LOS ANGELES-Local brokers say the same J.P. Morgan Chase-advised investment group, which already owns the 660,000-sf Water Garden development in Santa Monica, is negotiating to buy the adjacent 600,000-sf Water Garden II complex for more than $240 million.
Water Garden II, on Colorado Avenue and Cloverfield Boulevard, is owned by a group that includes LA-based developer J.H. Snyder Co. and an investment fund managed by Colony Capital. The building’s most serious suitor is said to be the same J.P. Morgan Chase-advised investment group that purchased the original Water Garden from J.H. Snyder several years ago.
