Dallas fund advisor invests in Silicon Valley

Grubb & Ellis Co. recently arranged the sale of McCarthy Ranch Marketplace, a 265,324-square-foot retail center in Milpitas, Calif.

The value of the transaction was $63.1 million.

L&B Realty Advisors LLP, a Dallas, Texas-based pension fund advisor, purchased the Silicon Valley property from San Francisco-based RREEF. RREEF had purchased the property in 1998.
