Assisted living facility in St. Petersburg, FL sells for $8.4 million


Kenneth Carriero
St. Petersburg, FL (July 29, 2015) – Bristol Court, an assisted living facility specializing in memory care, has sold for $8.4 million. 

The facility, built in 1960 and completely renovated in 2011, has 70 units and 115 beds. At the time of the sale the facility was 89 percent occupied.

CTR Partnership, L.P., a REIT focusing on senior housing assets, purchased the facility from SPALF Holdings, LLC.

The transaction was brokered by Kenneth Carriero, Senior Vice President, CCIM, and Damien Carriero, Associate Vice President of Colliers International National Seniors Housing Group.

The 35,474-square-foot memory care facility is one of the largest in Florida and sold for $120,339 per unit, $73,250 per bed.

Bristol Court was specially designed by health care experts to focus on safety and security, while promoting maximum independence. Although most assisted living facilities include a small memory care component, Bristol Court is focused entirely on caring for residents with memory loss due to normal aging, Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia.

“Our biggest challenge for this transaction was locating the right buyer for this size of a memory care facility,” said Ken Carriero. “Most assisted living facilities offer memory care to about 20 percent of the residents, while Bristol Court focuses entirely on providing memory care.”

Bristol Court is located at 3479 54th Ave. N in St. Petersburg, Fla.

IPA Facilitates Sale of $20.9 Million Cypress Village Apartments in Buena Park, CA


Stewart I. Weston
BUENA PARK, CA, July 29, 2015 – Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap specializing in serving institutional and major private real estate investors, is pleased to announce the sale of a multifamily property located at 6343 Lincoln Avenue in Buena Park, Calif.

The sales price for the 88-unit property was $20.9 million, which equates to $237,500 per unit.

            Stewart I. Weston, Alexander Garcia, and Christopher Zorbas, IPA senior directors, along with IPA associate directors, David Sperling and John Montakab, advised the seller, NNC Apartment Ventures LLC, and an institutional investor.

            “The Orange County apartment market is projected to be one of the best-performing markets throughout the country during the next few years, and more specifically, the Cypress/Buena Park submarket has remarkably strong fundamentals due to its central location with respect to major employment centers,” says Weston.   

            “With its varied amenity package and unique physical plan, Cypress Village already represents a highly desirable asset in Orange County,” says Garcia.

Alexander Garcia
            The low-density community of 17.25 units per acre creates a tranquil setting for a multifamily community – the residences are situated in 22 buildings, with half of the units only sharing one common wall. 

All single story, two-bedroom/two-bathroom floor plans average 920 square feet and 36-units feature direct access to assigned covered parking.

            “The property is in excellent physical condition benefiting from recent extensive capital improvements including renovated leasing office, upgraded landscaping, select interior enhancements, storage lockers and new signage,” adds Zorbas.

 Cypress Village was built in 1962 and has a full complement of common area facilities including a swimming pool, a clubhouse, a fully equipped fitness center, laundry facilities, a barbecue area and storage facilities. 

Additionally, as the asset is located on an expansive lot, there is an option to redevelop the land in a future market cycle.

Charles Dunn Company Completes $4.9 Million Sale of 32-Unit Multifamily Property in Koreatown Neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA


Janet Neman
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 29, 2015 – Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the western United States, has completed the $4.9 million sale of a non-rent controlled, 32-unit multifamily property located at 932 Irolo St. in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Janet Neman, senior managing director, and Bryan Glenn, senior director, of Charles Dunn Company represented buyer, Engine Real Estate, LLC from Los Angeles, as well as the seller, a private investor from Beverly Hills. The closing cap rate was 5.5 percent.

Built in 1927 in Art Deco design, the property was 97 percent occupied at the close of escrow and includes 24 studio units and eight one-bedroom units. On-site amenities include upgraded units and common areas, laundry room, secured access, and an intercom system.

Bryan Glenn
“The seller decided to add value by fully renovating the asset in order to maximize value and buyer attention,” said Neman. “The buyer plans to make some small improvements that include providing additional amenities, and improving overall property management and operations of this vintage property.”

With its central location close to Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Mid-City, Koreatown continues to experience strong rental growth, investment demand, and an influx of renters seeking renovated, high-end apartments.

“932 Irolo is a very unique asset because of its non-rent controlled status despite its 1920s vintage,” noted Glenn. “This transaction was a perfect example of maximizing the potential for multifamily units in Koreatown through repositioning and high-end renovations to attract quality tenants at great rental rates and ultimately a strong sale price.” 

Glenn added that the Charles Dunn team received multiple offers very quickly and selected the buyer based on the strength of its offer, experience, and qualifications.

The asset is located in the amenity-rich heart of Koreatown north of Olympic Boulevard, south of 8th Street and just east of Western Avenue. It is adjacent to the Seoul International Park and is walking distance to the purple line Metro stop at Wilshire / Normandie, as well as the Robert F. Kennedy Schools.
