Rexford Industrial Realty has recently acquired an industrial property in Cerritos, Calif., in the low-vacancy Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket.
16010 Shoemaker Avenue, Cerritos (Yardi Matrix)
The company, which operates in the Southern California infill markets, purchased the 115,600-square-foot building in a $17.2 million transaction—equating to $149 per square foot. The buyer funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and draws from its line of credit.
“We continue to capitalize on our deep market knowledge and ability to uncover off-market acquisition opportunities as a consolidator within infill Southern California, the nation’s largest and most sought-after industrial market,” Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel, co-chief executive officers at Rexford Industrial, said in a statement.
The property located on a 4.41-acre site at 16010 Shoemaker Avenue is fully leased to a single tenant with a near-term lease expiration. The new owner plans to complete some minor cosmetic and functional upgrades upon a lease renewal or a re-tenanting.
The one-story building originally completed in 1985 features 24-foot clearance and 12 dock-high positions, and benefits from easy access to major transportation arterials. The industrial asset is located within a low-vacancy area; according to CBRE, at the close of Q4 2017, the vacancy rate in the Los Angeles Mid-Counties submarket was 0.9%.
Rexford Industrial has several other properties in that submarket, including an industrial building at 14830 Carmenita Road & 13555 Excelsior Drive in Norwalk; the warehouses at 14820 Carmenita Road, Norwalk, and at 12907 Imperial Highway, Santa Fe Springs; and an industrial complex at 9641 Santa Fe Springs Road, Santa Fe Springs.
