Hanley of Hanley Brown Group represented the seller in the sale of a single-tenant Walgreens, an approximate 10,000-square-foot building in Murrieta, Calif. for $6,785,000. The cap rate was 5.75%.

The new single-tenant Walgreens, which is currently under construction, is located at the signalized intersection of California Oaks Road and Jackson Avenue in the City of Murrieta.

The buyer, Pei Chung Chao from Los Angeles County, was represented by Drew Wetherholt of Marcus Millichap in Ontario, Calif. The seller was Murrieta Cal-Oaks, LLC based in Los Angeles County.
