Presidio Property Trust Announces Sale of World Plaza

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 21, 2022 / (NASDAQ:SQFT)(NASDAQ:SQFTP) Presidio Property Trust, Inc. ("Presidio" or "Company"), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today announced the closing last week of the sale of World Plaza, a retail center located in San Bernardino, California.

"This sale completes the execution of our strategy of divesting from retail properties located in the State of California," said Jack Heilbron, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our last remaining commercial property in California, Genesis Plaza, houses our San Diego headquarters, which we currently have no plans to sell."

"World Plaza is an example of Presidio's skill at repositioning assets," added Gary Katz, Chief Investment Officer. "We did extensive renovations to reposition the property and raised occupancy from 31% at the end of 2018 to 100% in 2019. The property remained fully occupied at the time of sale."

Presidio was represented by Matt Burnett of Hanley Investment Group.
