$13-Million Complex for Thousand Oaks

Santa Ana-based Burke Real Estate Group has purchased 11 acres of land in Thousand Oaks where it plans to build a $13-million, 22-building industrial complex--the first speculative project to be developed in Ventura County in a decade.

Burke purchased the property on Grande Vista Drive with equity partner Heller Financial from Silagi Development & Management. Construction has already begun, and the 145,000-square-foot complex is expected to be completed in late spring or early summer of 1998.
