CapRock Partners Sells Value-Add, Class A Industrial Asset in San Diego

CapRock Partners

CapRock Partners, a Western U.S.-focused industrial real estate investment and development firm with a robust portfolio of more than 21 million square feet, today announced the sale of its Old Grove asset, an 85,824-square-foot freestanding industrial property in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego. Situated on a 5.4-acre site, CapRock sold the institutional-quality, Class A facility to a high-net-worth individual for an undisclosed amount. The property is currently fully leased by Manscaped, which creates products for men’s grooming needs. “Back in 2017, our team saw the diamond in the rough in this Old Grove asset, which sits in a submarket that boasts vacancy rates as low as 4.1%, a number that has held relatively steady through the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Nicholas Ilagan, senior vice president, asset management at CapRock Partners. “Old Grove is a shining example of how a well-executed, value-add business plan can deliver a much-needed institutional-quality industrial product to an infill market where demand is outpacing supply. We feel extremely privileged to support the region’s needs during a time when a pandemic-fueled e-commerce surge is creating nearly unprecedented demand and reshaping industrial real estate for decades to come.” Located at 10054 Old Grove Road, CapRock Partners acquired the asset in January 2018 as a strategic addition to its value-add portfolio. The asset is within minutes of the I-15 and the I-5, two key logistics corridors through Southern California, and in close proximity to the Sorrento Valley Coaster Station, Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport and San Diego International Airport. At the time of acquisition, the 35-year-old property had significant functional challenges. Leveraging its expertise in value-add investments, CapRock implemented a top-to-bottom renovation plan to bring the property to Class A status.
