January 17, 2008 (FPRC) -- IRVINE, CALIF. – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, one of the most dominant retail investment groups in California and a market leader in the sale of retail properties, announced today Edward B. Hanley and Bryan Land of Hanley Investment Group represented the buyer and seller in the sale of a grocery/drug anchored shopping center in Lindsay (Tulare County), Calif. The purchase price was $13,700,000, representing a 6.0 percent cap rate.

The 96,259-square-foot shopping center, known as Olivewood Plaza, is located at 202-265 North Highway 65 in Lindsay. With approximately 470 feet of freeway frontage, the property is positioned in the southeast quadrant of California State Highway 65 and Hermosa Street. The property is situated on 7.67 acres and is anchored by Save Mart Supermarket, Rite Aid, Starbucks, AutoZone, Taco Bell, Tulare County, Subway, Movie Gallery and Straw Hat Pizza. The four-building property was built in 1983, renovated in 2006, and was 94 percent occupied at the time of sale.

“The demand for grocery/drug anchored shopping centers in California remains high,” said Edward Hanley, president at Hanley Investment Group. “There is still a surplus of capital pursuing these types of properties that will continue to be prevalent in 2008.”

“Olivewood Plaza is the dominant shopping center in the city of Lindsay and is a secure and stable investment opportunity with Save Mart and Rite Aid having occupied space at the property since it was built in 1983,” said Bryan Land, associate at Hanley Investment Group. “It was a rare opportunity for the buyer to acquire a grocery/drug anchored shopping center with upside potential to lease the remaining vacant space and increase below market rents.”

The buyer was Olivewood Properties, LLC from Los Angeles, Calif. The seller was Raymond Plaza LLC of Calabasas, Calif.
