The West Los Angeles real estate investment trust said it purchased a 31,037-square-foot industrial building near Burbank Bob Hope Airport in Burbank called the Vanowen. It also acquired a 72,000-square-foot industrial facility in Paramount. Both facilities were fully occupied at close and were acquired for a total of $8.3 million. The REIT tapped its existing line of credit to make the purchases. “We purchased both of these buildings in off-market transactions where our relationships and ability to close quickly were decided advantages,” said Co-Chief Executives Howard Schwimmer and Michael Frankel in a statement.
