Mission Grove Plaza

Matthews™ Serves as Development Advisor to Seller in $20M Mission Grove Plaza Sale

RIVERSIDE, CA—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, served as development advisor to the seller in the disposition of Mission Grove Plaza, a 7.5-acre development site located at 375 E Alessandro Boulevard in Riverside, CA. Matthews™ Executive Vice Presidents Stew Weston and Rosie Cooper guided the development strategy throughout the transaction. Originally marketed as a fully entitled 9.97-acre development opportunity for 347 residential units, the property’s strategy evolved through the advisory process as a lower-density townhome concept emerged as a more compelling use for the site. Drawing on $3.5 billion of development experience, Matthews™ approached Mission Grove Plaza from a developer’s perspective, bringing an ownership mindset to the site’s entitlement strategy, site planning, design efficiency, development potential, and underlying economics. This approach helped Matthews™ identify opportunities to reposition the site, provide strategic guidance as the development plan evolved, and ultimately help the seller maximize the property’s value. The buyer ultimately identified a 180-unit townhome community as the preferred development strategy. During escrow, the site was re-entitled through a substantial conformance process to accommodate the new development plan. “The City of Riverside was an excellent partner throughout the process, and the buyer’s discipline in navigating the substantial conformance process during escrow made for a seamless closing,” Cooper said. “We are looking forward to seeing the vertical construction commence shortly. The project will be a meaningful addition to the Mission Grove community.” The property is strategically positioned along Alessandro Boulevard near Mission Grove Parkway, offering convenient access to I-215 and connectivity throughout Riverside and the broader Inland Empire. Nearby employment and retail destinations include March Air Reserve Base, Moreno Valley Mall, and downtown Riverside, with nearly 800,000 jobs located within a 20-mile radius. Strong surrounding demographics further support the location, with average household incomes exceeding $145,000 within two miles of the property.

Longtime SoMa Automotive Facility Hits Market as Service Locations Grow Scarcer

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, recently brought to market a longtime automotive repair facility at 998 Folsom Street in San Francisco’s SoMa district for lease. The property has supported automotive operations for more than 40 years and comes available as redevelopment pressure and limited options make established service locations increasingly difficult for automotive users to replace. Matthews™ Senior Associate Belall Ahmed and Associate Micah Baylor are exclusively marketing the property for lease. The 2,665-square-foot automotive repair facility sits on an approximately 5,050-square-foot corner parcel and features infrastructure already suited to automotive operations, including an oversized service bay with approximately 20-foot clear height, a wide service area capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, and an exterior vehicle lift, frontage parking, and prominent building signage opportunities. The property is being offered at a base rent of $3.00 per square foot plus $0.53 per square foot NNN and is expected to be available for occupancy Dec. 31. Unlike traditional commercial space, automotive facilities require a specific combination of vehicle access, service infrastructure, parking, and land-use compatibility. Those requirements can narrow the pool of viable properties in dense urban markets such as San Francisco, particularly as lower-density service sites face pressure from redevelopment and competing land uses. “This was a unique opportunity to bring a highly functional automotive property to market in one of San Francisco’s most established automotive corridors,” Baylor said. “The combination of a long-standing automotive use, excellent visibility, existing improvements, and immediate access to major transportation routes made this a compelling opportunity for an operator looking to establish or expand their presence in SoMa.” Located at the signalized corner of Folsom and 6th Streets in San Francisco’s SoMa district, the property is surrounded by a concentration of automotive repair, body, and service businesses. That clustering has made this portion of SoMa a longstanding destination for automotive services, with operators benefiting from proximity to complementary businesses and an existing customer base accustomed to seeking vehicle-related services in the area. More than 21,000 vehicles pass the property daily, while immediate access to I-80, US-101, and I-280 provides connectivity throughout San Francisco and the broader Bay Area.

