INVESTOR BUYS NORTHRIDGE RETAIL, THOUSAND OAKS
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES IN $2.7 MILLION EXCHANGE






NORTHRIDGE, CA -- A Northridge, CA investment company has completed the acquisition of retail and industrial property leased investments in Northridge and Thousand Oaks, respectively, as part of a tax-deferred exchange valued at approximately $2.7 million, announces Westcord Commercial Real Estate Services.

Joe Lopez, president of the Van Nuys, CA office of Westcord, reports that Durose Corp. purchased a 17,000 sq. ft. retail center on a half acre at the southwest corner of  Reseda Blvd. and Parthenia St. occupied by Auto Zone and Smog Test Only.

Also acquired was as 5000 sq. ft. automotive-oriented industrial facility on one-third of an acre at 102 Cunningham St., Thousand Oaks, occupied by Skeeters Performance Shop.  This property was represented by Rick Principe, CEO of Westcord, who is also a principal in TR Funding, the seller.

Joe Lopez and Jill Lopez, also of Westcord, represented Durose Corp. in both transactions, as well as M&A Gabaee CLP, the seller of the Northridge property.

Joe Lopez reported that the exchange transaction was triggered with Durose's recent sale of a Sun Valley, CA mobile home park.  Durose hired Westcord to locate properties for an all-cash re-investment of proceeds from that sale, and to include retail in the package.

Lopez added that both properties will be managed by Westcord Valley Management of Van Nuys, an affiliate of Westcord Commercial Real Estate Services.

Westcord is one of the Los Angeles area's top 25 commercial real estate companies with offices in Westlake Village, CA, and Van Nuys, CA.
