Grocery-anchored shopping center within Palm Springs MSA sells
JLL Capital Markets arranged the sale of the 162,380-square-foot Rancho Las Palmas located in Rancho Mirage, California
LOS ANGELES, May 6, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has completed the sale of Rancho Las Palmas, a 162,380-square-foot, grocery- and drug-anchored shopping center located within the Palm Springs MSA in Rancho Mirage, California.
JLL represented the seller, DRA Advisors and Paragon Commercial Group. Albanese Cormier acquired the asset.
Sitting on over 15 acres of land, the 96.5% leased center is anchored by soon-to-be-open Amazon Fresh, CVS and Hobby Lobby. The property also benefits from two drive-thru restaurants; Starbucks and In-N-Out, a unique competitive advantage due to zoning restrictions along Highway 111. Overall, the property sees approximately 1.7 million annual visitors.
Situated at 42240-42540 Bob Hope Dr., Rancho Las Palmas is ideally positioned off the main and main intersection of Highway 111 (68,700 VPD) and Bob Hope Drive (27,400 VPD). The property sits in an affluent submarket of Palm Springs, with an average household income of $129,901 within a five-mile radius. In addition, there are numerous high-end resorts, such as the Ritz Carlton and Omni Rancho Las Palmas, in close distance of the property, supported by the local Palm Springs Airport’s three million annual passengers. The property benefits from additional nearby demand drivers, including residential communities, over 20 golf courses, the College of the Desert, The Gardens on El Paseo, the Eisenhower Medical Center and Disney’s new Cotino community.
The JLL Retail Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Managing Directors Bryan Ley, Gleb Lvovich and Geoff Tranchina and Senior Directors Tim Kuruzar and Director Tess Berghoff.
“The sale of Rancho Las Palmas further illustrates the continued demand for dominant grocery and drug anchored shopping centers with strong further growth potential,” said Ley. “The sellers did a terrific job in executing their business plan over their hold period, and we look forward to all the growth ahead for the new buyer and the asset.”
