Cress Capital Snags $90M Portfolio in Cerritos

Newport Beach, CA-based Cress Capital acquired five Class A office buildings totaling 461,920 square feet in Cerritos, CA for $89.5 million. Built between 1989 and 1998, the portfolio includes two seven-story buildings and three two-story buildings, which are 88% occupied by 45 tenants.

“The acquisition of these Class A buildings aligns with one of our core investment strategies,” said Cress’ Tom Parnell. “We believe highly-amenitized and well-located suburban office assets will produce superior returns over the long term.”

Eastdil Secured’s Adam Edwards and K.C. Scheipe represented the seller, reportedly Iowa-based Principal Real Estate Investors. The buyer was self-represented.

The properties are part of the 125-acre Cerritos Towne Center mixed-use development and include:

12610 Park Plaza Dr., two stories, 52,000 square feet
12750 Center Court Dr., seven stories, 140,000 square feet
