SAN FRANCISCO (July 14, 2016) – SRS Real Estate Partners (SRS) is pleased to announce the sale of The Crossings, a 125,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by Safeway and Rite Aid in Antioch, Calif. The property is strategically located near U.S. Highway 4 at the corner of Hillcrest Avenue and Deer Valley Road. The seller was CNA Enterprises of Beverly Hills and the buyer was a partnership controlled by JK Properties of Campbell, Calif.
According to Mike Tantraphol, chief financial officer of CNA Enterprises, the sale was timed to capitalize on investor demand for high performing grocery anchored centers in the Bay Area. The surrounding area has been developed with upscale residential housing and a new Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station set to open next year. The new BART station is expected to greatly increase the shopper visits to the center due to the additional traffic count and adjacent Safeway gas station. The center’s new owner will enjoy the benefit of this additional traffic, along with impressive area demographics, an exceptional Safeway and anticipated re-tenanting.
“Our strategy was focused on extending the anchor leases, completing property renovations, and creating an asset that would maximize investor interest,” says Tantraphol. “We are extremely pleased with the collaborative effort amongst the team involved in managing this highly complex sale and assumption transaction,” he added.
Michael Federle, senior vice president with SRS’s San Francisco office represented the seller, a limited partnership managed by CNA Enterprises with whom he as worked with through much of his 35-year career. Mark Thomas, senior vice president with SRS’s San Jose office represented the buyer in his 8th investment transaction with JK Properties. Mark Ritchie of Newmark Realty Capital’s Los Angeles office was the assumption team manager and Alana Miller of Fidelity Title’s South San Jose office managed the escrow process. Mike Tantraphol, chief financial officer of CNA Enterprises managed the transaction for the seller.
