GLENDALE, CA, Apr 27, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
American Realty Advisors, a leading provider of real estate
investment management services for institutional investors, announced
today the acquisition of two 100% leased quality industrial buildings
located in the Los Angeles MSA. The transactions were executed on
behalf of one of American’s separate account clients to acquire the
properties through a joint venture formed with CT Realty Investors.

Victoria Industrial is a 101,724 SF single-tenant industrial building
located on 4.18 acres of land in the heart of the South Bay
submarket, a prime submarket in the Southern California industrial
market due to its close proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach. The property is conveniently located near the 91, 710,
405 and 110 freeways, and further benefits from its highly-functional
design, including 20 dock-high loading positions, 22-24 foot clear
heights and 7,124 SF of office space.

14300 Bonelli Street is a 133,237 SF, single-tenant industrial
building located on 6.58 acres of land, ideally-situated near the 60
and 605 freeways in the San Gabriel Valley, one of the top-performing
industrial markets in Southern California. The property features a
100-205 foot truck court, 22 foot clear heights, rail access and
6,760 SF of office space.

American’s Chairman and CEO, Stanley L. Iezman, stated, “Backed by
strengthening industrial production in the U.S., in-fill submarkets
within Southern California appear to be positioned for strong
near-term and long-term growth. We believe the acquisition of this
two-property industrial portfolio in one of the nation’s
top-performing industrial MSAs will likely generate superior returns
for our client and is consistent with the firm’s commitment to
enhancing our client’s portfolios with strategically-located
high-quality assets.”
