“These market factors keep auto-related transactions in the Valley for showrooms, refurbishment operations and even parts distribution very robust,” added Hertzberg.

“With the new Phoenix-Scottsdale location, we are very excited to make our consignment services more accessible for our West Coast customers. 

"Phoenix is a well-established market for collector cars, and this expansion gives Streetside true nationwide reach as we continue to expand our brand into the best markets in the U.S.,” added Streetside President and CEO Donna Robbins.

The new Streetside showroom is located at 614 E. Auto Center Drive in Mesa, Arizona, within the Metro East Valley Commerce Center. 

The 53,739-square-foot building features a high-end environment with state-of-the-art construction, multiple loading doors and a location that is less than one-half mile from U.S. Highway 60/Superstition Freeway and surrounded by multiple major brand auto dealers.

Stepp Commercial Completes $10.55 Million Sale of 56-Unit Long Beach, CA Apartment Portfolio


Robert Stepp
Long Beach, CA - Stepp Commercial, a leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Los Angeles market, has completed the $10.55 million sale of a 56-unit apartment portfolio consisting of three properties in Long Beach, Calif.

Principal Robert Stepp of Stepp Commercial represented the seller, a private investor from Signal Hill, as well as the buyer, Mandek 10 Property Partners, LLC from Corona Del Mar. The portfolio closed at a 4.6 percent cap rate and a price per unit of nearly $189,000.

"This portfolio offered the buyer a solid mix of one- and two-units with rental upside and ample parking," said Stepp. 

"Additionally, this is the downleg for the seller in a 1031 exchange who wanted to sell its smaller assets and trade up into a larger, single, turn-key apartment community for easier property management functions.

“Overall, this increased the seller's cash flow and provided the buyer with a value-add opportunity in a non-rent controlled market."

The three properties include:

*       765 Cerritos Avenue, a 20-unit property built in 1963
*       731 Orange Avenue, a 24-unit property built in 1958
*       933 Alamitos Avenue, a 12-unit property built in 1945
