GASKA Inc. Acquires 7,331 SQFT Retail Asset in Pico Rivera for $6.32MM

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 15, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $6.32 million sale of a recently renovated, two-tenant retail pad at Pico Rivera Plaza totaling 7,331 square feet net-leased to credit-worthy tenants in the Los Angeles County community of Pico Rivera, California.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Paragon Commercial Group. GASKA, Inc. acquired the asset.

The subject property is an outparcel to Pico Rivera Plaza and is situated on .51 acres at 8810 Whittier Blvd. in Pico Rivera, a community 12 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and on the southern edge of the San Gabriel Valley. This location, which is in a strong retail corridor along Whittier Boulevard, provides visibility to the more than 36,000 vehicles passing by each day, and the retail center is in a dense, infill location that serves more than 180,600 residents earning an average annual household income of $83,880 within a three-mile radius.

Fronting a high-profile shopping center anchored by Target and Food 4 Less, 8810 Whittier Blvd. is home to Pacific Dental Services, one of the fastest-growing private companies in America, and SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, which was voted the “Best Credit Union in California” according to Forbes. These two credit-worthy, best-in-class, essential retailers operate on triple-net leases, and the building, which was constructed in 1982, was most recently renovated in 2021.

The JLL Retail Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Director Adam Friedlander.

“Pad sites leased to credit-worthy tenants on long-term triple-net leases remain in high demand due to the higher yield offered and diversification of income stream,” Friedlander said. “Multi-tenant outparcels to grocery-anchored shopping centers typically trade at a better cap rate than stand-alone buildings. Outparcels such as these offer a diversification of income stream across multiple tenants rather than relying on a single tenant’s income.”
