Capital Rivers Commercial, in conjunction with Hanley Investment Group represented the Seller of this 115,396 square foot Save Mart grocery store anchored shopping center located in the Central Valley town of Ceres, California. Our team was able to achieve a record price because we evaluated and underwrote the property as a possible “break-up” strategy since the property was comprised of multiple separate legal parcels. For the active investor / developer that is looking to create value they could restructure the underlying controlling documents such as the CC&R’s or REA and sell or refinance each individual component of the shopping center to extract additional value.
