Normandie Ave. situated just north of Hollywood Blvd. and south of Franklin Ave. in the Los Feliz submarket of Los Angeles.

Glenn utilized his strong relationships in the market to identify a buyer who was aggressively seeking to acquire a stabilized, quality building in this location, and who understood the future upside potential of the asset. 

  The buyer was also able to take advantage of an attractive assumable loan with favorable terms that was originated in July of 2012 through Chase Bank.

“Lion Real Estate Group purchased the property in 2010 and was able to successfully sell it just two years later for a strong return on investment,” said Glenn.

“Because of Lion’s hands-on management, ability to add value, and increase the financial performance of the property, their exit strategy was able to be realized in this off-market transaction.  They will use the proceeds as part of a 1031 tax-deferred exchange to continue their strategy of investing in value-add and opportunistic multifamily assets in Southern California.”

According to Glenn, the seller had recently renovated about half of the units with new kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, and several common area upgrades were completed including complete exterior painting, interior hallway painting, carpet replacement, installation of security cameras, upgraded intercom, landscaping and signage.
