Concord-based Garaventa Properties, a family-owned venture, sold a Bay Area, multi-market industrial portfolio to a partnership of Birtcher Anderson Realty and Merced Capital for $63.4-million. The acquisition represents Birtcher Anderson’s initial foray into the Northern California market.

The three properties include 18 industrial, flex and office buildings that are 85 percent leased to more than 30 tenants. Properties include:
