Newmark Knight Frank Announces the $20 Million Acquisition of Center Tower Riverside, a Class A Office Building in Downtown Riverside, CA
Riverside, CA – Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) has announced it has completed the $20 million acquisition of Center Tower Riverside, a five-story, 73,645-square-foot Class A office building located in downtown Riverside, CA.
NKF Senior Managing Directors John Ewart and John Daciolas represented the buyers, De Anza Land and Leisure Corp from Montclair, CA. The seller Irvine-based CIP Real Estate was represented by CBRE’s Mike Longo, Todd Tydlaska, Sean Sullivan, Barbara Perrier and Darla Longo.
“Downtown Riverside has historically been home to a significant amount of government offices which has resulted in a high office occupancy rate here even in a down economic cycle,” said Ewart. “My client was attracted to the stability of this area and plans a long-term hold on this quality asset.”
Located at 3880 Lemon Street in 1.14 acres, the property was built in 1987. In 2017, a major renovation was completed valued at a more than $3 million which included common area improvements and upgrades to the lobby, elevators, corridors, restroom and landscaping. At the time of sale, Center Tower was 94 percent occupied by 11 tenants including Best Best & Krieger, County of Riverside, Index Fresh, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Reid & Hellyer. The property also features 248 parking stalls in an adjacent four-level parking structure.
