Dec. 7, 2021, 12:25 p.m.: The headquarters of Amazon’s home security arm Ring in Hawthorne has sold for around $65 million — more than $1,000 per square foot, The Real Deal has learned.

It’s a high-water mark for the local office market lately. It matches a top price in Los Angeles County for the third quarter, which was Excelsior Partners’ sale a 52,000-square-foot office property in next-door El Segundo for $52 million.

Los Angeles-based IDS Real Estate bought the 62,000-square-foot office property at 12515 Cerise Avenue, which was built by developer Zach Vella, according to CBRE’s Kevin Foley, who brokered the deal.

As Los Angeles (and all of California) has gone beyond the color-tiered system of ranking COVID-19 levels and has returned to allowing businesses, venues, restaurants and bars to open without restrictions, private social clubs — the hottest places to be before the pandemic hit — are once again emerging. Some are a bit battered, others have succumbed and closed permanently, a few have thrived and one has sprung to life just as vaccinations open our city back up.

The properties and the undeveloped parcel are all located in Hawthorne and Carson, Calif., within the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The four developed assets comprise a combined 206,333 rentable square feet and are currently 95 percent leased out, according to MRC.

The one asset in Carson — a neighborhood straddled by Compton to the north and Long Beach to the south — is a light industrial site at 1010 Sandhill Avenue that is completely leased out to energy infrastructure firm Chanje Energy.

The three other built properties are in Hawthorne. There is 12536 Chadron Avenue, a light industrial and flex property that’s occupied by Venturi Astrolab, an aerospace engineering and manufacturing firm and division of Venturi Automobiles; 13100 Yukon Avenue, a flex industrial property that is currently leased to a Nerd Street Gamers esports training center, aerospace wireless laser communications manufacturer Mynaric Inc., and sustainable mens and womens clothing brand For Days; and 13040 Cerise Avenue, a one-story complex that is leased out to a mix of artists and musicians, according to MRC.

Vella Group’s development site at 13007 Yukon Avenue in Hawthorne was the last piece of the portfolio, and it will eventually host a roughly 50,000-square-foot light industrial space, according to MRC. The firm is aiming at completing the property in the latter half of 2023.
