Rancho Cucamonga, CA – January 27, 2021 – Progressive Real Estate Partners, the leading Inland Empire retail real estate brokerage firm, announced today the sale of the Shops at Fontana Square, a 7,194 square-foot unanchored multi-tenant retail center located at 17218 Foothill Boulevard in Fontana, California. The property sold for $2.8M in an all-cash transaction. The 100% occupied center is located on one of Fontana’s primary retail corridors directly across from a well-established Wal-Mart anchored center.
Progressive Real Estate Partners’ VP of Investment Sales Greg Bedell, CCIM and VP of Investment Sales Mike Lin exclusively marketed the property and represented the seller, a private Arizona-based investor. Dolly Yau from Dolly Realty represented the buyer, a private SoCal-based investor.
Built in 2008, Foothill Village features modern architecture and is home to a stable mix of 7 internet-resistant services none of which have required pandemic-related rent relief. The center enjoys excellent visibility on Foothill Boulevard with 200+/- feet of unobstructed 
frontage facing Wal Mart. Furthermore, the property is located in a densely populated area with more than 191,000 residents within 3-miles earning an average household income of $76,650.
According to Bedell, “Through our aggressive marketing campaign, we were able to produce multiple qualified offers within days of going to market, ultimately securing a non-exchange all-cash buyer at 98% of the asking price. The buyer was attracted to the property’s location across from a high performing Walmart, the center’s strong occupancy history, the resiliency of the tenants throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and the diverse rent roll with 7 equally sized units. The buyer had a short 14-day due diligence period over the Holiday season and closed the first week of January.”
Lin added, “With bond yields at records lows and a general sense that the stock market feels frothy, we are starting to see investors return to the multi-tenant retail investment market in search of stability and yield”.
