The LA Deal Sheet
A joint venture of IRA Capital and an undisclosed capital partner from the Middle East have shelled out $73.5M on a 160K SF office campus in Aliso Viejo.
The JV led by the Orange County-based private equity firm acquired the Element from a JV of CrossHarbor Capital and Waterford Property Co.
Medical technology and pharma company Glaukos Corp. currently occupies the site. Glaukos signed a 13-year lease last year to occupy the campus and purchased excess land for future development and expansion.
Newmark Knight Frank's Kevin Shannon, Paul Jones, Ken White and Brandon White represented the seller.
“The buyer was attracted to Glaukos’ long-term stability, credit and commitment to the campus," Jones said in a news release. "This transaction marks the only office transaction of this size to close in Orange County since the COVID-19 pandemic.”
