Strategic Lease-to-Own Structure for Flexibility and Expansion

Santee, CA —Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the lease of 8711-8721 North Magnolia Avenue, Santee, CA. Matthews™ First Vice President & Senior Director Chris Nelson represented the landlord in the transaction.

The long-term lease-to-own structure provided the tenant with a fixed purchase price while maintaining capital flexibility amid active expansion across four additional sites in Southern California. A strategically advised due diligence period allowed the tenant to obtain a conditional use permit from the city prior to final execution of the transaction.

The 25,101-square-foot property was identified off market and was occupied by month-to-month tenants, allowing the owner to maintain cash flow during the permitting process.

“The site’s immediate proximity to a freeway on/off ramp significantly enhances operational efficiency, supporting 50 to 100 truck trips daily,” Nelson said. “Strong retail visibility, high traffic counts, and multiple access points further solidify the location’s strategic value for loading and dispatch operations.”
