Andrew describes the sale as a rare opportunity to buy a great production studio property at a below-market cap rate.
NCIS is among the shows shot on the lot.
The new owners plan to continue to lease the property to CBS for the production of NCIS "for as long as possible," Andrew says.

SALES
A dialysis clinic in Palmdale recently sold for $6.97M with a cap rate of 5%.
The 13,750 SF dialysis clinic at 38454 5th St W is near the new Palmdale Regional Medical Center.
Meridian COO John Pollock tells Bisnow the deal involved a larger three-acre parcel; the dialysis clinic only required about one acre of the property.
A private investor based in the Central Valley bought the dialysis clinic and Meridian sold the remaining property to the neighboring self-storage facility, according to John.
As a result, Meridian was able to do a lot-line adjustment to include the extra two acres.
It helped to not only speed up the process but also "allowed us to reduce the basis in the land" for the dialysis user and provide a lower rent, John says.

Meridian bought the clinic six years ago from the lender General Electric Credit Equities.
The firm also has developed a 73k SF medical campus in Palmdale.
This is the second dialysis clinic Meridian has sold this year, following another sale of a similar clinic in San Rafael.
Meridian SVP of development Mike Conn delivered the clinic.
CBRE EVP Gary Stache and SVP Bryan Lewitt repped Meridian.
The buyer was repped by Wilton's Five Star Land Co.
