The seller, The Evergreen Co. of Sacramento, developed the mid-rise product between 1999 and 2002. The buildings range in size from 62,000 sf to 121,000 sf and are each net leased to a single tenant.

Bear, Stearns & Co provided Bentley Forbes institutional financing for the acquisition. Heath Charamuga and the Capital Advisory Services Team of Grubb & Ellis Co. spearheaded the transaction.

The purchase marks the start of a buying binge for Bentley Forbes. Company president C. Frederick Wehba says the company is targeting $500 million in investments before mid-year 2004, and will be aggressively pursuing single-tenant and multi-tenant class A office, industrial, warehouse and retail properties "where strategically appropriate to the growth of our portfolio."
