“The city would like residents to stay and eat and shop in Moorpark, rather than take their money out of town,” Bram White, an EVP at DAUM Commercial Real Estate Services, tells GlobeSt.com.

Carrara Bakery signed a 5,000-square-foot lease in a space that was formerly occupied by a Fresh & Easy market. Originally the landlord, Milan Capital Management, wanted another grocer for the space. As we were targeting the typical grocers, we were approached by Bram [White] and saw an opportunity to bring a new dynamic to the shopping center,” Lisa Engel-Shields of Radius Group/Hagelis Retail Advisors, who represented the landlord in the deal, tells GlobeSt.com. “With the new retail climate, we though that Carrara would offer a lot to the owner, in regards to having a unique tenant, but also to the community.”
