The Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association has picked up a shopping and restaurant plaza in Walnut Creek for $16.1 million.

An affiliate of the Denver-based pension fund bought Midtown Plaza at 1410-1444 North California Boulevard and two smaller commercial buildings next door at 1620-1628 Cypress Street, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

The seller was Nearon Enterprises, based in the East Bay city.

The association bought the 27,800-square-foot Midtown Plaza for $12.35 million, or $444 per square foot. It paid $3.75 million for the adjacent properties of unknown size.

Dallas-based L&B Realty Advisors, which helps large institutions find properties, was involved in the deal.
