The property, known as River’s Crossing, is located at 72014-72060 Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Built in 1991, River’s Crossing is situated on 2.88 acres and was 89% occupied at the time of sale. Tenants include Ferguson, Goodwill Industries and California Patio.

The buyer, a private venture based in Canada, was represented by Michael Dyer of Cushman & Wakefield and Dick Bridy of DBI Group, both of San Diego, Calif. The seller, Highpoint Capital, LLC based in Santa Monica, Calif., was represented by William B. Asher and Edward B. Hanley of Hanley Investment Group. The buyer paid all cash.

“This was one of a very few multi-tenant retail properties that traded hands in the Coachella Valley in the past year that was a stable and well-occupied investment,” said William B. Asher, managing director at Hanley Investment Group. “The buyer acquired an extremely well-located property with a prestigious Rancho Mirage address. River’s Crossing is ideally situated on Highway 111 at the epicenter of the Coachella Valley, just blocks from The River, one of the most well-travelled retail destinations in the desert area.”

“The investment featured an attractive tenant mix,” added Asher. “Ferguson Enterprises is the #1 heating and plumbing distributor in the world with over $8.1 billion in sales and 1,350 locations in North America; Goodwill (of Southern California), the fourth largest Goodwill in the world, featured a brand new 10-year lease; and California Patio one of the largest outdoor furnishings retailers in Southern California.”
