MIG Real Estate Acquires 116,000-Square-Foot Desert Inn Office Center

NEWPORT BEACH, CA, June 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) MIG Real Estate, a Newport Beach, Calif.-based real estate investment company formerly known as Stoneridge Capital Partners, has acquired Desert Inn Office Center, a 116,000-square-foot business park comprised of four multi-tenant office buildings. This is the firm's fourth Las Vegas acquisition since October 2010. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

"There is significant 'upside' potential in the Las Vegas market." said Greg Merage, chief executive officer of MIG Real Estate.

Desert Inn Office Center is leased to a diverse mix of tenants within the business services, communications and nonprofit sectors. The property is also strategically located within an emerging medical corridor near the Desert Orthopedic Center and Sunrise Hospital.

"The continued growth of the medical corridor provides the unique opportunity to offer competitively priced office space to the region's healthcare providers," said Merage.

Located at 2725-2795 Desert Inn Road, Desert Inn Office Center is situated 1.5 miles from Sunrise and Desert Springs Hospitals and is three miles east of the U.S. 95.

Since entering the Las Vegas market in October 2010, MIG has assembled a portfolio of assets that includes the 100,000-square-foot Sunset Pilot Plaza property in the Hughes Center, the 99,000-square-foot Vista Commons retail center in Summerlin and the 152,000-square-foot Rainbow Corporate Center.
