The seller was M Culinary Concepts, LLC, which in conjunction with the sale signed a long-term lease back for the full facility. The buyer was RDS Investments, which acquired the property for $8.89 million.
Executive Managing Director Phil Haenel and Senior Associate Foster Bundy of the firm’s Private Capital Group in Phoenix represented both parties in the transaction. Vice Chairmen Andy Markham and Mike Haenel also provided leasing advisory throughout the sale.
“This was a tremendous single-tenant investment opportunity for a rare and well-maintained cold storage distribution facility—featuring unique freezer/cooler and kitchen space—that is located in a strong submarket and is supported by a long-term tenant providing stable income for many years to come,” said Phil Haenel. “This location has been a long-time home for M Culinary Concepts, which has occupied the facility since it was built nearly 15 years ago.”
