In a fast-paced out-of-state trade, NewQuest Properties has brokered the sale of a net-leased property occupied by Cardinal Logistics, the largest transporter of milk, cheese and butter to producers of Land O’ Lakes’ products.
Marc Peeler, a NewQuest vice president, represented CA Land Group LLC,the seller of a 2,600-sf building on five acres at 2861 South K St. in Tulare, Calif. The deal went full circle within six days, with the deed passing to the Bardin Family Trust, a local 1031 Exchange buyer.
“From Day One, we knew that the lease structure was going to sell the deal not the real estate,” Peeler says. “The part that makes me proud is I was able to dip into the California market as a Texas broker and execute the deal so quickly.”
According to Peeler, Cardinal Logistics’ Tulare operation handles 85% of the agricultural products for Land O’ Lakes’producers, including Kraft Co. and Saputo Inc. Gabe Wilson of Ally Commercial represented the buyer.
Tulare is a farming community situated between Fresno and Bakersfield, Calif. It is home to the World Ag Expo, an international outdoor agricultural exposition that draws more than 100,000 attendees each year.
Peeler also brokered the off-market sale of two retail buildings in the Shoppes at Alamo Ranch at 11840 Alamo Ranch Parkway in northwest San Antonio. The NewQuest broker represented the seller/developer in a direct deal with an undisclosed buyer. The trades were completed within 45 days.
Alamo 1, totaling 23,800 sf, was 90% leased at sale time. The second just-sold building, which is under construction, features 9,604 sf of fully pre-leased space.
Northwest San Antonio historically is the city’s leading retail submarket. According to Q3 market reports, the sector’s 29.77 million sf of built shops are 95.3% occupied. There is 96,500 sf under construction.
“The location and rents were the attraction,” Peeler says. “Being able to acquire two brand-new assets off market is a win-win for both sides in this unknown environment, especially knowing there is room for future rent growth.”
