Santa Ana industrial facility sells for $46.5 million
Orange County-based Greenlaw Partners, a real estate development and investment management
firm, and Commonfund Realty, Inc. have acquired a 366,629-square-foot industrial facility
located at 2001-2007 E. Dyer Road in Santa Ana, California. Jeff Chiate and Rick Ellison
from Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, First Industrial Realty Trust, in the
transaction valued at $46.5 million. Greenlaw Partners was represented by Maury Panza of
Collins Commercial.
The building is located in the heart of the Irvine Business Complex in the Orange County
Airport submarket. It is adjacent to Tustin Legacy, a 1,600-acre mixed-use redevelopment of the
former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station. Irvine Business Complex features more than 18
million square feet of office space and approximately 30 million square feet of research and
development and industrial facilities.
First Industrial acquired the facility in December 2006, with the goal of repositioning the
property to serve businesses seeking larger high-quality industrial space.
“The Orange County industrial market is one of the tightest in the nation,” said
Chiate from Cushman & Wakefield. “Direct vacancies for the second quarter have
dropped to 2.7 percent and the market is expected to remain healthy throughout the
year.”
