Kennedy Wilson 6400 Canoga Warner Atrium

As GlobeSt.com first reported, back in June, the firm purchased the portfolio, totaling 700,000 square feet, with a 37% stake in the properties with the remaining equity owned by Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, Fairfax Financial and the LeFrak Organization. The acquisition was a direct, off-market deal.

The Beverly Hills-based company, which says this increases its assets under management to $9.8 billion, declined to name the seller, but an unidentified source tells GlobeSt.com that the seller of the portfolio was Jamison Services Inc., a private company based in Los Angeles.

The buildings are located in various submarkets of Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Miracle Mile and Encino. This particular property is located in Woodland Hills’ master-planned community of Warner Center, which is emerging as the city center of the San Fernando and Conejo Valleys. According to Jamison Services’ website, rent at the Warner Atrium property is approximately $1.85 per square foot.

Mary Ricks, executive vice chair of Kennedy Wilson, recently said that “These assets are premier properties in highly desirable locations. This is the company’s first significant office acquisition in this cycle, and we were able to source this transaction off-market through an existing long-term relationship.”

The estimated value of the assets under the company’s management is currently more than $12 billion.
