The Ovaness-Rostamian Group of Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the exclusive offering of two trophy automotive dealership properties leased to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), strategically located in the prestigious Santa Ana Auto Mall in Orange County, California. The Volkswagen and Audi assets may be purchased together or separately, offering flexibility for a wide range of investor profiles. Penske recently exercised one of four (5-Year) Options for each location. Both properties are 100% NNN leased through December 31, 2029, with three (3) five-year renewal options, with non-cumulative CPI increases every 5 Years capped at 12.50%, delivering stable, long-term cash flow backed by a corporately guaranteed lease from one of the nation’s leading auto retailers.
In the first year of ownership, investors may realize substantial tax advantages through a strategic cost segregation approach. By leveraging both 100% bonus depreciation and straight-line depreciation methods, the property could generate between $8,323,864 and $10,377,969 in potential tax shelter. These benefits significantly enhance the after-tax return profile for investors. For a detailed breakdown of these projections, please refer to the Cost Segregation Study included in the Financial Analysis section.
Penske Automotive Group is a publicly traded company with a BB+ S&P credit rating and a market capitalization of approximately $11.53 billion. As the second-largest auto retailer in the U.S. by revenue, Penske’s financial strength and operational scale provide exceptional tenant security.

The company has invested over $70 million in capital improvements across its Santa Ana portfolio, including a $7 million redevelopment of the Audi site in 2010, which enhanced asset value and minimized relocation risk.
