Orange-based MCA Realty sold Spectrum Business Park, a 68,911-square-foot six-building industrial complex in Federal Way, Washington, for $13.75 million.

An unidentified investor bought the complex as part of a 1031 exchange.

MCA bought the business park in September 2021 and invested about $500,000 in capital improvements that improved much of the exteriors of the buildings, select interiors and campus landscaping.

Spectrum Business Park, completed in 1978, is between Seattle and Tacoma and was fully leased at the time of the sale.

MCA said the business park was its fifth property sold in its Industrial Growth Fund.
