Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) has completed the $5.05 million sale of a two-story, 21,303-square-foot, office building in Laguna Niguel, CA.
David L. Kluver, managing director with NGKF represented the buyer, Sarshar Family Trust. The seller was DeCarion Living Trust. The closing price per square foot was $237.
Located at 29982 Ivy Glenn, the property was renovated in 2003 and features atrium style construction with extensive window lines.
The property was approximately 60 percent occupied at sale by Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. The balance of the multi-tenant space is vacant.
The buyer is planning on adding value to the asset by upgrading the vacant interior space in order to attract new tenants,” said Kluver. “By securing full occupancy and market rents, the buyer expects to establish a favorable cap rate of close to 9 percent.”
Kluver added that the local office market has a very low 5 percent vacancy rate and rising rents.
