Arrow Grand Single Tenant Industrial

753 Arrow Grand Cir
Covina, CA

Opportunity Summary

Situated in the San Gabriel Valley, nestled between East Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, Arrow Grand boasts a sizable, well-structured building that is roughly 72,000 square feet on a 3.3-acre site. While its pricing ($236/ft) parallels rates often seen in the Phoenix market, it’s essential to recognize its prime location within the sought-after Southern California region. In addition, our going-in land price is $119/ft, which is comparable to other sites in the market today that are undeveloped. This meets our criteria of being below replacement cost in multiple ways.

The property’s current in-place rent, at $.90 per square foot per month, is approximately 44% below current market rents. The dramatic mark-to-market opportunity positions us well to create value as we bring the in-place rent to market ($1.60/ft) in June of 2024 when the current lease expires. We have estimated just over $1 million for future improvements, including selective interior modifications, a new roof,  fresh paint, and essential exterior refurbishments. Once the improvements are completed, we anticipate the property’s annual yield to rise to roughly $1,400,000, which translates to a 7.7% cap rate. Arrow Grand’s strategic location, flanked by two pivotal state highways, combined with an impressively low market vacancy rate of 1.5%, underscores the minimal risks associated with this opportunity. In essence, with its below replacement pricing and clear path to adding value in a flourishing submarket, Arrow Grand is a compelling investment opportunity.

Lastly, we are excited to announce our partnership with an institutional equity partner, AIG / Corebridge Financial, one of the world’s largest insurance companies. They will be contributing roughly $8M of the required equity for this venture. The remaining equity will be contributed by ourselves and our network of friends and family, including you. With a projected internal rate of return of 16.58%, this investment presents both promising returns and a trusted partnership framework, in addition to the best deal we’ve seen in over 12 months.

Despite challenging economic times over the last 18 months, we refused to sacrifice our underwriting guidelines and investment thesis and are now excited to present the first deal that has met those underwriting guidelines and investment thesis.

Business Plan

Arrow Grand Single Tenant Industrial

753 Arrow Grand Cir, Covina, CA

Arrow Grand represents an ideal mark to market opportunity. We are purchasing the property at $236/SF  which is a basis that we typically see in the Phoenix market, but for a functional building in a stronger Southern California market. Other properties in the San Gabriel Valley submarket are trading in excess of $350/SF which represents an incredible spread for our deal.

In place income through June 2024 at $.90/SF/month represents a 44% below market rate, providing enough income to remain cash flow positive as we work to turn the lease over and lease up at new market rates. We have set aside a conservative budget of just over $1,000,00 or $15/SF for planned improvements which include demolition of drop ceilings and non-load bearing walls on approximately 20k SF of space bringing it back to traditional warehouse space, exterior/interior paint, roof repairs and sealing/slurry coating the exterior asphalt. These capital improvements will allow us to quickly bring the space up to market leasing expectations and make sure we are maximizing the value of the space in short time. We expect to see income on the property increase to just under $1,400,000/year with the new lease rate of $1.60/SF/month NNN, pushing our stabilized cap rate over 7.4%.

Strategically located in the San Gabriel Valley between two major statewide freeways, and with market vacancy rates at near 1.5% levels the deal represents minimal lease up risk and will allow us to reposition the property as a stabilized asset.

Overall the great basis of the property combined with a short below market lease in a great submarket position Arrow Grand as a great investment with significant upside.
