NEWPORT BEACH, CA-PM Realty Group has landed 371,627 sf in new property and construction management assignments for WCB Properties, including office and retail space in Chatsworth, Tustin and Newport Beach. The properties are part of a 571,540-sf, five-property portfolio acquired by Newport Beach-based WCB Properties and UBS Realty Investors LLC from ProLogis in June 2006.

With these new assignments, PMRG now manages WCB's entire ProLogis portfolio acquisition. The three new assignments are the Chatsworth Business Center, the Pacificenter Tustin and Commercenter Newport. John Rowen, SVP for PM Realty Group, will oversee the property and construction management teams for the portfolio.

Chatsworth Business Center is a four-building, 214,238-sf business park on an 11.33-acre site on Oakdale Avenue near the Northridge Fashion Center. The park is more than 80% leased, with major tenants such as 101 Communications, Washington Mutual Bank and Reynolds & Reynolds.
