Retail Project: Oceanview Village, San Francisco, CA | citivestcommercial.com

Oceanview Village

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Broe Real Estate Group (“Broe”), a leading investment manager of commercial real estate assets affiliated with The Broe Group, has acquired Oceanview Village Shopping Center in San Francisco, California, for $30.6 million. Citivest Commercial (“Citivest”), a real estate operating company specializing in value-add retail investments, will serve as the operating partner.

The 98,406 square foot, mixed-use development is located at 3931-3981 Alemany Blvd. It is part of a mixed-use project built in 2002 that includes 370 condominiums above the ground floor retail space. The condominiums were not included in the purchase. Existing tenants include Albertsons, Walgreens, 24-Hour Fitness and Chase Bank. The grocery store and pharmacy spaces have long-term lease commitments, however both tenants are not in operation. Broe and Citivest plan to reposition the property via multiple improvements, including façade upgrades, new landscaping, entrance lighting, parking lot improvements and a new signage program.

“We are very excited about this new partnership with Citivest, and we believe the investment represents an excellent repositioning opportunity in one of the strongest retail markets in the country,” said Doug Wells, CEO of Broe Real Estate Group. “The upgrades we have planned, combined with an outstanding location, make the shopping center extremely well-positioned to leverage its customer base and enhance value.”

“Sourcing a shopping center in the heart of San Francisco, where supply is highly limited, is extremely difficult,” explains Larry Weese, President of Citivest Commercial. “The ability to acquire a retail asset that not only boasts a prime location, but also presents enormous potential for value creation is a testament to the team.”

Broe and Citivest were attracted to the shopping center’s stable cash flow, with existing credit tenants, as well as its excellent demographics as nearly 60,000 people live within one mile of the property, and 360,000 people live within three miles. The property also benefits from its location, adjacent to the 280 Freeway and close proximity to the Daly City BART Station. The venture has hired Crosspoint Realty to be its Property Manager and selected Todd Oliver and Drew Greenspan with Cushman & Wakefield as its leasing representatives.

The ability to acquire a retail asset that not only boasts a prime location, but also presents enormous potential for value creation is a testament to the team.
