Shopoff and Invesco Team Up to buy California Waterfront Office

Shopoff Realty Investments and Invesco Real Estate acquired Bayside Square in Newport Beach, California in a joint venture partnership. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The 35,000-square-foot office building is situated directly on the water overlooking Bayside Marina at the foot of the bridge to Balboa Island. The partnership intends to maintain and improve upon the current operations of the office building, while exploring opportunities to enhance long-term value.

“Bayside Square is a one-of-a-kind property, in a location unlike almost any other, at the heart of some of the most desirable and expensive real estate in the country,” said William Shopoff, chief executive officer of Shopoff Realty Investments. “Our company envisions multiple strategies to unlock the hidden value of this asset.”

“We’re excited about the ability to align our opportunistic capital with a first class, specialized partner in a truly irreplaceable location,” said Chase Bolding, an investment officer with Invesco Real Estate.

“Once we have completed our business plan, we will improve public access, as well as enhance this property’s position within the neighborhood,” added John Santry, executive vice president of Shopoff Realty Investments Land Division. “We intend to streamline operations and efficiently manage the office building throughout the process.”
