The $19.7 million purchase of three office buildings — at 7414, 7416, and 7418 Hollister Avenue in Goleta — represented southern Santa Barbara County’s largest commercial sale in 2013, Hayes Commercial Group announced last week. The buyer, whose new properties total 159,965 square feet and make up the western portion of Hollister Business Park, was not named. “This deal was years in the making,” Francois DeJohn of Hayes Commercial Group said. “Our client is a very successful and growing company, and it’s gratifying to help them secure the space they need as they expand, which also means more good jobs in Goleta.”
