DJM Announces Sale of Gateway Center in Orange County

The grocery-anchored asset sold for $51M, a 29% increase over purchase

COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —  DJM, an Orange County–based private equity real estate and development firm, has announced the sale of Gateway Center, a neighborhood retail center located in Mission Viejo, California. The property sold for $51 million, representing a 6% capitalization rate on net operating income. At the time of sale, Gateway Center was 97% leased. The transaction closed all-cash with an institutional buyer.

Completed in 1979, Gateway Center boasts a strong mix of daily-needs and service-oriented tenants. The center is leased to a combination of national and local retailers, including Starbucks, Baja Fresh, Saddleback Family & Urgent Care, Chase, and others. The center spans 7.35 acres and is located at 24000 Alicia Parkway in the heart of Mission Viejo, an affluent community in South Orange County. Positioned along highly trafficked Alicia Parkway, the property benefits from exposure to more than 78,000 vehicles per day, offering exceptional visibility and accessibility.

DJM acquired Gateway Center in December 2021 from Gerrity Group for $39.5 million, at which time the property was 83% occupied. Following the acquisition, DJM implemented a targeted repositioning strategy that included new leases with Pacific Dental, select restaurant and boutique fitness tenants, alongside property improvements such as enhanced landscaping, refreshed paint, and the introduction of a weekly community farmers market. These initiatives increased occupancy from 83% at acquisition to 97% at sale while strengthening the center’s merchandising and community presence.

“Our investment thesis focused on high-quality, densely populated suburban markets like Mission Viejo that consistently support retail demand, strong occupancy, and rental growth” said Rob Miller, Chief Executive Officer of DJM. “Gateway Center is a great example of how disciplined capital deployment, thoughtful leasing, and strategic asset management can meaningfully enhance long-term value.”

This transaction reflects DJM’s 34-year history of deploying capital with discipline and conviction across California retail markets, consistently driving leasing momentum and long-term value creation. As the firm continues to scale its platform, DJM remains focused on acquiring and developing well-located retail and mixed-use assets that serve everyday consumer demand in high-quality markets.

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings

The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days. SEC chair Paul Atkins said the move was designed to “maximize investor choice and foster innovation” while ensuring the U.S. remains the leading market for digital assets. Jamie Selway, director of the division of trading and markets, called the framework “a rational, rules-based approach” that balances access with investor protection. First products already approved Alongside the new standards, the SEC cleared the listing of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks spot assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index. It also approved trading of options tied to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version, with…
