MCA Realty, a Southern California real estate investment and management company, has invested more than $9.7 million to acquire four industrial properties in Las Vegas, according to Tyler Mattox, a principal in the firm.
The acquisitions bring MCA Realty’s Las Vegas portfolio to 14 properties and more than 600,000 square feet in Las Vegas.
“The Las Vegas market has demonstrated significant growth over the past 24 months,” Mattox said. “Our firm began acquiring industrial assets in this market in 2011. At that time, value-add industrial product was plentiful, whereas today, an influx of capital has caused prices to increase and made opportunities more difficult to uncover.”
MCA Realty’s four acquisitions include:
• Aabacus Industrial Center, at 3200 & 3280 West Sunset Road in Las Vegas. MCA Realty and joint venture partner Saunders Property Co. acquired the complex totaling 58,240 square feet for $68 per square foot. Academy Bank provided the financing on behalf of MCA Realty, which was represented by Dan Doherty, Chris Lane, Jerry Doty, and Susan Borst of Colliers International. The seller, a special servicer, was represented by Chris Beets and Ben Mills of Newmark Knight Grubb Frank.
• A 31,000-square-foot multi-tenant industrial building at 2750 W. Brooks Avenue in North Las Vegas. Mattox noted this property is located in the same industrial park as Cheyenne West Business Center, which also is owned by MCA Realty. The price was $55 per square foot for the building which was less than 50 percent occupied. Rob Lujan of JLL assisted MCA Realty in the transaction.
• A 26,000-square-foot single-tenant industrial building at 6335 Sunset Corporate Drive, near McCarran International Airport, for $85 per square foot. MCA Realty purchased the property in a bankruptcy sale and was represented by Dan Doherty and Dean Willmore of Colliers International. During escrow, MCA Realty was successful in securing a 10-year lease extension with existing tenant Southwest Linen.
• A 21,807-square-foot single-tenant industrial building at 2020 Pama Lane, also near the airport, was acquired by MCA Realty and joint venture partner Saunders Property Co. at $85 per square foot. The property is a manufacturer and distributer of a natural sweetener, and was purchased from a lender through a court-ordered bankruptcy sale. “We were able to secure a 10-year lease with the existing tenant in this asset as well, resulting in an attractive ‘in place’ yield at close of escrow,” Mattox said. MCA Realty was represented by Danielle Steffen and Amy Ogden at Cushman & Wakefield.
Four medical office deals
CBRE recently brokered several medical office building transactions, including three for Coast Dental.
“There are very few trades of medical office buildings in our market as investors realize the more stable investment of owning medical office when compared with other product types,” broker Marlene Fujita Winkel said. “Tenants spend significantly more dollars per square foot on tenant improvements. Their patients don’t like change, and changing locations becomes a true disruption to a doctor’s business. The returns on medical office buildings may not be as high as office or retail, but the risk tends to be worth the price.”
The Coast Dental transactions include:
• $1,550,000 for Coast Dental Windmill, encompassing 4,490 square feet at 2660 Windmill Pkwy., Henderson. The buyer is Brilliance Holdings, LLC, represented by Tin Lee of Skyline Properties in Bellevue, Wash.
• $1,225,000 for Coast Dental Flamingo, encompassing 3,528 square feet, 8445 W. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas. The buyer is Luis M. Chibras Romero and Ivan E. Chibras Rabell, represented by Trent Billingsly of EBO Realty.
• $407,000 for Coast Dental Pahrump, encompassing 2,058 square feet, 1420 E. Highway 372, Pahrump. The buyer is Hung Nguyen and Hoa-Dao Phan, represented by Hendry Dang of ML Consulting & Development, Garden Grove, Calif.
Charles Moore, Fujita Winkel and M. Laura Hart of CBRE Las Vegas represented the seller, Sonrisa Venture, LP, in all three deals.
Moore and Fujita Winkel also represented the buyer in the $710,000 purchase of three medical office buildings located near St. Rose De Lima Hospital. The properties, encompassing 24,200 square feet, are at 106, 108 and 110 E. Lake Mead Pkwy., Henderson. Both the buyer and seller are confidential, and the seller was not represented.
VA building sold
The 35,000-square-foot Veterans Administration Building at 3968 Rancho Dr., Las Vegas, was sold for $26.75 million.
The Veterans Administration has a long-term lease, is not changing locations and remains the sole occupant.
The building was purchased as an investment. Both the buyer and the seller are confidential, brokers said.
Charles Moore and Marlene Fujita Winkel, both of CBRE Las Vegas, represented the buyer and seller.
$2 million land deal
Fleetpark LLC sold 10.04 acres of land at 3940 E. Lone Mountain Rd. to Swift Transportation Co. of Arizona LLC for $2 million. Ben Millis and Chris Beets of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank represented the seller; Wayne Uhlir of Arizona Industrial Advisors represented the buyer.
