LUCESCU REALTY Announces Sale of Two Grocery Anchored, Community Shopping Centers in Northern California for $24.6 Million

NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. – Aug 2, 2019 – Mark Lucescu, President of LUCESCU REALTY, a market leading investment real estate services firm, announced today the sale of Currier Square Shopping Center in Oroville (Sacramento MSA), California, and Crossroads Shopping Center in Auburn (Sacramento MSA), California for a total consideration of $24.6 Million ($14.8 Million and $9.8 Million, respectively). LUCESCU REALTY exclusively represented the interests of the seller, Community Centers of America, and procured the Buyers, a Private Development / Investment company based in Sacramento (Currier Square) and a Private Investor based in Los Angeles (Crossroads Shopping Center).

Currier Square, in Oroville, California, is an approximate 131,017 Square Foot seasoned, Grocery-anchored, Open-Air Community Shopping Center anchored by a high-grossing Raley’s Grocery, Marshalls and Petco (all included as part of the sale) and included four (4) out pad parcels ideally positioned for redevelopment / buildout. Raley’s, founded in 1935, operates 129 stores throughout the Sacramento, CA MSA; under the banners Raley’s, Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods and Food Source. The Property is 88.5% leased, and more than 96% of the leased GLA is occupied by Regional and National tenants. Many of the tenants, including Raley’s and Marshalls, were posting strong gross sales.

Crossroads Shopping Center, in Auburn, California, is an approximate 125,791 Square Foot Open-Air, Community Shopping Center anchored by Safeway, Ross Dress for Less, CACFit, AutoZone and Famous Footwear. Ross Dress For Less, an original tenant in the center just recently extended their lease term and posts very strong gross sales. Safeway, which features Western Union, Starbucks and an Amazon Locker (the only one in Auburn), was not a part of the sale. The Property features a seasoned, secure income stream, as 74.6% of the GLA is leased to original tenants from when the Property was built in 1994 and 91.9% of the leased GLA is occupied by National and Regional tenants accounting for 87.5% of the Total Rent. Located within one of the more affluent trade areas within the greater Sacramento area, the Property enjoys great visibility and accessibility in the heart of Auburn’s Retail Hub; additional retailers in immediate proximity include Target, Home Depot, Smart & Final, Rite Aid, Michaels, PetSmart, Petco, BevMo!, Ulta, Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks.

“Both of these Properties are institutional-quality centers and are among the most dominant and successful shopping centers within their respective trade areas. Blue chip tenant rosters, that include grocery anchors, located in infill locations with high barriers of entry are in the highest demand amongst retail centers today,” noted Samer Khalil of Lucescu Realty’s Private Client Services Group, who handled both sales. Greg Wendelken, Managing Director of Lucescu Realty – Private Client Services,  who also assisted on the Oroville transaction commented, “The Seller did a great job of managing and leasing each of these assets and the Buyers should continue that success for many years to come.”
