L.A. retail portfolio goes for $60 million

A two-building retail portfolio in the Los Angeles area recently sold to American Commercial Equities LLC for more than $60 million.

“Both properties were purchased as fully leased investments and were part of a 1031 exchange,” according to David Ickovics, managing director at GVA Charles Dunn, the brokerage that handled the deal.

The seller was a private investor who had owned both buildings for the past 35 years.

The three-story retail/office building located in the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle was fully occupied at the time of purchase by several ground-floor retail tenants and office space users on the upper floors.

The other property, a single-story building located on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, was fully occupied at closing by four retail tenants, and includes a large rear parking lot.
