At around $787 per square foot, the sale is one of the more expensive deals that has traded in recent months on a per foot basis. In November, German investment firm Deka Immobilien bought a 53,000-square-foot Whole Foods in Santa Monica for around $1,022 per square foot.

Petco’s profits soared during the pandemic, reporting $159 million in profit for the year ending on January 29, making it an attractive tenant. In 2020, the company reported a $31.7 million loss.

Likewise, Marshalls parent company, The TJX Companies, reported a 51 percent increase in net sales in 2021, according to financial reports. The company reported $48.5 billion in net sales in 2021, compared to $32.1 billion in 2020.

CIM Group currently has more than 50 properties across Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to its website.

In Hollywood, the company now only owns the Lumina — a 299-unit residential complex at 5929 West Sunset Boulevard with two floors of office space — and a United Oil gas station on Western Avenue.
