"This property is leased on a long-term, triple net basis to one of the largest, privately owned and operated fitness center chains" said Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer of Capital Square Realty Advisors.

The two-story building is located at 1530 W. Covina Parkway, approximately 19 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. The 1.6-acre property includes a three-level, free-standing parking garage, and is designed as a 24 Hour Fitness "Sport" facility.
