  • Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) March 19, 2019 - Crosbie Gliner Schiffman Southard & Swanson LLP (CGS3) – representing buyer Safco Capital Corporation a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm – has helped close the $25.25 million sale of the retail lot housing Gelson’s Market, a 17,833-square-foot gourmet grocery store in West Hollywood. The 1.25-acre site, located at 8330 W. Santa Monica Blvd. West Hollywood, was sold by Mayfair Realty Inc., an operating company that owns real estate in Los Angeles County, including three Gelson’s Market locations.

    According to David Swartz, the CGS3 partner who handled the deal, the transaction was structured as a sale-leaseback. CGS3, a Southern California-based commercial real estate law firm, negotiated – on behalf of Safco – both the purchase agreement with the seller and the lease agreement with Gelson’s Markets.

    "This was an appealing deal for our client on multiple levels," Swartz said. “Gelson's Markets is recognized as one of the nation's premier gourmet grocery stores. Additionally, West Hollywood is one of the most vibrant, diverse and desirable locations in Southern California.”

    Founded in 1951 and headquartered in Encino, Gelson’s currently operates 28 specialty grocery stores throughout California.
