HFF Closes $31.5m Sale of Borel Square Shopping Center in San Mateo, California

 HFF announces that it has closed the $31.5 million sale of Borel Square Shopping Center, a neighborhood shopping center totaling 96,718 square feet in San Mateo, California. 

HFF represented the seller in the transaction, as well as in the sale of Borel Financial Center, the office component of the property, which closed in 2018.

Borel Square Shopping Center is located at 1750 South El Camino Real, 35-93 Bovet Road in the heart of San Mateo.  This location has visibility and direct access to Highway 92, the primary thoroughfare connecting the Peninsula to the East Bay, which has daily traffic counts of more than 129,000 vehicles.  Additionally, the shopping center’s central San Francisco Bay Area location offers excellent connectivity to Highway 101 and Interstate 280, which provide access to San Jose and Silicon Valley as well as downtown San Francisco.  The single-story retail property is anchored by CVS and 24 Hour Fitness and is 97.6% percent leased overall. 

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller was led by senior directors Eric Kathrein and Ben Bullock and director Thomas Foley.

“Due to the property’s irreplaceable mid-peninsula location and below market rents the marketing process was highly competitive resulting in tremendous interest from a diverse pool of investors,” Kathrein said.
