Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, announces the sale of an eight-property, 644-unit multifamily property portfolio in Los Angeles County, California. The sales price is $161,914,700.
“We generated 130 offers and sold the assets to five different investors,” says Greg Harris, IPA. “Cap rates ranged from the mid-threes to the mid-fours on current operations. Projected cap rates, post-renovation, range from 5 percent to 6 percent.”
IPA’s Greg Harris, Ron Harris, Kevin Green and Joseph Grabiec, along with Bryan Schellinger of Marcus & Millichap, represented the seller, a private ownership group, and procured the buyers. The new owners include an institutional discretionary fund, regional syndicators and high-net-worth private investors.
“The previous owner was in possession of all eight buildings for more than three decades,” comments Ron Harris. “Seven of the eight assets are non-rent-controlled.”
The properties are:
- Oaktree Apartments, 148 units, Santa Clarita
- Stillmore Apartments, 130 units, Santa Clarita
- Tamarind Terrace Apartments, 112 units, Hollywood
- Regency Apartments, 88 units, Van Nuys
- Woodley Court, 35 units, Van Nuys
- Vista Del Madre, 28 units, Pasadena
- Foothill Village, 60 units, Sylmar
- Sylvan Apartments, 43 units, Van Nuys
“It is rare to find a sizeable, almost completely non-rent-controlled value-add portfolio where the upside can be immediately realized,” comments Green. “The investment appeal was compounded by the more than 20 percent average loss-to-lease per asset, which contributed to the tremendous demand and competition this portfolio inspired.”
The combination of IPA and Marcus & Millichap investment platforms establishes unique positioning for investment professionals to reach commercial real estate investors from throughout the brokerage continuum and create viable opportunities between institutions and private entities.
