The Hamilton Co., a Newport Beach-based investor and developer, has acquired the 85,514-sf facility. Located at 14511 Myford Rd., the building stands two stories high. It was vacant at the time of sale.

The buyer was represented by Bryon Ward of Grubb & Ellis Co.'s Newport Beach office. Mike Smith of the Staubach Co. represented Texas Instruments.

Industry experts don't foresee a turnaround in the county's office market until mid-year 2002. Even then, they predict that office landlords will be more willing to accommodate tenant demands. According to a recent forecast by Grubb & Ellis, "opportunities for tenants to restructure deals on existing space will increase as landlords focus on keeping their properties occupied." Tenants, on the other hand, will need to provide letters of credit, as landlords are becoming increasingly concerned about this issue.
