Here are LA County’s top 5 office sales in August

After a fairly slow summer, the office investment market rebounded last month, thanks in large part to a big-ticket purchase from StarPoint Properties.

Combined, the top five office sales in August totaled $241.4 million. That’s a marked increase from the mere $37 million that transacted in July, but still considerably less than June’s $403 million.

Aside from StarPoint’s purchase in Beverly Hills, most deals transacted outside of Los Angeles city limits. The data was compiled from property records on Property Shark.

1. 433 Camden Drive | $193 million

StarPoint Properties closed on its $193 million purchase of an office building in the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle last month, logging the most expensive office trade last month by a landslide. The deal was part of a 1031 exchange, in which the company used proceeds from the sale of two multifamily properties to pay for the building. The sellers were Camden Properties LLC and Camden Land Corp., two entities controlled by Ralph Shapiro. Located at 433 Camden Drive, the 207,400-square-foot building is one of the tallest in Beverly Hills. It’s currently leased to Wells Fargo, its anchor tenant.

The seller of the eight-story building, at 1411 W. 190 Street, was Sares Regis, a commercial and multifamily developer based in Irvine. The sale comes just one month after Sares Regis sold off another asset in Torrance, the Gramercy Plaza office building located on the former Toyota Motors campus.
