SRS Completes $54 Million Sale of Newly Built Grocery Anchored Shopping Center in Ontario, CA

SRS Real Estate Partners’ Investment Properties Group (IPG) announced today it has completed the $54 million sale of New Haven Marketplace, a 95,000-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center located at 3420 E. Ontario Ranch Road in Ontario, CA (San Bernardino County).
Senior Vice President Pat Kent and Senior Associate Parker Walter with SRS represented the seller, a California-based developer. The buyer, a California-based family office was represented by Glenn Rudy of Newmark.
Built in 2020, New Haven Marketplace is situated on 10.6 acres and is fully occupied by Stater Bros., Starbucks, Chase Bank, Carl’s Jr., Great Clips, Rodeo X Public Market and Brew Haven.
“SRS secured several offers on the asset and selected a qualified buyer who assumed the property’s existing loan,” said Kent. “This recently developed grocery-anchored shopping center is well-situated within a highly desirable area that is rare to find in today’s market.”
This property had been marketed by another brokerage firm but was unable to transact. SRS’ unique marketing approach enabled the firm to reach a much broader market which developed multiple offers and a successful sale at a competitive price. SRS’ specialization in retail properties with nationwide resources provides a significant advantage in structuring complex transactions.
This sale represents the lowest cap rate for a grocery-anchored shopping center in California over $50 million over the last 12 months, per CoStar.
Walter added, “This property includes Rodeo X, a market hall. Market halls are extremely popular and add tremendous value and tenant synergy to retail projects and shopping centers. Market halls such as Rodeo X provide consumers an environment with several food options, a place where you would like to spend time and elevates the overall experience for consumers in the community.”
The property is located at the signalized intersection of Ontario Ranch Road and Haven Avenue and is just two miles west Interstate 15. It is also near a number of other major retailers including The Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Costco, and T.J. Maxx, among others. There are more than 220,000 residents and more than 89,000 employees within a five-mile radius of the property.
In 2022, SRS’ Investment Properties Group (IPG) and National Net Lease Group (NNLG) completed more than $2.9 billion in deal volume comprised of 760 transactions in 48 states. SRS currently has in excess of 445 properties actively on the market with a market value surpassing $2.2 billion.

Progressive Real Estate Partners Arranges $6.5M Sale of Land for New Home Development in Upland, CA

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION ALERT
Progressive Real Estate Partners, the leading SoCal Inland Empire retail real estate brokerage firm, announced the sale of 4.84 acres of land at 1400 E. Arrow Highway in Upland, CA for $6.5M in an all-cash transaction.
The Landmark Company, which is a SoCal based real estate investment and development company, purchased the land and has partnered with Century Communities to build the Rose Glen residential development.
The neighborhood will feature 64 two-story single family detached homes with two-car attached garages for an overall density of 13.2 dwelling units per acre. The homes are approximately 1,540 square-feet and will feature a Spanish Colonial and Santa Barbara architectural style. Additional neighborhood features will include open space to accommodate play areas, picnic tables, fitness stations and barbeque areas. Grading is projected to start in July with the first Rose Glen homes being available in the 2nd quarter of 2024.
Progressive Real Estate Partners’ Senior VP Paul Galmarini and Investment Land & Sales specialist Chris Lindholm represented both the Inland Empire based private-party seller and The Landmark Company in the transaction.
Century Communities, Inc. is a publicly traded (NYSE: CCS) top 10 national homebuilder, offering new homes under the Century Communities and Century Complete brands. The Colorado-based company operates in 18 states and over 45 markets including several developments in Southern California’s Inland Empire.
According to Galmarini, “Although the land was zoned light industrial the City of Upland had identified the area as being well suited for residential based on the adjacent uses and proximity to schools and other amenities. With the current housing shortage and California mandates to build more homes, cities across the Inland Empire are being very pro-active to identify new residential opportunities. The rezoning and entitlement process took approximately two years and during that time we worked closely with Landmark to obtain the necessary approvals.”
Lindholm added, “Rose Glen will be an excellent addition to the Upland community and offer prospective homebuyers a great opportunity to acquire a new home with modern interior features and convenient amenities. The property is also just a short distance from Downtown Upland which is undergoing a revitalization and features a variety of shops and restaurants with several new eateries opening this year. Additionally, the Downtown Upland Metrolink train station provides residents easy travel options between San Bernardino and Los Angeles.”

Multiple Bids Validates Continued Investor Demand for High-Performing, Grocery-Anchored Retail

Jimmy Slusher, Philip Voorhees, and James Tyrrell of CBRE’s National Retail Partners – West (NRP-West) represented the seller, funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC, in the transaction.

The property is 96% leased, with a merchandising mix of 19 local, national, and regional retailers, including Barons Market, CVS Pharmacy (NAP), Starbucks, Wells Fargo, Palomar Health, Subway, Crumbl Cookies, UPS Store, and Pacific Dental.
“Meadows Village Center’s traditional grocery and pharmacy offering, suburban neighborhood location, recent renovations including upgraded signage, landscaping, common areas, and more, proved to support increasing tenant performance at the property,” noted Slusher.
“CBRE generated significant offer activity from private 1031 exchange buyers and professional investors, largely fueled by the established Temecula location, Barons Market’s recent lease renewal and the seller’s investment in the property,” continues Slusher. “This sale validates that investor demand for high-performing, grocery-anchored retail continues to drive competitive bid scenarios.”
Originally developed in 2006, Meadows Village Center serves residents of Temecula’s most affluent communities, along with visitors to the region en route to wine country properties accessible along Rancho California Road (22,550 CPD), connecting Meadows Village and Interestate-15 to the west.
