The property was sold for $17,210,000 and is being repositioned by the new owner. This transaction was brokered by Kiser Group Advisors Katie LeGrand, Lee Kiser, and Jacob Price, who navigated complexities amidst challenging market conditions. Initially marketed in the summer of 2023, the property went under contract but did not close due to market volatility. The seller, continuing their strategic exit from Chicago, revisited the sale in 2024. The buyer, who had previously expressed interest but was unable to proceed, found the timing right one year later and successfully completed the transaction. A notable component of this deal was the buyer s assumption of the seller s existing loan, a sub-4% interest rate locked in for the next five years. This financing structure enables the buyer to achieve strong cash returns from the outset. The buyer, who now owns over 400 units in Uptown, has chosen to rename the property Sheridan Park, reinforcing its growing brand in the Market. This sale also underscores a growing trend in Chicago's real estate market, with 30% of the 2024 closings by Jacob Price and Katie LeGrand involving assumable financing—a factor that is ncreasingly appealing to buyers in the current economic climate. https://www.multifamilybiz.com/pressreleases/17346/kiser_group_facilitates_1721_million_sale_of_151un...

The 61 NW 37th Ave. community spans a 1.1-acre city block between Flagler Terrace and Northwest First streets along Douglas Road (37th Avenue).

We are proud of Douglas Enclave s role in providing attainable rental housing to the City of Miami, Torres said. From corporate professionals to service industry workers and college students, the renter response to our community has been tremendous.

Community amenities include a fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, sky deck, resident lounge, game room, business center, dog park and grooming station, ski and bike repair shop, EV charging stations and two controlled access parking garages. Bell Cherry Hills garnered a ton of attention throughout the marketing process from both institutional and private investors alike given its attractive vintage and location, said CBRE s Chris Hart. Due to current market conditions, we ve seen more and more investors gravitate towards ‘core-plus profile assets like Bell Cherry Hills, that provide strong day one cashflow and a story, whether that be a relative discount to what it would cost to build a similar property today, potential upside through marginal unit upgrades or bringing rents in line with comparable properties in the area. Bell Cherry Hills checked several of these boxes and will continue to perform well as the Englewood City Center area continues to evolve over time. Bell Cherry Hills sits at the intersection of S. Broadway and Highway 285; with access to over 401,000 jobs within a 15-minute drive of the property. Residents have easy access to some of Denver s top employment hubs, which include Swedish Medical Center, Craig Hospital and the Denver Tech Center Business Corridor, by car and the Englewood City Center Light Rail Station. The property is also near a variety of local and national dining, entertainment and retail options. Metro Denver s multifamily market fared well in Q2 2024, driven by strong renter demand, according to CBRE Research. The metro s multifamily occupancy remains unchanged from Q1 2024, sitting at 93.9% in Q2 and positioning Denver in the top quartile for occupancy resilience across all U.S. markets measured by CBRE.

The financing was originated by Brian Jones, Managing Director at Greystone, on behalf of JHT Wallick Holdings LLC. Corners Crossing is a planned construction project being co-developed by Wallick Communities and Homestretch Nonprofit Housing Corporation. The community will be geared toward middle-income residents, with rents ranging from 80-120% of area median income (AMI). In addition to the $28.2 million FHA loan from Greystone, the property will be financed with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) awarded by Grand Traverse County and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). Additionally, Blair Township passed its first ever PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) ordinance for the project which creates a fixed rate for the development s real estate taxes. This new $45 million development will have 96 one-bedroom, 78 two-bedroom, and 18 three-bedroom apartment homes. The 192-unit community will include eight, three-story walk-up buildings.

The community also will have a playground and dog park. Construction is anticipated to take approximately 24 months and be completed in Q2 2026. The HUD-insured long-term financing is such an ideal option for developers due to its lower rates and longer loan terms, particularly in the face of rising construction costs today, said Mr. Jones.

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 08:13:00 GMT e56b9c96-77e4-445f-8b8b-21091a204c23 The Mogharebi Group Secures $17.6 Million for Sale of 58-Unit Apartment Community to Affordable Housing Buyer in Reseda RESEDA, CA - The Mogharebi Group (TMG) has successfully arranged the $17.6 million sale of Pinetree Terrace Apartments, a 58-unit multifamily community in Reseda, CA. Otto Ozen, Executive Vice President, and Brian Nakamura, Senior Vice President, represented the seller. In a significant demonstration of changing market dynamics, this transaction emphasizes the trend of multifamily assets being converted into affordable housing to provide more affordable rents. The sale underscores a rising inclination toward converting market-rate properties to affordable housing options. Built in 1978 and on the market for the first time, the Pinetree Terrace apartment community is 100% occupied and sits on a large lot with 280 feet of frontage at 7940 Reseda Boulevard. The property comprises five two-story apartment buildings featuring a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 900 to 1,263 square feet, each equipped with washer and dryer hookups. Pinetree Terrace is a well-appointed community offering amenities such as a pool and spa, fitness center, laundry room, leasing office, and subterranean parking. The seller, GLS Building Corp, who also developed the property, decided to divest from the Los Angeles multifamily market and reallocate investments into other asset classes. This strategy mirrors a broader trend where investors mitigate risk and capitalize on different market opportunities, while also addressing challenges associated with the ULA tax imposed in April 2023. The nonprofit buyer, Foundation for Affordable Housing, is experienced in conversion projects and intends to transform the property to offer long-term affordable housing solutions for local community members, especially social workers and teachers. "Despite the challenges in the current economic environment, our team's persistence and in-depth knowledge of the affordable housing sector enabled us to achieve a successful outcome," said Ozen. "Ultimately, we secured an Affordable Housing Buyer, which exempted the seller from the 5.5% ULA Mansion Tax, saving them nearly $1 million in ULA taxes. We anticipate that the trend of converting market-rate multifamily assets to affordable housing will continue to grow." About The Mogharebi Group: The Mogharebi Group (mogharebi.com) is a leader in real estate investment and advisory, specializing in the multifamily property sector throughout the Western U.S. with nationwide reach.

