PNK LLC, whose principals are part of Pearson Dental Supply, a family-owned supplier of dental supplies and equipment, acquired the building in Huntwood Business Park for $4.35 million. Currently located at 1550 Whipple Road, Union City, in a building owned by Tullock Construction, Pearson Dental Supply will use a portion of the building at 31164-72 Huntwood Ave. as its regional office.
"The user sale market remains very strong," says the broker in the deal, Greig Lagomarsino, a senior vice president at Colliers International in Oakland.

"The number and velocity of industrial transactions has increased significantly in the first quarter and we expect the positive momentum in the market to continue as the economy recovers," says Lagomarsino, who represented EOP and, with John Lewerenz of Cushman & Wakefield, also represented GES.
