Transwestern Investment Group has acquired Arenth Commerce Center, the two-building industrial property located at 17891 – 17907 Arenth Ave. in Los Angeles.
“This investment complements our strategy to aggregate a portfolio of infill industrial assets in and around the Los Angeles market,” said John Higgins, Director of Acquisitions at TIG. “The property presented an opportunity to acquire an asset well below replacement cost in a landlord-friendly leasing environment with near-term rollover of existing tenants and rents well below market. The asset consists of one single-tenant and one multitenant building with staggered rollover and a variety of suite sizes providing attractive diversification within the property.”
The the 90,318 square feet property is in the City of Industry submarket, which has consistently been a top-performing industrial market across the nation. With a vacancy rate below 1.5% at the end of 2019, the City of Industry submarket has averaged more than 9% annual rent growth since 2014.
Arenth Commerce Center is fully leased, with ELA Lighting occupying the entire 49,000-square-foot building at 17891 Arenth Ave. TIG plans to invest in capital projects to improve the overall aesthetic and function of the property, including exterior paint and landscaping, signage and parking lot repairs.
