VOIT REAL ESTATE SERVICES HANDLES MOTHER’S MARKET LEASE TO OPEN FLAGSHIP STORE IN COSTA MESA

IRVINE, Calif., (February 11, 2010) –Voit Real Estate Services has transacted a ten-year lease on a 25,000 square-foot building for the expansion of the Costa Mesa location of Mother’s Market & Kitchen.

Mother’s Market & Kitchen is a health food market and lifestyle retailer with six locations throughout Orange County. Mother’s will be using this new location on the corner of Newport Boulevard and 19th Street as their flagship store, relocating from its current Costa Mesa address.

“We were able to find a high-visibility corner at the entrance to downtown Costa Mesa and structure a lease that allowed Mother’s Market to build a store that better serves the shopping needs of their customers,” explained Jeffrey Simonds of Voit Real Estate Services Irvine office, who handled the transaction for Mother’s Market. “The new location which is a former Border’s Books space, offers a prime location for Mother’s to expand their business.”

Mother’s Market & Kitchen is anticipated to open in its new location at 1890 Newport Boulevard in late Spring of 2010.

Simonds represented the lessee, Mother’s Market & Kitchen, in this transaction. Jeff Segal represented the landlord, BW Associates.
