Axiom Retail Advisors, an Irvine, California-based retail consulting firm that specializes in Southern California landlord and tenant representation, as well as development, announced the leasing of Daiso, Water Wings, Hotworx Yoga and Prizm Dental at Foothill Plaza in La Verne, California, bringing the center to 100% occupancy.
Stephanie Skrbin and Lea Clay Park of Axiom represented the property owner, Edens.
Foothill Plaza, a 64,522-square-foot retail center located at 1335-1397 Foothill Blvd. in La Verne, was owned by Combined Properties, which also managed the center and was led in-house by Nadia Gilmore and Zach Sussman. However, in December of last year, Edens acquired the asset and retained Axiom as the leasing brokers. Elizabeth Furnelli at Edens was instrumental in finalizing the transactions and achieving the goal of maximizing NOI on the property.
“When we were brought on to lease the asset, it was clear that the property had suffered the effects of COVID-19 with a considerable amount of vacancy. However, we understood the wonderful attributes that a stable, well-positioned community like La Verne has to offer,” said Skrbin, noting that all the major retail players are situated on this small corridor along Foothill Boulevard. “We left no stone unturned and ultimately delivered what we truly feel are tenants who are great additions to the neighborhood.”
