“This property is located in a burgeoning employment hub with increasing demand for manufacturing space,” explained Shopoff President and CEO William Shopoff. “We plan to work closely with the city to annex the property into the City of Mesa, and subsequently entitle the property for manufacturing use, in order to meet market demands.”

A former dairy farm, potential plans for the property may include 12 to 15 buildings, with up to 4.1 million leasable square feet and an average building size of 500,000 square feet.

Mavik Capital Management, an opportunistic investment firm, provided an $81 million participating first mortgage in connection with the acquisition. Shopoff added, “We are pleased to close another transaction with Mavik. They are a trusted, agile partner that we can depend on to think differently and create value in tight timeframes, and we look forward to working with their dedicated team again in the future.”
Dylan Sproul and Paul Borgesen of SVN | Desert Commercial Advisors negotiated the transaction on behalf of Shopoff. Dylan Sproul stated, “The complexity of this deal is a true testament to Shopoff’s innovative and nimble approach.
