Messenger Service Seals 45,000-SF Purchase

FULLERTON, CA-Pacific Messenger Service, a San Diego-based parcel delivery service, has purchased a newly built, 45,000-sf industrial building for $3.3 million from Dynamic Builders/Providence LLC of Irvine, according to Grubb & Ellis Co.

Steve Sprenger of the Grubb & Ellis Anaheim office tells GlobeSt.com that Pacific Messenger has already occupied the facility, which is at 1830 Raymer Ave. in the Fullerton Business Park. Sprenger was part of a three-broker team including Steve Bryant of Grubb & Ellis in Anaheim and Steve Crane of Ashwill Associates in the city of Orange that represented the buyer. The seller was represented by Rick McGeagh of the CB Richard Ellis Inc. office in Torrance and Ben Seybold of CBRE’s Aneheim office.

Sprenger tells GlobeSt.com that Pacific Messenger is using the 45,000 sf for warehousing and distribution in a relocation from approximately 8,000 sf in Anaheim, where it had been for about 25 years. He explains that the firm’s large jump in square footage was a result both of its growth and an expansion of its capabilities. The company formerly operated only as a delivery service, he says, but now it includes warehouse operations as part of its services.
