Prologis Purchases Another Industrial Property in Compton
Torrance, CA – October 3, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — Prologis, a leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, has acquired an industrial property in Compton, Calif. Peter D. Bacci and Jack Cline of Lee & Associates, one of the leading broker-owned commercial real estate firms in the nation, represented the buyer and seller of the 132,926-square-foot property, located at 175 East Manville Street.
Prologis, who already owns two adjacent industrial properties, plans to commence rehab work on the site’s existing building immediately. The seller, Felix Family Trust, used the property for their bedframe manufacturing operation. Bacci and Cline originally sold the property to Felix Manufacturing in 1996.
“This deal worked out perfectly for both sides,” said Cline. “The Felix family believed it was a good time to sell and the property fits into Prologis’ long-term goal of acquiring well located industrial real estate near ports and freeways.”
The 1954-built industrial building has numerous dock-high positions including a flat bed dock for loading, excellent freeway access and heavy power. Having not been remodeled in years, the property will also greatly benefit from Prologis’ planned modifications.
“There is currently a lack of available industrial properties for sale, resulting in numerous offers and an active market,” added Bacci. “Our team had 175 East Manville under contract within 30 days.”
