July 2016 Greetings Friends! Time flies by and we are nearly halfway through the Summer with both the San Diego Fair and Opening Day at the Races in our rearview mirror. Our annual Opening Day party was a smashing success and we are now back in the saddle and hard at work generating new and exciting activity in both the restaurant and retail world. It’s been an incredible month with lots of activity and we look forward to carrying out many more successful transactions with our valued clients and will continue to keep you informed on our progress.

After 24 years in business, Bernard’O Restaurant in Rancho Bernardo has officially sold. Long-time owner and valued client, Bernard Mougel, retired from the business and turned the location over to the capable hands of a young couple from France, who own several restaurants there. The restaurant has now officially been converted to a more casual bistro named Le Bistro de Louisa. Open 7-days a week, this new dining spot offers a mix of Italian and French menu items for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Mike Spilky represented the Seller and Buyer in this transaction. Read more about the sale → Ace Hardware – Oceanside The coastal community of Oceanside will be excited to learn that Ace Hardware will be joining the ranks of tenants along Coast Hwy by the end of the year. Located at 259-263 S. Coast Hwy, the newly leased building consists of 10,000 square feet, plus a 12,000 square foot parking lot. Considering its location and size, the need to find a high quality, long-term tenant was at the top of our priority list and Ace Hardware fit the bill perfectly, adding a tremendous amount of value to the property and the Oceanside community as a whole. Marc Karren represented the Landlord in this transaction and Chris Hodgman with Retail Insite represented the Tenant. acehardware.com → Burger Lounge – Walnut Creek It’s official! Burger Lounge has inked their first lease in Northern California and will undoubtedly knock it out of the park. The lease was signed with TRC for a spot at the Orchards at Walnut Creek, an upcoming mixed-use project in Walnut Creek, CA. The new development will be a lifestyle center that features the finest architectural and landscaping designs, a state-of-the-art grocery store, retail, and unique outdoor spaces for visitors to enjoy. Location Matters represented the Tenant in this transaction. Pueblo – Pacific Beach It’s hard to believe the transformation of the old China Inn building at 877 Hornblend Street in Pacific Beach and we cannot fully express how excited and eager we are to step foot in the new Pueblo restaurant once it officially opens. The menu will offer traditional dishes, derived from the coastal communities of Baja, along with more contemporary chef-driven dishes made with local ingredients. And we’re confident the Happy Hour will be phenomenal.
