In Lake Forest, InSight Health Corp., one of the largest integrated providers of diagnostic imaging services in the nation, signed a 43,000-sf lease renewal at 26250 Enterprise Way. The two-story, class-A office building will serve as the company's headquarters. The deal was brokered by Jason Hoffman of Mohr Partners.

In Seal Beach, Merrill Lynch signed a lease renewal for an 8,300-sf office building at 3010 Old Ranch Parkway at the Bixby Office Park, the only class A office building in Seal Beach. The deal was brokered by Myron Galchutt of Newmark Knight Frank.

In Long Beach, Consolidated Electrical Distributors Inc., a provider of electrical products, has signed a lease renewal for a free-standing, one-story, 20,000-sf industrial building at 3330 E. 29th St. The deal was brokered by Bixby Land Co.

Terms of the leases were not disclosed. Asking rates are $2.75 to $2.85 per sf per month at the Seal Beach office building, but rates for the other buildings were not available. Recent market reports list the average asking lease rates at $2.80 per sf per month for class A office space in South Orange County, which includes Lake Forest. Reports show the average asking rate for industrial space in the South Bay submarket, which includes Long Beach, at about 68 cents per sf per month.
