Walnut Newport Center, a 9,597-square-foot retail strip mall in Tustin, was recently purchased by Lee Family Trust for nearly $3 million.

The four-tenant center at 13842 Newport Ave. was fully occupied at the time of the sale, and it is anchored by Blockbuster Video. And this was a cause of concern during the deal, according to Hanley Investment Group President Edward Hanley, who, along with Eric Wohl, represented the seller, Westwood Financial.

“It was a challenging transaction due to the uncertainty of Blockbuster Video as a tenant in today’s market and the fact that they occupied approximately 65 percent of the property’s square footage,” he says.

But he says the location played a key factor in the deal. What's more, it garnered a good amount of interest from potential buyers.

Irvine-based Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors specializes in the sale of single-tenant retail properties, as well as community, neighborhood and multi-tenant retail centers.
