CBRE’s retail investment experts Voorhees, Jimmy Slusher, Todd Goodman, Megan Wood, Matt Burson, Brad Rable, and Kirk Brummer, represented the seller, a Los Angeles-based partnership. The buyer, a Chinese-based private investor, which was represented by a cooperating broker, purchased this property as an addition to its portfolio.

Situated on 11.95 acres and 1,000 linear feet along I-215, University Village is located in the heart of Riverside, at the gateway to the California State University at Riverside, which serves as the primary commercial downtown area for the college community.

“This transaction was an excellent result for both seller and buyer,” said Voorhees. “The 897-stall, 6-level parking structure was included in this sale, providing the new ownership with tremendous flexibility in executing future leasing and repositioning strategies at University Village.”

According to Voorhees, the CBRE team’s marketing system distributed more than 627 offering memoranda to investors and brokers, and through the team’s “managed bid” offer process, generated more than a dozen offers to purchase the property.

“The University of California Riverside (UCR) is the ultimate anchor for University Village. In fact, the new purchaser graduated from UCR and possesses a thorough understanding of the asset. We expect great future results at University Village, and the seller group is pleased with pricing that exceeded expectations and is a high water mark for a two-level project of this size and quality in the Inland Empire,” said Voorhees.
