Newmark[1] announces it has completed the sale of 300 Toland Street, a 1.76-acre site in San Francisco, California inclusive of a 22,674-square-foot industrial building. The property is ideally situated in the core industrial market of San Francisco’s Bayview submarket. Located between Highways 280 and 101, the property presents immediate access to major Bay Area cities, airports and high consumer demand areas.
Newmark Senior Managing Director Seth McKinnon, Executive Managing Director Mark Geisreiter, Associate Director Nadav Kariv and Executive Vice Chairman and President, Western Region Capital Markets Steven Golubchik facilitated the transaction. The seller was a private family investor, and the buyer was LBA Realty.
“Investor demand for 300 Toland was extraordinarily robust and resulted in a market setting price for value-add industrial within San Francisco,” said McKinnon. “This sale reflects a significant change in demand from traditional users to a new breed of industrial-focused tech users and the growing need for last-mile distribution.”
The Bayview submarket is robust and is experiencing surging tenant demand in recent months. Historically occupied by traditional industrial users, the Bayview is now attracting technology companies requiring R&D, storage, distribution or manufacturing space close to their existing headquarters in the Bay Area. Strong demand from both traditional users and technology companies has reduced the vacancy rate to 4.4%, and rents have increased by 6.4% over the last 12 months, according to Newmark Research.
