DJM and PGIM Real Estate Acquire Long Beach Exchange

DJM | January 05, 2022

DJM, a California-based private equity real estate and development firm, today announced its acquisition of Long Beach Exchange (LBX) in partnership with PGIM Real Estate from Burnham-Ward Properties. Eastdil is credited with brokering the deal. As experts in retail, DJM will increase LBX's value through best-in-class management, leasing, marketing and placemaking. PGIM Real Estate is the real estate investment and financing business of PGIM, the $1.5 trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc.

Built in 2018, Long Beach Exchange is a 246,500 square-foot, open-air lifestyle property located in Long Beach, California. Grocery-anchored LBX features a mix of best-in-class retail, fitness, daily needs and dining including Whole Foods, Handel's, Orange Theory, Ra Yoga, Silverlake Ramen, Ulta, Nordstrom Rack, and more. LBX also boasts The Hangar, a 17,000 square-foot food hall fashioned in the style of a vintage aviation hangar that offers a range of small, artisanal food vendors and boutique retailers to Long Beach's dense office and residential population.

Although COVID undoubtedly impacted retail across all sectors, we're now experiencing a tremendous return to growth across our entire portfolio, with foot traffic and sales numbers surpassing even pre-pandemic figures, This rebound, which reinforces the ever-changing nature of retail, is due largely in part to the outdoor nature of our properties as well as thoughtful community programming and relevant, region-specific merchandising. Long Beach Exchange is a fantastic addition to the DJM portfolio and we look forward to shaping the property into the best version of itself."

Chad Cress, Chief Creative Officer at DJM.

With today's announcement, Long Beach Exchange joins DJM's portfolio that also includes, among other destinations, Hollywood & Highland (soon to be Ovation Hollywood) in Los Angeles, Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach, and Bella Terra in Huntington Beach. PGIM Real Estate, DJM's partner at the 853,000 square-foot outdoor shopping center Bella Terra, will join DJM as a partner at LBX.

We have seen firsthand the transformation DJM has created at Bella Terra, We are extremely pleased with the value that DJM and PGIM Real Estate were able to add to the portfolio and deliver an excellent outcome for our investors even during these unprecedented times. We are excited to continue our work together at Long Beach Exchange."

Tim Hennessey, Managing Director at PGIM Real Estate.
