21415-21615 Plummer St., Chatsworth
Square Footage: 231,770
Deal Value: $42 million
The CBRE team brokered the sale of a 231,770 square foot, two- building office/flex property in Chatsworth (within Chatsworth Business Park) for $42 million – equivalent to $106 per land square foot. CBRE represented the seller, Laramar Group, a national real estate investment and management company. The buyer was Rexford Industrial. At the time of sale, both buildings were 85% leased to two tenants, including the County of Los Angeles, which had been at the property since 2000. Upon lease expirations, Rexford’s intent was to redevelop the 9.1 acres of industrially zoned land by removing the existing 231,770 square feet of legacy flex/office improvements and constructing two Class A, 32-foot-clear warehouse buildings totaling 182,000 square feet.
An incredibly strong demand in the market for Class-A industrial space created a unique opportunity to redevelopment low-rise office to industrial in infill locations. It was very rare to find a 9.1-acre industrially zoned redevelopment opportunity with income in an infill location such as the San Fernando Valley. Taking a broader look at the market, the unprecedented demand for infill warehouse distribution space coupled with the accelerated rent growth for Class-A warehouse distribution space was creating an opportunity for investors to redevelop low-rise, surface-parked suburban office buildings to state-of-the-art industrial in various infill locations.
