CBRE’s Philip D. Voorhees and NRP-West Team Complete Sale of Edinger Plaza in Huntington Beach, Calif.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – (RealEstateRama) — CBRE Executive Vice President Philip D. Voorhees announced today that the National Retail Partners-West (NRP-West) completed the sale of Edinger Plaza in Orange County, California, a power shopping center, 99 percent leased to high performing, national and regional credit tenants including Nordstrom Rack, Dick’s Sporting Goods, PetSmart, Michaels, among others.
CBRE retail experts Megan Wood, Jimmy Slusher, Sean Heitzler and Voorhees represented the seller, Watt Companies, a Santa Monica-based real estate investment company. The buyer, also represented by the NRP-West team, is Stockbridge, who purchased the property on behalf of its Smart Markets Fund, an open-end core vehicle.
“Edinger Plaza enjoys one of the best retail locations in Orange County, across the street from Bella Terra and with proximity to Costco and hundreds of residential units,” said Voorhees. “All the project’s anchor tenants produce strong if not exceptional sales volumes. This transaction winds down a long-standing, successful partnership, and kicks off a tremendous opportunity for Stockbridge, one of the most sophisticated real estate operators in the country.”
Watt Companies originally developed the 155,275-square-foot Edinger Plaza in 1976, significantly redeveloping the project in 2012. Situated on 13.46 acres of land, Edinger Plaza is located at 7490-7664 Edinger Avenue, between Gothard Street and Beach Boulevard.
“With this acquisition, Stockbridge acquired one of Huntington Beach’s dominant shopping centers in a dynamic, affluent, infill coastal trade area,” said Slusher. “Investments in Huntington Beach should outperform for investors in all market conditions.”
According to Heitzler, CBRE’s marketing efforts produced more than 409 confidentiality agreement/offering memoranda distributed and through the team’s “managed bid” offer process, generated multiple offers to purchase the property.
Wood added, “The strong competition to acquire Edinger Plaza demonstrates investors’ preference to own top quality assets with seasoned, high credit, high-performing tenancy, even without a grocer as an anchor.”
With this closing, CBRE’s NRP-West team topped $10.9 billion in successfully closed retail investment sale transactions.
