SANTA CLARA, CA-Bixby Land Co., the Irvine, CA-based private REIT has moved another recent acquisition here into its new joint venture with the Los Angeles-based real estate investment group of Investcorp International Ltd., which is traded on the London and Bahrain stock exchanges. The properties are 3111-3141 Coronado Drive, a 118,400-sf two-story office/R&D complex that is 100% leased through mid-2009 by publicly traded Applied Materials Inc.

Bixby acquired the asset in September for $85.4 million and recapitalized it into the JV at the same price.Bixby has acquired $263 million of Silicon Valley properties over the past 15 months. In addition to the two aforementioned assets, it paid $72 million for the 223,866-sf mixed-use University Station development in Santa Clara in Santa Clara last January. Located across from Santa Clara University and adjacent to a Caltrain station, the development is 90% leased.
