According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the sales price was $140 million. The seller was not disclosed.

Waterton had previously disposed of all its Las Vegas holdings in June 2017, but has re-entered the market due to exceptionally strong job growth and affordability relative to other western cities, according to company officials. “These well-located, commuter-friendly assets offer easy access to a range of high-quality schools, businesses and lifestyle amenities,” says Peter Kuzma, vice president of acquisitions at Waterton. “As the costs of homeownership continue to rise and the pool of renters increases, the value proposition for multifamily housing in this area has become particularly attractive.” Chicago-based Waterton’s initial investment plans include interior renovations and improvements to residences, as well as …

The Los Angeles County industrial market continues to see record low vacancy rates, which are hovering in the 1 percent range with a conservative forecast calling for rents to increase by 7.5 percent in 2019. Ecommerce companies and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) — many of which support ecommerce operations — will continue to be dominant market players, according to NKF’s Los Angeles industrial market report for Q1 2019. In North Los Angeles, we are seeing multiple submarkets, including those in the San Fernando Valley, Ventura County, Conejo Valley, Kern County, and the Santa Clarita areas, becoming more connected than ever before. These areas and projects are now “connecting the dots” between all the submarkets as the opportunities for industrial space in Los Angeles’ core markets become increasingly more competitive and scarce. For example, occupiers that have been in the 130 million-square-foot San Fernando Valley industrial market for decades are now needing more space. However, the opportunities for larger, modern product are just not there. The majority of industrial product is less than 100,000 square feet with 16- to 24-foot clear heights. This can work for users like cosmetics, entertainment and aerospace, but others need more modern features to streamline operations. …
