8.59 Acres Industrial Building Site - Corona, California
This project was a complicated land locked property encumbered with a variety of complex issues including IRS Tax Liens. Kathleen worked directly with several law firms, Title and several government agencies in order to clear the multitude of liens on the property. Complex Mitigation with County and City staff, resolving complicated development issues and extensive negotiations were necessary to solve the problems on this site. Kathleen Beard turned this once impossible project into a successful Industrial Complex.
Kathleen Beard, President of Old Pacific Realty, has represented Land owners for Fast Food Restaurant Sites, Industrial Projects, Shopping Center Sites, Orange County Art Museum, Office Buildings and Residential Subdivision Sites.
Kathleen Beard represented the Land Owner and sold the 28.9 Acres site to Chevron Land.
This site was encumbered with old rusted oil wells, overgrown unsightly land located in the center of other new home subdivisions. Once the oil wells were properly abandoned per State guidelines, this Subdivision project became a combination of single family homes and town homes with extensive beautiful lush landscaping.
This successful project provided new homes to first time buyers in Yorba Linda and aided in the affordability crisis facing the city.
