ORANGE COUNTY, Oct. 1, 2024 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today the $27.8 million sale of Park Pacific Shopping Center, a 49,911-square-foot grocery-anchored retail center in Hermosa Beach, California.

The buyer was Chartwell Real Estate Development and the seller was a private investor.

This marks the first sale of the property since its development over 50 years ago. The center is anchored by a Trader Joe's and features a mix of national brands such as Starbucks, Five Below and Sally Beauty, alongside local businesses.

Located at 1100 Pacific Coast Hwy, the center is situated in the prime coastal community of Hermosa Beach with average household incomes exceeding $170,000 per year and average home values over $2 million within a one-mile radius of the property.

“We continue to look for excellent retail investment opportunities in prime coastal infill locations such as this one, and we are excited about the future of Park Pacific,” said Henry Pyle, Chartwell Real Estate Development.

The JLL Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Senior Director Daniel Tyner and Managing Directors Gleb Lvovich and Geoff Tranchina.

"This transaction represented a rare opportunity to acquire a coastal grocery-anchored center in one of Los Angeles' most desirable coastal submarkets," said Tyner.

“The strong fundamentals and performance of retail has proven to be resilient and attractive to a wide variety of investors,” Lvovich added. “We expect demand to continue to accelerate as interest rates moderate and potentially decline further.”
