Lopez and Edward B. Hanley represented the buyer and seller in the purchase and sale of the ground floor retail portion of the development known as Market Lofts. The purchase price was $18.95 million.
Located at 645 West 9th Street in Downtown Los Angeles, the innovative, high-end, mixed-use retail development totals approximately 55,000 square feet. Built in 2007, the fully-occupied retail building includes an approximate 50,000-square-foot Ralphs Fresh Fare and 6 other retail stores: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Quiznos, Robeks, Simply Salad, Supercuts and The UPS Store.
“Downtown Los Angeles is probably the most dynamic real estate marketplaces in all of Southern California, if not the entire United States,” said Carlos Lopez, President of HI Urban Retail Advisors. “The footprint of Downtown Los Angeles will be adding more mid and high-rise apartment buildings, new hotel developments, world class museums, football stadiums, a potential street car and the arrival of exciting retailers and restaurants.”
Lopez adds, “The Ralphs building is positioned to benefit from the dynamic population growth and future planned development. It’s going to be exciting to see this all take place and the incredible growth moving forward.”
