THE KLABIN COMPANY REPRESENTS DOVETAIL FURNITURE IN OFF-MARKET PURCHASE OF INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE IN LOS ANGELES
Klabin Team Negotiates $7.2 Million Transaction in Prime Location Just East of the 110 Freeway as Industrial Market Remains Strong
(October 12, 2020 – TORRANCE, CALIF.) – Signifying the continued strength of the industrial market in Southern California, The Klabin Company/CORFAC International today announced it negotiated the purchase of a 41,723-square-foot warehouse at 14150 S. Figueroa Street in Los Angeles.
The Klabin Company’s Matthew Stringfellow, SIOR, Courtney Bell and Tyler Rollema represented the buyer, Dovetail Furniture & Designs, in the $7.2 million transaction. The property was purchased from AJ Wholesale, a distributor of tools, home improvement products, outdoor recreational items and other specialized products. AJ Wholesale represented itself in the sale.
The property is situated in the prime Gardena-110 Corridor submarket location just east of the 110 Freeway at Rosecrans Avenue. According to Stringfellow, Dovetail is expanding and will use the building for warehouse and distribution. Dovetail will continue to maintain its corporate headquarters next door at 14000 S. Figueroa Street along with an additional warehouse in Carson.
Founded in 1992 by Charlie Shaw and Ted Einstein, Dovetail has developed an expertise in sourcing an eclectic range of handmade furniture, accessories and textiles from around the world. The company distributes from its L.A. facilities, and its headquarters includes a showroom for wholesale and design clients.
“Purchase opportunities in this heated market are rare,” said Stringfellow. “Low interest rates, user demand and investor activity continue to drive interest and competition for functional buildings. Dovetail wasn’t necessarily looking to purchase but seized on the opportunity to buy the neighboring property from AJ Wholesale, who was a great partner in the transaction.”
