Los Angeles, CA – Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, brokered the sale of Manchester Plaza, a shopping center located at 520-536 East Manchester Avenue, Los Angeles, CA. The sale represents the top-three highest price per square foot sale of a retail strip center in Los Angeles year-to-date, closing at $647 per square foot. Senior Associate Joe Nelson handled the transaction.
Matthews™ represented the seller, a repeat developer client, who was looking to exit the Manchester property and enter into a new project. Nelson navigated a complex escrow process by using connections and industry expertise.
“I worked closely with the seller to understand their priorities, timing goals, and investment strategy to ensure we accomplished all goals and closed for a great price,” Nelson said. “Although there were obstacles, I was able to negotiate terms and execute viable solutions to get this deal across the finish line.”
The buyer, a local investor, bought the property to complete a 1031 Exchange. The retail center is the up-leg investment in the exchange. The buyer received an asset that fit their timing requirements and business strategy.
“Matthews’ technology and market reach allowed me to source a credible buyer and ultimately close at a record price for the area, exceeding our client’s expectations,” Nelson said.
