Two Lee & Associates Offices Team Up for $8.5 Million Industrial Deal
Torrance, CA – February 23, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — Lee & Associates, the nation’s largest broker-owned commercial real estate services firm, represented both the buyer and the seller in the $8.5 million sale of a 189,990-square foot industrial property at 13780 Central Ave., in Chino, Calif.
Executive VP Bill Heim and Vice President Eloy Covarrubius out of Lee & Associates’ Ontario office represented buyer DCT Industrial. Senior VP Jack Cline, Vice President Patrick Bogan and Vice President Steve Coulter of Lee’s City of Industry office teamed to represent seller Gamm Enterprises in the transaction.
“This transaction shows how two separate Lee & Associates offices can pair up to find the best buyer and seller for any particular asset,” Cline said. “The end result in this case bodes well for both parties, including the buyer, which plans on renovating the property and putting it back on the market to lease out.”
Added Covarrubius: “Historically, Chino has had low vacancy rates and the barrier-to-entry has been exceptionally difficult. This is a great investment for DCT Industrial, based on that fact, plus the asset’s location and the functionality of the building with rail service.”
Dan Floriani, who is in charge of leasing and acquisitions for DCT’s Southern California office, led the Buyer’s efforts to acquire the property. The single-building property was built in 1988. It is located near the 60 and 71 freeways, as well as the Chino Airport, in the heart of Southern California’s Inland Empire.