Adjacent to Lexington Trace, the builder s successful development of 106 rowhomes, this new community offers maintenance-free living and three-story floor plans from Lexington s popular and time-tested Mews Collection. The two models are ready for quick move-in, while the early-delivery homes will be available by November and December. The builder is currently covering closing costs for all four remaining homes, as well as one full year of HOA dues, which is a $3,000 value. Sales went very quickly for the first 44 rowhomes at Lexington Trace 2, thanks to high demand for new-construction options in this prime west-suburban location, said Jeff Benach, principal of Lexington Homes. Buyers have told us they appreciate the proximity to commuter corridors, all the great options for shopping and dining in nearby Naperville, and the plentiful green space and recreational venues including direct access to the Illinois Prairie Path that runs right through the community. Most importantly, our homes offer modern, sophisticated finishes and design features at an accessible price point, he added. And, as the housing market remains tight and interest rates pose a challenge for some buyers, we are happy to be able to offer the special incentives of no closing costs and a year s worth of HOA fees on these final few homes to help buyers who may need a little extra support. This is a great opportunity to purchase now and get settled into a new home by this fall. Known for their highly efficient use of square footage and flexible spaces, the Mews floor plans at Lexington Trace 2 measure 1,758 to 1,914 square feet. The four remaining homes feature the Coventry and Warrington floor plans and have two to three bedrooms, 2½ to 3½ baths, balconies and rear-facing attached garages. The homes are priced from $461,285. The Coventry model, priced at $509,990, is a 1,914-square-foot home with three bedrooms and 2½ baths. The lower level includes a flex space, storage closet and access to the attached two-car garage, while the main living level features an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area as well as a powder room. Upstairs is a primary suite with upgraded spa bath and vaulted ceiling, along with two secondary bedrooms, a full hall bath, linen closet and the laundry room. This beautifully finished model home showcases many of the great upgrades we offer and is perfect for a buyer looking for a turnkey opportunity to move into a home where professional designers have made all the selections for a stylish, modern home, said Benach. We pulled out all the stops in the kitchen and included an oversized quartz waterfall island, contemporary vented hood, Sublimity pattern tile backsplash and a built-in buffet with added storage in the dining area. The home features custom crown molding and window treatments, and the neutral color scheme throughout the home is accented with fun pops of color from wallpaper and paint. Priced at $529,990, the Warrington model has two bedrooms and 2½ baths and measures 1,758 square feet. The home s upper level features dual primary suites with spa baths and large walk-in closets as well as a laundry room with cabinetry, while the lower level offers a flex space, storage closet and access to the two-car garage. On the main living level, the kitchen features a white color scheme along with veined quartz countertops, an oversized kitchen island, a stylish picket backsplash and extra-tall, stacked cabinetry that goes up to the ceiling with crown molding. Another decorator-appointed model home complete with a number of sought-after optional features, this residence is an end-unit, which means residents will enjoy added natural light from extra windows and serene views of the walking path and protected green space at the community, said Benach. And, for buyers who work remotely, this home has an office/den space on the main level, close to the kitchen, dining and living areas but with French doors to create a bit of privacy. This is our last Warrington floor plan at this community, so anyone looking for a home with a great private workspace should check out this model before it s gone. The two remaining early-delivery homes feature the 1,914-square-foot Coventry design. In both homes, the main level includes an open-concept kitchen/dining room/great room, a powder room, coat closet and a balcony. Upstairs is a primary bedroom suite, two secondary bedrooms, a full hall bath, linen closet and laundry room. The finished lower level of the homes features a flex space, large storage closet and access to an attached two-car garage. One of the homes, which is available for move-in by November 1, is an end unit with three bedrooms and 2½ baths, priced at $461,285. It includes upgraded subway tile backsplash and a built-in buffet in the kitchen area. The second Coventry available for move-in is priced at $494,500 and also includes three bedrooms and 2½ baths. This home will be ready for move-in by December. These final homes are ideal for buyers looking to be settled into a new home by the holidays, said Benach.
