenant investment in the project, Conejo Spectrum represents a wonderful low-risk investment opportunity for Penwood.”
Originally built in 1962, the asset was renovated in 2000 and is located at 1461 to 1475 Lawrence Drive. The facility is situated on a 17.9-acre site and is fully occupied by four tenants including Sensata Technologies, LAC Group, Kanner Corporation and MB2 Raceway. The asset also offers easy access to the 101 and 118 freeways as well as the greater San Fernando Valley.
Majestic has been extremely active completing approximately $200 million of transactions in 2017 and nearly $80 million year-to-date with several others pending. Due to the company’s linear structure that does not include equity partners or investment committees, Majestic is able to make the acquisition and disposition process extremely fluid.
