A tractor dealership that has leased a Santa Ana industrial building for 45 years has bought that longtime home for $8.6 million, according to NAI Capital Commercial.
Eberhard Equipment has occupied the 9,780-square-feet facility at 2506 S. Harbor Blvd. since 1977.
The building dates to 1956 and sits on roughly 2 acres. It was renovated in 2019, getting a new roof and skylights, according to NAI.
The company was represented by Greg Diab and Jack Haley of Lee & Associates while the unidentified seller, a trust, was represented by David Knowlton and Steve Ehrich at NAI.
“The buyer … benefitted from a long term, below market lease which resulted in a favorable sale price,” Knowlton said.
According to Eberhard’s website, the family-run company founded by Ken L. Eberhard in 1945 now employs 21.

Avanath buys 6 complexes in Sacramento area for $182M
Irvine-based Avanath Capital Management has acquired six affordable family and senior apartment complexes in the Sacramento area for a combined $181.6 million.
The portfolio includes four family and two senior affordable communities with a total of 1,032 units.
The affordable family complexes include Anton Arcade, Norden Terrace, The Ridge and Whitney Ranch, while the senior properties include Corsair Park Senior and Hurley Creek Senior.
With this acquisition, Avanath said it now has 12 properties and manages 1,854 total units in the Sacramento area.
“Preserving affordability in markets where rental rates are historically high is the essence of our firm’s mission,” says Daryl Carter, founder, chairman, and CEO of Avanath. “As the Northern California region is a hub for technology and other high-paying industries, market-rate apartments have been driven out of reach for many lower-income families and seniors. Our goal is to provide housing that these renters can afford, particularly as inflation continues to rise.”

Silver Star Real Estate in La Palma bought a 304-unit apartment complex in Riverside, according to CBRE.
The brokerage, which represented the sellers, declined to provide terms of the deal.
Metro 3610 at 3610 Banbury Drive was built in 1984 on 15.2 acres. CBRE said many of the units have since been renovated.
“The renovated units account for approximately 10% of the total and have demonstrated potential for impressive income gains,” said CBRE’s Dean Zander. “Silver Star plans to continue improving the balance of the units and make additional common area upgrades to better position Metro 3610 in this highly desirable submarket.”
Rents at the property range from $1,857 to $2,633 for one- and two-bedroom units, according to Apartments.com.
The complex has two swimming pools, a spa and wading pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, updated fitness center and open green space with picnic areas, grilling stations and a playground.
The Inland Empire has seen rents soar during the COVID-19 pandemic as more tenants shifted east for bigger apartments at cheaper prices. Vacancy rates for the two-county region have sunk to 2.7%, pushing up rent 16.4% to a record-high average of $2,002.
“Metro 3610 has benefited from the phenomenal rent growth in the Inland Empire, which exceeded 12% over the last 12 months and has more than doubled since 2012,” said Stewart Weston, also at CBRE.
