The acquisitions were funded using cash on hand.With these deals, Rexford has now acquired over $850 mil of industrial properties located in prime infill Southern California locations thus far in 2019.
In the largest of the three purchases, Rexford acquired 12752-12822 Monarch St in Garden Grove, within the Orange County – West submarket, for $34 mil, or $130/sf of building, equal to $70/sf of land. The property consists of a four-tenant industrial building containing 276.6k sf on 11.1 acres and is currently 93% occupied. NKF’s Kevin Shannon, Scott Schumacher, Ken White, Jeff Read and Bret Hardy represented the seller, Penwood Real Estate and Western Realco.
The company intends to reposition the property with functional and cosmetic improvements and replace a portion of the building with new improvements. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 42 msf Orange County – West submarket was 2.0% at the end of the third quarter 2019.
Rexford bought 508 East E Street, located in Wilmington within the LA – South Bay submarket, for $14.9 mil, or $259/sf. The property is located immediately adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles and consists of a 100% occupied low-coverage industrial building containing 57.5k sf on 3.45 acres.
The property is occupied by three tenants at below-market rents and features a modern building with excess land providing a large paved yard for container storage.
