HG Capital Announces Joint Venture to Develop For-Sale Industrial Buildings in San Bernardino, CA
HG Capital, LLC has formed a joint venture with Focus Real Estate LP to acquire 4.35 acres in Waterman Place business park, San Bernardino, CA, for development and eventual sale of 76,000 s.f. of industrial space.
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) June 28, 2005 -- HG Capital, LLC (HG) announces a joint venture
investment with Focus Real Estate LP, for the acquisition of 4.35 acres of land
on three parcels within the Waterman Place business park in San Bernardino, CA.
The project will consist of the development and eventual sale to owner-users of
seven individual industrial buildings all ranging in size from 8,500 square feet
to 14,500 square feet for a total project of 76,000 square feet. HG Capital
invested approximately $1.4m of equity in the project and closed on the land
with a construction loan from Alliance Bank.
The substantial growth in
the Inland Empire industrial sector, driven in large part by the increase in
overseas imports, has generated strong demand for owner-user assembly,
manufacturing, and distribution centers in the region. The project's strong
infill location within the established Waterman Place business park, the demand
for owner-user facilities, and Focus Real Estate's development expertise in the
region make this an exciting investment for HG.
Herrick Johnson of Lee
& Associates in Riverside, California (www.lee-associates.com/riverside) is the leasing and sales
broker for the project.
