Orange County, CA (April 8, 2014) – Peter Castleton, Senior Vice President in Voit Real Estate Services/CORFAC International's Anaheim office, in partnership with Todd Clarke of Kidder Mathews, successfully directed the sale of a 125,000 square-foot asset in Garden Grove of which the proceeds were then exchanged into a new Class A, 210,000 square-foot distribution facility in Anaheim all on behalf of Regal Logistics.
Regal Logistics, a leading third party logistics provider specializing in high volume, mass retailer distribution, was looking to expand its warehouse footprint in the Southern California market requiring the sale of its existing warehouse in concurrence with the purchase of an expanded, new facility.
The initial warehouse, a Class A industrial building located at 12101 Western Ave. in Garden Grove was on the market 5 months when Karney Management Co. purchased it as an investment for $14,817,605.
Simultaneously, Castleton and Clarke were able to locate an ideal property for the expanded warehouse in a Class A distribution facility located at 2201 East Cerritos Avenue in Anaheim. Proceeds from the sale of the Garden Grove property were exchanged into the purchase of Regal’s new, expanded facility for a total consideration of $27,250,950.“This purchase by a leading logistics firm further illustrates the demand for quality assets in well located, infill areas,” according to Castleton.
At 210,000 square feet, Regal’s new facility is double the size of its previous warehouse and designed for high-volume, retail-compliant, quick-turnaround shipping with 32-foot clear height for maximum storage capacity and advanced technology infrastructure including Warehouse Management System (WMS), full Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capability and real time online shipment tracking with advanced dashboard.
In an excellent location near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach as well as immediate access to four major freeways including the 57, 5, 22 and 91 along with its close proximity to the 55 and 241 Transportation Corridor, the new distribution center will give customers more space and a broader choice of significant U.S. port gateways.
“With our larger facility, Regal offers 1.7 million square feet of flexible storage and three economically-significant port gateways complete with high performing Distribution Centers powered by one effective system that drives superior supply chain solutions for our customers,” says Garry Neeves, Vice President, Regal Logistics.
