Two Orange County investors have paid $2.87 million for the Riverside Auto Center in Riverside, according to Sperry Van Ness, a real estate brokerage firm.
The investors are Mark Van Ness of Newport Beach and Dr. Ron Barlow of Irvine. Mark Van Ness is managing director of Sperry Van Ness, a Newport Beach-based partnership.
The 10-year-old, multi-use center was sold by Tom Tucker and Bill Garwin, both of Newport Beach. The new owners do not plan to change the center’s operation.
