BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – (RealEstateRama) — CBRE Executive Vice President Philip D. Voorhees and Senior Vice Presidents, Preston Fetrow and Kirk Brummer announced today that they, in conjunction with the National Retail Partners – West (NRP-West) team, completed the sale of Riverlakes Village, a 92,212-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center in the city of Bakersfield, Calif. The neighborhood shopping center, which was 97 percent leased at the time of sale, is anchored by Vons with a synergistic mix of high performing tenants such as CVS/pharmacy (NAP), US Bank, Starbucks, Chipotle, Supercuts, Verizon Wireless, Carl’s Jr. (NAP), and Bank of America (NAP).
CBRE’s retail investment experts Voorhees, Fetrow and Brummer, along with Jimmy Slusher, Megan Wood, Matt Burson, Sean Heitzler, James Tyrrell and John Read, represented the seller, Crow Holdings Capital Real Estate (CHC-RE), a Dallas-based manager of private real estate funds. The buyer was Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc.
According to Voorhees, “The yield premium in the secondary markets such as the Central Valley, is compelling for investors in today’s low cap rate environment and Riverlakes Village’s excellent grocery and restaurant sales, i.e. Chipotle, Steak and Grape’s and Me-N-Ed’s Pizza, demonstrate the quality of this location.”
Built in 1997, Riverlakes Village consists of six parcels totaling 9.48 acres at the southeast corner of Coffee Road and Hageman Road. This intersection provides immediate access to the area’s most established and affluent neighborhoods, which have an annual household income averaging nearly $100,000.
“Benefitting from grocery/pharmacy anchors, generating strong sales volumes from a convenient location in an affluent submarket, Riverlakes Village appealed to investor demand seeking strong real estate fundamentals,” said Brummer.
According to Voorhees, the CBRE team’s marketing system distributed more than 594 offering memoranda to investors and brokers, and through the team’s “managed bid” offer process, generated multiple offers to purchase the property.
