Hanley Investment Group and Progressive Real Estate Partners have arranged the sale of a newly constructed, single-tenant property occupied by Chase Bank with a drive-thru ATM in Bakersfield, California.
The purchase price was US $2.93 million for the absolute triple-net ground lease.
Hanley Investment Group Executive Vice Presidents Bill Asher and Jeff Lefko represented the seller, a private investor based in Bakersfield. The buyer, a private investor based in San Bernardino County, California, was represented by Greg Bedell and Lance Mordachini of Progressive Real Estate Partners in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
“We procured a repeat single-tenant bank investor through a longstanding broker relationship. This resulted in a smooth and timely transaction that benefitted both the buyer and seller”, says Asher, emphasizing how as a relocation the particular Chase Bank branch offered a very strong deposit base within the trade area.
Constructed in 2022, the 3,576-square-foot bank building is located at the signalized intersection of Oswell Street and Mall View Road at 2631 Oswell Street. Chase Bank sits on a 0.85-pad in front of an In-Shape and PetSmart-anchored shopping center. Additional tenants at the shopping center include Banfield Pet Hospital, Domino’s Pizza, Goodwill, and U.S. Bank.
The property benefits from its high-traffic location and visibility on Oswell Street (34,000 cars per day), its adjacency to Highway 178 (40,250 cars per day) on/off ramps, and within one of the major retail corridors in Bakersfield, according to Asher. Neighboring tenants include Walmart Supercenter, Target, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Albertsons, and Smart & Final Extra! The property is near Bakersfield Community College (33,000 students) and Kern Medical (222 beds).
