. The purchase price was not disclosed, but commercial real estate officials estimated that Kearny paid between $55 million and $60 million for the property.

After the purchase, Kearny invested $5 million in upgrades and wrote between 130,000 square feet to 150,000 square feet of new and renewal leases, said company Vice President Rob Arron.

``It's been a good investment. It's a great business park and just a very desirable piece of real estate for any business,'' he said.

Arron declined to disclose the selling price of the buildings.

They comprise about half of the square footage.

One buyer, a woman who did not want to be identified, recently paid $22.8 million for a six-building portfolio totaling 168,457 square feet.

Tenants in this portfolio include Science and Applied Technology Inc.; the San Fernando Valley San Fernando Valley
