ABOUT 1098 COLE RD , CALEXICO, CA 92231

This is a turnkey opportunity for investors seeking a cash-flowing asset with operational simplicity and future upside in a high-demand market.

ABOUT EL CENTRO

El Centro is located more than 100 miles east of San Diego on Interstate 8, and it’s the county seat of Imperial County. The Mexican border is a short distance away, as is Mexicali, the capital city of Baja. Its proximity to the border plays an important role in facilitating cross-border ties among businesses, governments, and residents here. There are roughly 70,000 people within 5 miles of El Centro, and daytime employment exceeds 30,000 people. Median household incomes are above $50,000, and consumer spending in this area tops $600 million.

Many of the retail corridors here are highly trafficked and filled with national fast-food chains and category killers such as Costco and Home Depot. That is juxtaposed against the mom-and-pop brick-and-mortar retailers who have occupied their space in local centers for years.

Investors have an opportunity to find well-tenanted retail centers in local neighborhoods while also being able to attract consumers from the Mexican side of the border. Investors can also typically find higher yields here than in other Southern California regions.
