Locally owned Armstrong Plumbing has faithfully served Sacramento commercial and residential customers for 50 years. What better way to celebrate its golden anniversary than by acquiring its very own commercial building. The new facility, at 2551 Albatross Way, is only 1/3 mile away (as the crow files) from the company’s former location, just on the other side of Capital City Freeway (off El Camino Ave).

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has a certain following in Sacramento with approximately ten separate facilities spread throughout the area; yet North Sacramento has been under served… until now. This month, another BJJ operator will open its doors in North Natomas, but with one significant distinction. It will sport the Gracie family name.
Those familiar with BJJ will immediately recognize the value of this franchise, which started in 1914 when “a Japanese Jiu-Jitsu champion Esai Maeda migrated to Brazil, where he was instrumental in establishing a Japanese immigrant community. His efforts were aided by Gastão Gracie, a Brazilian scholar and politician of Scottish descent. As an expression of his gratitude for Gracie’s assistance, Maeda taught the Brazilian’s oldest son Carlos the essential secrets of the ancient martial arts technique. Carlos taught Maeda’s techniques to his four brothers, and in 1925 they opened the first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu academy in Brazil.”
Jackson Sports Academy expands to 200,000 sq.ft. facility @ McClellan Park
Over the past seven years, Dwayne Jackson (Jackson Sports Academy) has leased multiple Sacramento area warehouse facilities in pursuit of growing his girls club volleyball franchise. Just over a year ago, this pursuit lead Jackson to McClellan Park, where Brian Jacks (East West Commercial Real Estate Broker) represented him for the 10-year lease of almost 75,000 square feet, which primarily houses 12 volleyball courts plus doubles for other sports and entertainment venues as well. It was always Jackson’s goal to one day expand to offer basketball and indoor soccer too. McClellan Park’s free-span hangars were the perfect solution with a sea of parking right out front. Now, with the opportunity to host basketball tournaments in connection with Matt William’s Jam On It Basketball Academy, Jackson Sports Academy and East West Commercial have secured an expansion that totals almost 200,000 square feet, making it the largest basketball facility in Northern California.

East West Commercial Real Estate is a boutique brokerage firm based in Orange County with over twenty agents in five states. After leaving a long commercial real estate lending career with Wells Fargo, Brian Jacks (Northern California Regional Vice President of East West Commercial) launched the company’s Sacramento office in November 2011. Considering the local economy is still weak, there has been sufficient activity to keep busy with several high profile commercial and non-profit lease transactions, such as Drewski’s Hot Rod Kitchen, Hacker Lab, Jackson Sports Academy, Fitness System, Curves, Streamline Church and Cornerstone Christian School.

Sacramento Business Journal reports on East West Commercial Real Estate (Sacramento) recent activity in filling the Land Park office building.
As reported byBen van der Meer Staff Writer- Sacramento Business Journal.
“A Land Park office building has come a long way from six months ago, when it was about 80 percent vacant. And part of the reason why, said the commercial real estate broker who’s helped fill it, is because it’s not acting like an office building.
With the pending arrival of Streamline Church, the building at 1250 Sutterville Road will be 80 percent full, and the way it has filled up is more reminiscent of a retail property, said Brian Jacks of East West Commercial Real Estate.
When he began looking for tenants earlier this year for the two-story building, a gym seemed like a natural tenant because there weren’t any other workout places nearby. Fitness System, which moved this spring into 17,000 square feet of the building on two floors, was the answer.
But what happened next was unusual, Jacks said. “You have consumers who are attracted to the property, and so it’s attracting tenants who feed off the consumers,” he said. Office tenants aren’t as likely to attract other office tenants based on the amount of traffic they’re getting from customers, but retail tenants are.
While there are still office-based businesses in the building, Streamline Church’s pastors, who’d previously had services at various schools in Sacramento, saw the gym and realized being there could attract potential members to the flock, according to Jacks. Pending city of Sacramento approval for a change of use permit, Streamline will have a five-year lease to occupy 7,600 square feet on the building’s first floor.
“I wasn’t necessarily expecting this to happen,” Jacks said.
There’s still space for it to happen again. At 80 percent leased, the building has about 8,000 available square feet, in spaces ranging from 670 to 2,441 square feet, or with re-configuration, up to 3,500 square feet.”

On Sutterville Road in Land Park is a two story office building located right in between the Sacramento Zoo, La Bou Café and Sprouts Market. Until recently, this 40,000 square foot building had become almost entirely devoid of tenants and business activity due to the severe recession. However, it’s not the first time this particular property has succumbed to the pressures of a deteriorating local economy.
Land Park office building becomes focal point of community once again
It’s still a tenant’s market out there… and its been that way for quite some time here in the Sacramento area. Commercial property owners know all to well that savvy tenant’s have the upper hand when it comes to negotiating new or renewal leases. However, not being armed with the right information (and trying to go it alone) can lead to less than stellar results.

The Sacramento Business Journal discussed in a recent article how Rob Fauble, owner of The Beat (a record store in Midtown Sacramento), lost his commercial property lease after 19 years in business at 1700 J Street. Although Rob make the right decision to hire a local Sacramento commercial real estate broker, he was still unsuccessful in cutting a deal with the landlord to let him stay. Occasionally, a commercial property owner has the opportunity to upgrade a tenant with a national company, who can pay more rent and create value for the property… such as the case with The Beat’s former location.
More often that not, however, in this current market, tenant’s hold the necessary leverage to negotiate highly favorable lease terms for commercial property throughout the greater Sacramento area.

Curves was launched in 1992 and quickly grew to become the largest fitness franchise in the world, with over 10,000 locations in 90 countries. In recent years, the great recession took hold and weeded out many under-performing clubs, resulting in a reduction of more than 30% (now 6,800 locations worldwide). For many reasons, it became necessary for the original Curves founders to identify a suitable equity partner to acquire the majority stake in the business and take Curves to its next level. One year ago, Curves was sold to North Castle Partners, a hands-on, value-added investor of high-growth, middle market companies in the beauty & personal care, consumer health, fitness, recreation & sports, home & leisure and nutrition sectors, among others. It is anticipated that North Castle Partners will capitalize on this investment by infusing Curves with well funded resources and pertinent expertise to regain and increase market share once more.

During the highly profitable years, many Curves owners were attracted to the franchise for seemingly quick and easy profits. It became challenging for the franchisor to maintain a high level of discretion in approving applications for re-sales. One of the reasons for an elevated level of club failures was due to the fact many investors who acquired existing operations were not hands-on and lacked the desire or discipline to effectively manage an intense service oriented business. It takes passion, knowledge and diligence to properly serve discerning women who often require encouragement and guidance to maintain healthy regiments and achieve their weight loss goals.
