PASADENA, CA-A California couple has taken ownership of a 7,035-sf freestanding office building and will begin renovations soon to turn the Pasadena property into a performing arts center for children. Sarah and Brett Kohler put up $1.1 million to win title to the 169 N. Halsted St property, beating out several other prospective buyers with an offer just $150,000 short of seller, Roberta Robinson of Northridge, CA, $1.3 million asking price.

Adam Comora with Delphi Business Properties in Van Nuys tells GlobeSt.com that the property, on the market just three months, was a rare find. “There’s not a lot for sale on the market right now and this was a one-of-a-kind property,” says Comora. “A freestanding, one-story office property in that market is very difficult to find.”
