Pharmaceutical giant buys in California

Marcus & Millichap arranged the sale of a 114,000-square foot warehouse/manufacturing building in the Cabot and Forbes Industrial Park in South San Francisco, Calif.

The property commanded an $11.2 million sales price.

A Palm Desert, Calif., private investor sold the property through a 1031 exchange to South San Francisco-based Genentech Inc., an international pharmaceutical company.

The two-store office portion of approximately 30,000 square feet has a large lobby, elevator, conference room and show rooms. The tenant, Keeco, a manufacturer, importer and wholesaler of soft goods, has occupied the premises in good standing with a triple-net lease since 1987. The current lease is valid through the end of 2005.
