NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Realm Group, LLC of Newport Beach, CA has paid $13 million for Anaheim Hills Office Plaza, a 75,000-sf office building located at 160 North Riverview Drive in Anaheim, CA.

Anaheim Hills Office Plaza is 100% occupied with local and national tenants such as Raytheon, Premier Business Centers, Century 21 and Gateway One Lending and Finance.

Darrin Olson, principal of Realm Group, commented, "Although developed as a high-quality office property in the desirable Anaheim Hills submarket, the building suffered from the effects of the recession when it was delivered for occupancy and was subsequently foreclosed on by the lender. The acquisition was a compelling opportunity to acquire a new, fully occupied building at a substantial discount to replacement cost. The property has a strong tenant roster that will carry the asset through the market downturn, later allowing the company to capitalize on improving economics once the market fundamentals improve."

The sale and leasing brokers are Chris Migliori and Kara Guarienti of Daum Commercial. Tom Sherlock and Eric Snyder of Talonvest represented the buyer in securing financing for the purchase.
