Buzz on the Street Whether a large portfolio or individual property sale, industrial buildings in Southern California continue to trade at high price levels. Furthermore, opportunistic owners or sellers continue to push values for properties they will sell if they can “get their number.” But the buzz on the street from Buyers (and Tenants) resembles a more cautious optimism.

Destino of the Destino Industrial Team within Lee & Associates is pleased to announce the sale of the 24,000 sf Industrial building located at 16450 Phoebe Avenue, La Mirada CA for $4,800,000 ($200 psf).
