Newmark Selected to Sell Recently Opened Topgolf Facility in El Segundo, California

June 23, 2022 9:00 AM

Newmark[1] announces the for-sale opportunity of the leasehold interest in a single-tenant Topgolf entertainment venue located in El Segundo, California. Topgolf’s flagship Los Angeles location opened in April 2022 under a brand-new, 20-year lease. The offering includes only the improvements, as the property is situated on land owned by the City of El Segundo. Newmark’s Net Lease Capital Markets group comprising Vice Chairman Matt Berres, Director Samer Khalil and Associate Karick Brown have been retained by landlord CenterCal Properties as exclusive sales agents for the property.

“This property’s brand-new construction, trophy location, premier experiential tenancy and long-term lease structure combine to create a truly unique investment opportunity,” said Berres.

Located at 400 S Pacific Coast Highway, the 67,500-square-foot Topgolf venue is situated on 26.54 acres of land owned by the City of El Segundo. In the works for nearly a decade, the new location—Topgolf’s first in Los Angeles County—also includes a newly renovated, 15.87-acre golf course. Topgolf partnered with renowned golf course designer Mike Angus to refresh and reintroduce the beloved Lakes at El Segundo golf course to the community and will manage/operate the course during its tenancy as part of its agreement with CenterCal Properties and the City of El Segundo.

“The City of El Segundo found a great solution in partnering with CenterCal and Topgolf to renovate the golf course,” added Berres. “This was an ingenious solution to leverage the resources dedicated to a municipal golf course to drive revenue and provide this valuable entertainment venue for the area. This forward-thinking approach could be replicated in other cities.”

The property is a quick 15 minutes from the heart of downtown Los Angeles, highly visible from the Pacific Coast Highway and just 1.5 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which services 88 million passengers annually. The proximity to LAX affords travelers the opportunity to visit Topgolf quickly coming to or from a flight. Additionally, the location offers easy on/off ramp access along W El Segundo Boulevard or Rosecrans Avenue via I-405, providing convenient access to the property.
