San Diego logistics center sells for $135M
JLL Capital Markets closed the sale of the four-building property in the highly sought-after Otay Mesa Industrial submarket
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 17, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced that it has closed the $135 million sale of Viva Logistics Center II, a four-building logistics center totaling 547,000 square feet of Class A, institutional-quality industrial space in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego, California.
JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Siempre Viva Industrial II, LLC, an IDS Real Estate Group-affiliated entity. EastGroup Properties acquired the asset.
Viva Logistics Center II features a combination of cross-dock and rear-load buildings with clear heights ranging from 24 to 32 feet, ample dock loading positions, wide column spacing, deep truck courts, low office finish and ample parking. The buildings were constructed between 2001 and 2003 and recently extensively renovated and rebranded. More information about the project can be found at vivalogisticscenter.com.
Situated on 29 acres at 8690 Kerns St., 2660 Sarnen St. and 8863 and 9043 Siempre Viva Rd., Viva Logistics Center II is in the Otay Mesa Industrial submarket which, according to JLL Research’s recent San Diego Industrial Insight report, has a record low vacancy of 3.9 percent at the end of the third quarter. The submarket is also adjacent to the U.S.-Mexico border and less than two miles from the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Mark Detmer, Senior Director Ryan Sitov, Director Ryan Spradling and Analysts Taylor Neiman and Makenna Peter, along with Vice President Andy Irwin and Executive Vice President Greg Lewis with the JLL Industrial Brokerage team.
“The San Diego industrial market is performing extremely well, and institutional capital has taken note over the past 24 months,” Spradling said. “The Viva Logistics Center is one of the premier industrial projects in the market, which is evident in the strong pricing it garnered. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with IDS Real Estate Group throughout this process and look forward to helping EastGroup fill up the vacancies moving forward.”
