"Donsuemor insisted on not owning the buidling, so its brokers Jeff Lahr and Jim Clark at Cornish and Carey found buyers willing to turn around and rent to the company — a pair of Pleasant Hill lawyers.
Lahr said the company will be going in right behind Peets' roasting facility.
"It's clean out there," Lahr said of the Alameda location. "It's a little isolated and quiet, but it won't be in the future."
Lahr added that Alameda officials have been pursuing light manufacturers.
Cornish and Carey's Walnut Creek office represented the attorneys who bought the building while Cushman and Wakefield handled the listing for SRM. |

" "Westfield afforded them a reason to come," said Julie Taylor of Cornish & Carey. "They realized they had better do this now. If they wanted a store in the mall, they must get a flagship on the street now before their competitors arrive and all the good spots are gone."
Taylor added that an uptick in leasing interest followed Westfield's ground breaking, but the improved local economy and tourism figures have also attracted retailers to the city.
"There's been a huge shift in the perception of San Francisco as a viable market...because of the exposure the project has brought," she said. "Nobody would touch this market three years ago, and now everybody's really interested."

"At many malls, developers looking for new concepts to excite shoppers are giving international retailers the deals traditionally reserved for top tenants.
"These terms have always been there for the hot retailer, but historically the hot retailer was an American company," says Julie Taylor, senior vice president with real-estate-brokerage firm Cornish & Carey Commercial-Oncor International. "Now, more often than not, those are foreigners." " |
