The Californer/10334549

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Mesa West Capital has provided a joint venture between Palisade Group and Pearlmark with $30 million in first mortgage debt for the acquisition, renovation and lease up of 7411 Central Avenue, a 143,000-square-foot industrial building in Newark, CA, an industrial submarket in San Francisco's East Bay.

Built in 1998, the fully vacant property sits on 7.95 acres on the corner of Central Avenue and Filbert Street, in the heart of the I-880 Corridor in the Fremont/Newark submarket, the Bay Area's premier industrial submarket. The building features a 24' clear height, 33 dock-high doors, 12 grade level doors and 310 parking stalls.

Accessibility to three major airports and Northern California's largest port, the Port of Oakland, make the area one of the most sought-after logistical destinations in the Bay Area. Due to its location, distribution and warehouse space is in particularly high demand. The region is also a hub for advanced manufacturing, with AI hardware, electric vehicles and robotics representing roughly 30% of manufacturing tenant requirements in the region. According to JLL, demand from advanced manufacturing in the East Bay has increased 160% since the start of the year, with a majority seeking buildings that can accommodate higher power requirements.
