American Realty Advisors announced today the acquisition of 200 South Los Robles Avenue, a 130,818 square foot six story Class-A office building located in Pasadena, California, one of strongest office markets in the country. The property was acquired on behalf of one of American's pension fund clients.

American would like to extend a special thank you to Jeffrey Cole and Rick Putnam of Trammell Crow Company and Carlton Maese of CB Richard Ellis for their diligent efforts in assisting with the completion of this transaction.

Situated at the southeast corner of South Los Robles Avenue and Cordova Street in Pasadena, the property enjoys a desirable location within either walking distance or a short drive to local business, hotels, banks and services, as well as to popular restaurants, upscale shopping and entertainment centers. This attractive and well-maintained office building boasts a strong roster of diverse tenants. The property is currently 85% leased with good rent upside potential upon renewals.
