Hanley Investment Group Reps Buyer & Seller in $47.2 Million Sale of Shopping Center in Chino Hills

PRLog (Press Release) – May 02, 2008 – IRVINE, CALIF. – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, one of the most dominant retail investment groups in Southern California and a market leader in the sale of retail properties, announced today Edward B. Hanley, president of Hanley Investment Group, represented the buyer and seller in the sale of a high profile neighborhood shopping center in Chino Hills, Calif. The purchase price was $47.2 million, representing a record breaking $487 per square foot.

The 96,959-square-foot shopping center, known as Gateway Village, is located at 3560-3670 Grand Avenue in Chino Hills. Situated directly adjacent to the Chino Valley (State Highway 71) Freeway at the Grand Avenue exit, Gateway Village is situated on 13.86 acres. Approximately 81 percent of the total property’s square footage consisted of national and regional credit tenants that included Henry’s Market (Wild Oats Market Inc.), Baja Fresh, Bank of America, Chevron, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Chick-Fil-A and Chili’s. The eight-building property consisted of three phases. Phase I and II were built in 2003, while Phase III was built in 2006. The property was 100 percent occupied at the time of sale.

“The property is a high profile, pride of ownership investment that boasts an exceptional tenant mix, irreplaceable location, newer construction, and outstanding demographics,” said Edward Hanley, president of Hanley Investment Group.

“This assignment was very challenging due to the fact a buyer had to be identified that was capable of assuming three different CMBS loans requiring more than a 50 percent down payment,” noted Hanley.

“The transaction represented a record breaking price per square foot in the county for a neighborhood shopping center and at the same time satisfied the buyer’s return on capital requirement. Both the buyer and seller were extremely pleased with the closing of this transaction,” Hanley added.

The buyer was Grand Gateway I, II, and III, LLC of Los Angeles, Calif. The seller was Gateway Village I, II, and III, LP of Newport Beach, Calif.
