SIMI VALLEY, CALIF. — Lee & Associates-LA North/Ventura has arranged the sale of a research and development building located at 685 E. Cochran St. in Simi Valley. Albert Halami, a private investor, acquired the asset from 685 Cochran Holdings LLC for $11 million, or $183 per square foot.
The seller will continue to occupy a portion of the 60,416-square-foot property for its businesses, which include SensoScientific, under a sale-leaseback arrangement. Other tenants at the fully leased building include Hangman Products and Brown & Brown Insurance.
Built in 1986, the two-story property features 22-foot and 24-foot clear heights, two dock-high doors and three grade-level loading doors. The second floor, with about 20,000 square feet of general and engineering offices, was fully renovated in 2015. The buyer plans to continue the renovation efforts, including re-landscaping and improving the parking lot.