The Promenade Marina City Club

Marina Del Rey Waterfront Community Trades for First Time in 20 Years

LOS ANGELES, CA—A rarely traded waterfront multifamily and marina asset in Marina del Rey has changed hands for the first time in 20 years. Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, represented the buyer and seller in the disposition of The Promenade, a 101-unit multifamily community located at 4333 Admiralty Way, along with its 303-slip marina and nearly 30,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. Matthews™ Executive Vice Presidents Stew Weston and Rosie Cooper facilitated the transaction. “Assets like The Promenade rarely come to market; waterfront multifamily with a private marina of this scale is essentially irreplaceable in Los Angeles County,” Weston said. “Twenty years of single ownership tells you everything about how tightly held this property has been.” The Promenade is part of Marina City Club, a prominent Marina del Rey waterfront development that includes three high-rise towers containing 600 residential condominiums. Averaging approximately 1,240 square feet, the asset’s 101 residences feature two- and three-bedroom units accounting for more than 90% of the unit mix. Residents at Marina City Club benefit from an extensive collection of resort-style amenities, including multiple swimming pools, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, as well as a half-mile waterfront promenade with numerous dining and entertainment options within walking distance. “The combination of boat slips and direct waterfront access gives this asset a lifestyle appeal you simply can’t replicate,” Cooper said. “We’re proud to have guided the seller through a transaction of this significance.” Also being marketed for sale by Matthews™ is El Camino Real Oceanside, a 10.97-acre residential development site in Oceanside, California. The coastal infill site is designated for medium-density residential development and allows densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre, offering flexibility for a range of housing types.

Leveraging the firm’s proprietary database and extensive net lease investor network, Matthews™ directly sourced a private 1031 exchange buyer seeking to consolidate proceeds from a multifamily sale in New Jersey into a single investment property in the Tampa Bay area. Matthews™ maintained diligent communication between both parties, ultimately facilitating an all-cash close in just 21 days. “Our philosophy is simple. Treat others the way you want to be treated,” Tamir said. “The Golden Rule is at the core of how we operate with our clients, allowing us to build relationships rooted in trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to success.” For more information, please contact Michael Tamir, Chad Kurz, and Kevin Puder or visit www.matthews.com.

Fully leased at the time of acquisition, the asset offers established tenancy while providing flexibility to restructure leases with the existing tenants. “Quality IOS assets in DFW continue to be in high demand,” Wiesemann said. “Groups such as CanTex Capital are focusing on quality more than ever.” Seeking to expand its DFW industrial portfolio, CanTex Capital targeted a highly functional IOS asset that offered both an attractive basis and long-term flexibility. Understanding the buyer’s acquisition objectives, Matthews™ leveraged its deep local relationships to identify opportunity and connect CanTex with the private seller, who had developed the property and was ready to monetize the investment.

Three-story brick apartment building at 140 Carlton Avenue in the Jersey City mixed-use property sale

Matthews™ Executes Disposition of Jersey City Mixed-Use Asset in 60-Days

JERSEY CITY, NJ—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, represented the buyer and seller in the $1,850,000 disposition of 10 condominium units within a mixed-use property located at 140 Carlton Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey. Matthews™ Senior Vice President & Director David Ferber, CPA, facilitated the $1,850,000 transaction.   Located in The Heights, the asset offers convenient access to Journal Square commuter rail, the Hoboken/NJ Transit Terminal, and major thoroughfares including Tonnelle Avenue. The three-story property spans 5,957 square feet and features a dedicated 700-square-foot ground-floor retail space, complemented by a 100 percent free-market residential rent roll consisting of ten one-bedroom, one-bath apartments averaging approximately 680 square feet.   The seller, who had maintained a long-standing relationship with Ferber, brought the property to market as part of a strategic decision to capitalize on buyer demand while prioritizing a timely and certain closing. Ferber positioned the asset and sourced a value-add investor within the first week of marketing at 95 percent of the asking price with no contingencies. Matthews™ coordinated closely with both parties and their financing sources to structure multiple loans and facilitate the transfer of the property’s separately held ownership interests, ultimately facilitating an all-cash closing in under 60 days at $185,000 per unit. The buyer plans to renovate the residential units and pursue average rent increases of approximately 15 to 20 percent while improving the property for long-term ownership.   “This sale shows the value of staying close to owners well before they are ready to transact. We first advised the seller years ago, continued to discuss the market and strategy, and were ready to move quickly when the timing became right. Within the first week, we delivered an offer that gave the seller both a strong price and a high degree of closing certainty, ” Ferber said. “This was not a standard 10-unit closing. The fractured ownership structure required several loans, careful coordination, and a clear plan for bringing every piece together. Solving that complexity while preserving the buyer’s no-contingency commitment was a major reason the seller could move forward with confidence.”   For more information, please contact David Ferber or visit www.matthews.com.

