Steve Sprenger of the Grubb & Ellis Anaheim office tells GlobeSt.com that Pacific Messenger has already occupied the facility, which is at 1830 Raymer Ave. in the Fullerton Business Park. Sprenger was part of a three-broker team including Steve Bryant of Grubb & Ellis in Anaheim and Steve Crane of Ashwill Associates in the city of Orange that represented the buyer. The seller was represented by Rick McGeagh of the CB Richard Ellis Inc. office in Torrance and Ben Seybold of CBRE's Aneheim office.

Sprenger tells GlobeSt.com that Pacific Messenger is using the 45,000 sf for warehousing and distribution in a relocation from approximately 8,000 sf in Anaheim, where it had been for about 25 years. He explains that the firm's large jump in square footage was a result both of its growth and an expansion of its capabilities. The company formerly operated only as a delivery service, he says, but now it includes warehouse operations as part of its services.

The new space is convenient for warehousing, distribution and delivery, Sprenger notes, because it is near Kraemer Boulevard and the 91 Freeway. He says the company first occupied the newly built space on a short-term lease because escrow had not closed in time to beat the lease expiration at Pacific Messenger's previous location.
