JH Real Estate Partners Inc. in Newport Beach has bought the Inland Empire Center in Fontana for $70.5 million, according to CBRE.
The brokerage said the 309,500-square-foot shopping center at 16701-16873 Valley Blvd. has 16 parcels and tenants including Cardenas Market, Ross, Planet Fitness, Regency Theatres, Burlington, Taco Bell and several casual-dining restaurants.
Patrick Wade and Alex Kozakov at CBRE represented the seller, The Baralat Co. in Westlake Village.
“The sale of Inland Empire Center illustrates the tremendous resurgence in demand for well-located Hispanic grocery store-anchored centers in infill markets in Southern California,” said Kozakov.
He said the brokerage got multiple offers for the property.
CBRE researchers say retail vacancy levels will decline in the region, leading to higher rental rates through 2026.
