Colliers Brokers +733k SF Tech Park Sale in Goleta, CA
Southern California, March 19, 2026 – Colliers is pleased to announce the recapitalization sale of the Tech Park @ Goleta Portfolio, a landmark Class A, 17-building technology campus comprised of five business parks spanning 733,497 SF in the Central Coast city of Goleta, California. The transaction marks one of the most notable trades in a market defined by limited supply and muted transaction activity. The portfolio was acquired for an undisclosed figure through a recapitalization that included Majestic Asset Management, Praelium, Blackbird Investment Group, and H.I.G. Capital, introducing new institutional capital and strategic oversight and positioning the campus for continued growth and long-term value creation.
The seller, David Fradin, Head of Majestic Asset Management, has spent years thoughtfully preparing the portfolio for this next phase of ownership, adding value through leasing, tenant buildouts, branding, and targeted upgrades across the five campuses. Majestic is currently identifying potential industrial opportunities throughout the Western U.S. to purchase for its exchange.
The acquisition meaningfully enhances the partners’ strategic positioning within one of Southern California’s most sought-after and supply-constrained markets. “Goleta’s combination of entrenched technology and aerospace tenants, limited new supply, and strong institutional ownership continues to support long-term investor conviction in the market,” said Sean Fulp, Vice Chair at Colliers and lead broker on the transaction. “We continue to see sophisticated capital prioritize high-quality R&D and industrial assets in Goleta given the market’s durable fundamentals and long-term growth trajectory.”
Alongside Fulp, the Colliers team of Vice Chair Michael Kendall, Executive Vice Presidents Mark Schuessler and Gian Bruno, Senior Vice President Kenny Patricia, and Associate Vice President Blake Hammerstein partnered with local market experts Francois DeJohn and Caitlin Hensel, Partners at Hayes Commercial Group, in exclusively marketing the portfolio and facilitating the deal on behalf of all parties. CBRE Executive Vice Presidents Brad Zampa and Mike Walker provided debt and structured finance advisory.
The transaction further reflects the momentum behind Colliers’ expansion into the Central Coast. Following the firm’s Santa Barbara office opening last year, the local platform is poised to capture growing investor and occupier demand and support future opportunities throughout the region.
Designed to support a broad range of uses, including office, flex, laboratory, and industrial, the portfolio offers a dynamic environment tailored to innovation-driven tenants. Approximately 85% of the portfolio is dedicated to industrial and R&D space, aligning with strong demand from advanced manufacturing, aerospace, defense, medical device, and emerging technology users.
Located along California’s Central Coast and in close proximity to the University of California, Santa Barbara, Goleta has emerged as a hotbed for technology, aerospace, defense, and medical device companies. The region benefits from a strong research ecosystem, a highly educated workforce, and a collaborative business environment that fosters commercialization and growth.
The city is home to major global and national corporations, including Google, Microsoft, Yardi, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Sonos. In recent years, the market has also seen accelerating momentum from quantum computing and artificial intelligence companies, further diversifying and strengthening the local economy.

Flight to the Future - Reimagining the Santa Monica Airport
November 04, 2025 - The upcoming closure of the Santa Monica Airport marks a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the city’s west side and deliver lasting benefits for the broader community. With over 220 acres set to be re-purposed as public parkland, the transformation has the potential to redefine the Ocean Park neighborhood—introducing expansive green space, new recreational amenities, and pedestrian-friendly connections where runways once stood. For nearby residents and the surrounding office and creative business districts, the new parkland promises not only a major environmental upgrade but also a powerful amenity that enhances quality of life, supports healthier lifestyles, and helps attract and retain talent in Santa Monica’s evolving economic landscape.
Unlocking Housing Near Transit: Impacts of California Senate Bill 79
October 23, 2025 - California Senate Bill 79, the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, introduces a statewide zoning framework that enables mid-rise residential development near major transit stops. The legislation establishes clear, tiered standards for height, density, and floor area ratios, while overriding restrictive local limits within designated transit areas. SB 79 is designed to align housing growth with existing infrastructure, reduce car dependence, and expand supply in high-opportunity neighborhoods. By standardizing entitlements across qualifying corridors, the law provides developers and investors with greater clarity, predictability, and the potential for value creation around transit-oriented locations. This insight report examines the statewide framework created under SB 79 and its implications for entitlement, feasibility, and investment. Featuring Los Angeles as a case study, the report illustrates how local implementation could reshape land use patterns along key Metro corridors, including the B, D, A, E, and K lines. As the policy takes effect in mid-2026, SB 79 is expected to drive renewed interest in infill development, strengthen collaboration between cities and transit agencies, and advance the next generation of sustainable, transit-connected communities across California.
Signs of Stabilization: Los Angeles Office Market Mid-2025
September 15, 2025 - The Greater Los Angeles office market posted mixed results in Q2 2025, with leasing activity holding steady at 7.0 million square feet year-to-date—mirroring the first half of 2024—but overall vacancy rising slightly to 24.4% Finance, legal, and healthcare tenants drove demand, while technology, media, and entertainment remained cautious in committing to long-term space strategies. Sublease availability fell to 4.2%, its lowest level in three years, signaling that much of the excess pandemic-era space has been absorbed Average asking rents increased 1.8% year-over-year to $3.92 per square foot per month, with Class A space commanding $4.22. Roughly 2.3 million square feet remain under construction, concentrated in West Los Angeles and Hollywood, with most completions expected by year-end 2026. Performance varied widely by submarket. Century City continued to lead West Los Angeles leasing, accounting for 27% of activity and achieving 5.2% annual rent growth. Downtown Los Angeles struggled with a 29.7% availability rate, while Hollywood/Mid-Wilshire reached a record 30.2% due to media consolidation. The Tri-Cities market posted modest rent gains but faced the region’s highest sublease rate at 5.2%. In contrast, San Gabriel Valley saw availability drop to 11% on strong healthcare and government demand, and the San Fernando Valley recorded leasing growth led by finance and healthcare tenants. Overall, the market shows early signs of stabilization, but recovery remains uneven. Location, building quality, and tenant mix will continue to define performance across Los Angeles office markets through the next 18 months.