Newly constructed 7-Eleven convenience store in Kissimmee, FL, sold in the Orlando MSA

Matthews™ Executes $10.9M Disposition of One of the Highest-Priced 7-Eleven’s in Orlando MSA

ORLANDO, FL—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, successfully executed the acquisition of a 7-Eleven located at 2870 Formosa Gardens Blvd in Kissimmee, FL. Matthews™ Associate Vice President Chase Cameron facilitated the $10,932,500 transaction, marking the second-highest sale price for a 7-Eleven sold in the Orlando MSA within the last year. Located in the Osceola Outlying submarket, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and access along U.S. Highway 192, one of Central Florida’s primary retail corridors serving both residents and the region’s millions of annual visitors. Positioned less than three miles from Walt Disney World, the newly constructed convenience store is occupied by 7-Eleven under a long-term corporate lease, offering stable cash flow in one of the nation’s fastest-growing retail markets. The buyer, a private California-based investment group and repeat client of Matthews™, sought to expand its portfolio with a newly constructed net lease asset offering stable long-term cash flow. Leveraging his extensive network of net lease investors, Cameron sourced the opportunity and identified the property as an ideal acquisition given 7-Eleven’s strong credit profile and the asset’s eligibility for 100% bonus depreciation. Seeking to capitalize on the value created through the completed development, the seller prioritized a buyer capable of closing on schedule without financing contingencies. Maintaining close coordination between both parties throughout the transaction, Cameron guided the acquisition through closing, as the buyer’s all-cash offer, proven track record of execution, and ability to close without financing contingencies aligned with the seller’s priority for a timely, reliable transaction. “Our priority is understanding our clients’ investment goals and identifying opportunities that align with their long-term strategy,” Cameron said. “Our proprietary database, technology platform, and nationwide relationships allow us to execute with the speed, certainty, and market insight our clients expect.” For more information, please contact Chase Cameron or visit www.matthews.com.

Matthews™ Delivers Record Sale of Institutional Industrial Asset in Indianapolis

GREENWOOD, IN—Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, represented the buyer and seller in the disposition of an industrial property located at 927 N Emerson Ave in Greenwood, Indiana. Matthews™ Executive Vice President & Senior Director Alexander Harrold and First Vice President Brett Davis facilitated the $9,500,000 transaction, with Kyle Matthews as the broker of record. The sale marked the highest price for an industrial property sold within the Johnson County submarket in the last year. Located within the high-growth suburb of the Indianapolis MSA, the property benefits from immediate access to Interstate 65, one of the Midwest’s primary logistics corridors connecting Chicago, Indianapolis, and Louisville. Built in 2016, the institutional-quality industrial facility spans approximately 125,000 square feet on 18 acres and features 32-foot clear heights, 15 dock-high doors, and modern warehouse functionality. Positioned within a thriving industrial hub alongside major users including Amazon, FedEx, and ULTA Beauty, the asset is leased to Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana, a leading regional affiliate of Goodwill Industries. Seeking to capitalize on strong investor demand for institutional-quality industrial assets, the seller engaged Matthews™ to market the property. Matthews™ leveraged Artemis, the firm’s proprietary AI-powered CRM platform, to identify and source a targeted pool of qualified buyers actively pursuing institutional industrial investments. The technology-driven process generated competitive interest and enabled Matthews™ to secure a buyer completing a 1031 exchange, who recognized the long-term value of a modern industrial facility leased to a nationally recognized nonprofit tenant in one of the Midwest’s premier logistics markets. “Artemis gives us the ability to identify highly qualified buyers with a level of precision that traditional marketing simply can’t match,” said Harrold. “That advantage allowed us to connect this exceptional asset with the right investor and deliver a transaction that satisfied both the seller’s objectives and the buyer’s 1031 exchange acquisition strategy.” For more information, please contact Alexander Harrold and Brett Davis or visit www.matthews.com.
