Intersection Completes 1031 Exchange to Reduce Clients Stress and Increase Cash Flow

Intersection commercial real estate represented Elizabeth H. Riggs Trust in the 1031 exchange which resulted in the purchase of Barons Market for $4,650,000 at the Menifee Lakes Plaza in Menifee, Calif. Intersection Senior Director, Kyle Clark, represented the buyer, CBRE’s Newport Beach office represented the seller Menifee Lakes Plaza, LLC.

The 17,854 square-foot retail space is located at 29787 Antelope Road, Menifee, CA 92584. The building is one of 13 that comprise the new, 138,000 square-foot Menifee Lakes Plaza, located at the intersection of Newport Road and Interstate 215.

The property served to complete the 1031 exchange for the buyer, who was selling their apartment building for a less management-intensive asset to provide stable cash flow and preserve her monthly income in the years to follow. 

Clark was approached by the buyer’s son to identify a single-tenant property under a long term NNN lease while avoiding high risk tenant types such as restaurant chains or traditional retailers. After searching nationwide for suitable properties, tying up two other prospects that failed during the due diligence review, Clark identified the Barons Market property.

“It was close to home, yet provided an attractive cap rate and return similar to other out of state alternatives,” said Clark. “Since closing on the low maintenance property, our client is thrilled with her increased cash flow without all the management headaches.”
