The retail buildings are located in Salem, Milwaukie, Oak Grove, Tualatin and Gresham, and are being leased by G.I. Joe's Inc. The office complex/warehouse/distribution center is located in Wilsonville, Oregon, and is also leased by G.I. Joe's. The sale closed on Oct. 10, according to the filing, but sates back to July, when Portland-based Wilshire first entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the properties.

On or about July 28, J.D. Watumull entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Wilshire for the retail properties in Salem and Milwaukie. Shortly after that, Madrona Park entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the retail properties in Gresham and Tualatin, Oregon and the industrial property in Wilsonville.

The properties, however, are subject to mortgage loan encumbrances and other security interests which belong to Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, and the mortgage lender refused to allow Seller to sell the property to two purchasers, insisting that the existing mortgage loan be assumed by one entity, according to the filing. In order to satisfy the requirement, Madrona Park, Madrona Park II and Watumull agreed to cooperate with one another, acquiring the G. I. Joe's Properties in a two-step transaction that will result in Madrona Park II and Watumull each owning a 50% interest in the G. I. Joe's Properties.
