INVESTMENT VEHICLE: Fund IV

LOCATION: Los Angeles Metro

YEAR ACQUIRED: 2020

PROPERTY: Office/industrial asset totaling 573,167 square feet

OPPORTUNITY

  • Torrance Technology Campus is an office/industrial asset that totals 573,167 square feet located in Torrance, CA (Los Angeles Metro) that was sourced through a local leasing broker relationship

  • The asset was purchased in September 2016 with approximately 70% occupancy

 

VALUE CREATION STRATEGY

  • The investment presented an opportunity to purchase a well-located asset below replacement cost in a supply constrained market (Los Angeles MSA)

  • Leveraged the leasing relationship to secure a new 15-year, ~460,000 square foot lease with the largest tenant expanding its footprint in the property by an additional ~120,000 square feet by committing to address significant deferred maintenance at the property

  • Executed a 5-year, ~60,000 square foot renewal lease with another tenant pushing occupancy up to ~91%

 

RESULT

  • After executing the property renovation and tenant improvements, we sold the building in January 2019 for approximately 1.9x our original purchase price
