According to Mike Tingus, president of Lee & Associates-LA North/Ventura, the new location reflects "our strategic plan to continue our growth into emerging markets." The firm's Antelope Valley team includes seasoned brokers who specialize in office, industrial and retail properties.

Leading the new team is John Battle, who has more than 25 years of experience in office, industrial and multifamily properties. In addition, Lee has recently hired Errol Van Horne, a retail and office specialist who has spent the last 25 years doing business in the area, most recently with Coldwell Banker.

Also joining the firm is another local veteran, Susan Champion, a specialist in tenant-in-common transactions for residential and commercial development projects. Champion worked for Dunn TIC Management LP, where she specialized in investments.

In addition to Battle, Van Horne and Champion, the new Antelope Valley team includes office specialists Scott Romick and Alexander Wadley, retail specialists Bill and Linda Hagelis and Paul Capra, and industrial specialists Peter Steigleder and Paul Bellgraph. The new location is the fourth office for Lee & Associates–LA North/Ventura Inc. and the 33rd for the Lee & Associates Group of Cos.

Lee & Associates' new Antelope Valley office will be temporarily located at 936 W. Ave. J-4 in Lancaster, but it will relocate to the new 120,000-sf Challenger Business Park at 38440 Fifth Street West in Palmdale. The LA North/Ventura office is headquartered in Sherman Oaks.
