Lee & Associates LA North/Ventura's recently published Q2 Office Market Report indicated that the Conejo Valley's occupancy rates are stabilizing. Agoura Hills is sandwiched between higher rent submarkets of Calabasas and Westlake Village, the markets with the most expensive rental asking prices.

The Conejo Valley which includes Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, Lake Sherwood and Calabasas, is a growing mecca for the Life Sciences/ R&D uses. Its proximity to a range of amenities including affluent residential areas, commercial spaces, world-class shopping and entertainment areas, top-ranked public and private schools, and open spaces, along with its proximity to the Pacific Ocean 10-15 miles from its inland, has increased its appeal for companies to attract talent and grow businesses.

The buyer, Harbor Associates, has been active in the area and has been looking to further increase its footprint of properties in the market. The company is focused on value-add projects in the western United States.
