SAN FRANCISCO, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Soma Capital Partners (“SCP”), a privately held real estate investment and advisory firm based in San Francisco, today announced the sale of 2277 Pine View Way in Petaluma, CA, for $25.15 million to an affiliate of DRA Advisors. SCP acquired the Property in partnership with New York City-based Drake Real Estate Partners (“Drake”) in April 2019. This marks SCP’s second industrial sale in the past 12 months totaling 320,000 square feet.
The 120,000 square foot Class A industrial building is the corporate headquarters of Workrite Ergonomics, an industry leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of ergonomic workstations and office accessories. Founded in 1991 in Novato, Workrite has occupied space in the building since 2011 and expanded its occupancy to take over the entire premises in 2018.
Peter Horn, Partner with SCP, commented, “We acquired the property with a long-term business plan, but the heightened demand for industrial product over the last twelve months caused us to shift gears and evaluate purchase offers.”
Jonathan Garonce, Partner with Drake, added, “Strong macro fundamentals combined with a severely supply constrained market resulted in an excellent outcome for all parties involved.”
Steve Hermann from Cushman & Wakefield’s Northern California Capital Markets Team advised the seller on the transaction.
