Walter and Donald MacLellan, a Faris Lee managing director, represented the seller, with Faris Lee director Patrick Kent representing the buyer. The portion of the center that sold is at 17877–18271 Gale Ave. and sits on a parcel of 13.65 acres.

Walter notes that the property generated multiple offers and closed at a 6.3% cap rate with the space 94% occupied by national credit tenants such as Office Depot, Smart & Final, Sam Ash, Shoe City and others at the close of escrow. The Faris Lee president calls the deal "a prime example of how a breakup strategy can be profitable even after a re-sale."

Walter explains that in late 2005 SCI Real Estate Investments bought a three-parcel property at the Plaza at Puente Hills from a joint venture of New York-based Coventry Real Estate Advisors, Ohio-based Developers Diversified Realty and New Jersey-based Prudential Real Estate Investors. The portion that SCI bought was in turn a part of a masterplanned eight-parcel breakup strategy crafted by Faris Lee at the time.
