Advisory Strategy

1. Targeting Local Investor Demand

City Heights attracts:

• Owner-users

• Small business operators

• Local investors seeking stable, under-managed assets

• 1031 exchange buyers looking for yield

Positioning the property as a 6%+ cap investment created strong response from investors priced out of prime corridors like North Park, Normal Heights, and University Heights.

2. Marketing the Strength of the University Avenue Corridor

University Avenue is one of San Diego’s most important commercial arteries.

Key value drivers included:

• High traffic volume

• Strong visibility

• Diverse tenant demand

• Long-term redevelopment upside

• Proximity to new City Heights revitalization projects

These elements significantly supported buyer confidence and validated the pricing strategy.

3. Streamlined Sale Process for the Seller

You provided:

• Value positioning

• Lease review and income verification

• Buyer vetting

• Negotiation and due diligence management

• Clear communication with an out-of-area buyer pool

The result was a smooth closing at a cap rate aligned with market expectations for City Heights commercial assets.
