LEASE BY APPLIANCE ADVANTAGE IN VENTURA SIGNALS
CITY'S INTEREST IN SMALL BUSINESS, RECYCLING



VENTURA, CA -- Signaling what project officials say is the City of Ventura's (CA) commitment to advancing  small business growth while enhancing the environment, Appliance Advantage, a recycle of used appliances, has leased 5040 sq. ft. of space in that community, announces Westcord Commercial Real Estate Services.

Appliance Advantage schedules a June 1 occupancy of facilities familiar as the former home of Taylor Rents located at 4547-A Telephone Rd., Ventura.  Goodyear Tire occupies the balance of the 10,000 sq. ft. structure.  Appliance Advantage was formerly located at 2159 Palma Dr., Ventura.

Patti Kutschko and Joe Lopez of Van Nuys, CA-based Westcord represented both Ted Teetsel, owner of Appliance Advantage, and The Stanley Works, the landlord.  Term of the lease is 5.5 years; consideration was not disclosed.

Commenting on the transaction, Nan Drake, a Ventura-based public affairs consultant who assisted Appliance Advantage in gaining approvals for its use, said: "This shows that the City of Ventura and Planning Manager Dennis MacKay are behind businesses seeking to grow.  It also reflects government's interest in promoting recycling, reconditioning and re-use of older appliances to help the environment.  Accompanying benefits include providing re-conditioned household products to people who can't afford new ones, and generating tax monies for the city."

Westcord is one of the Los Angeles area's top 25 commercial real estate companies with offices in Westlake Village, CA, Van Nuys, CA, and Lancaster, CA.  Another office will open soon in Valencia, CA.
