SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2024 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $9 million sale of Twin Canyon Shopping Center, a 23,149-square-foot retail strip center located in San Ramon, California.

JLL represented the seller, a private entity. The buyer was TownCentre Capital.

Strategically positioned at 2450-2550 San Ramon Valley Blvd., Twin Canyon benefits from its prime location at the intersection of San Ramon Valley Blvd. and Norris Canyon Rd. The center is situated in the heart of San Ramon's retail corridor, with excellent visibility and access from I-680.

San Ramon, nestled in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, boasts robust economic fundamentals and an affluent customer base. The city's prosperity is evident in its impressive average household income of $231,451 within a three-mile radius of the property. This thriving area has experienced significant growth, attracting major employers such as Chevron, GE Digital and SAP, further solidifying its position as a desirable location for businesses and residents alike.

Built in 1980, Twin Canyon Shopping Center is a thriving retail destination on a 2.36-acre site. The property is 100% leased, featuring a diverse tenant mix including Round Table Pizza, Beer Area Liquors and Bricks & Minifigs. The center benefits from a stable tenant base with an average occupancy of over 11 years.

JLL Capital Market’s Investment and Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Eric Kathrein and Director Warren McClean.

"Twin Canyon Shopping Center represented an excellent opportunity to acquire a fully leased, high-quality retail asset in one of the Bay Area's most desirable suburban markets," said McClean. "The property's strong location and diverse tenant mix made it an attractive long-term investment with value-add potential. We're pleased to have successfully arranged the sale of this asset."

“Our team could not be more excited to be expanding our presence within the San Ramon retail market,” announced Don Tepman, Principal and Founder, from TownCentre Capital. “This is another perfect example of the service-oriented retail properties we focus on, and is home to several local tenants that have been community favorites for years.”
