$14M Pre-Emptive Offer Takes 39,144-SF Center

MESA, AZ-The 39,144-sf Village at Las Sendas has ended up in an exchange before it could hit the market. A Scottsdale, AZ buyer has paid $13.9 million for the 92%-leased shopping center.

“This never really hit the market. I listed it and a few days later, saw the buyer in a restaurant, we talked and made the deal,” says Ken Elmer, principal with EBS & Associates in Scottsdale. Elmer, who represented Las Sendas Villages LLC in Chandler, AZ, says the buyer, Emerging Commercial Exchange II, won’t need to make any upgrades to the asset at 2855 N. Power Rd.

“This is a high-end retail center with a pretty solid lease roll,” Elmer tells GlobeSt.com. “There isn’t a lot of turnover coming any time soon.” Tenants are mainly local and regional restaurants and retailers, including Cosmo Salon & Day Spa, Bella Blue Boutique, Coco Milano’s and Elaine Todd’s Distinctive Gifts. Restaurants include Egg and I, Indigo Joe’s Sports Pub and Restaurant and Pacific Bay Co. The quoted rent is $32 per sf, triple net.
