Zach Koucos

SAN DIEGO, CA – HFF announced  that it has secured $15 million in financing for Mobil Country Club, a 479-unit, senior (55+) manufactured home community in Rancho Cordova, California.

                Working exclusively on behalf of Country Club Investors, LP and Storz Management Company (SMC), HFF placed the 15-year, fixed-rate, 30-year amortization loan with Voya Investment Management (formerly ING).  Proceeds will be used to retire existing debt on the property and for capital reserves.

                Mobil Country Club is situated on a 54.6-acre site at 2473 Sunrise Boulevard, approximately 10 minutes east of downtown Sacramento. 

Completed in three phases, the community is 99.2-percent occupied and includes off-street and guest parking, as well as 110 RV/boat storage spaces.  Community amenities include a heated swimming pool, clubhouse, billiard room, library, sauna and enclosed spa.

                The HFF team representing the borrower was led by director Zach Koucos.  HFF worked directly with SMC’s CFO Mark Weiner and president Andy Carey on the transaction.

                “Our life insurance company correspondents are very aggressive right now for long-term, fixed-rate loans on high quality multi-housing properties such as Mobil Country Club.  Many of our clients with long-term hold objectives are taking advantage of today’s unique recapitalization opportunities,” Koucos said.

“I have worked with many lending institutions and intermediaries on transactions of various sizes, and my recent experience with HFF was by far one of the best,” Weiner said.

Charles Dunn Co. Completes 19,653-Square-Foot Lease with USC at World Trade Center in Downtown Los Angeles, CA

Chris Runyen

LOS ANGELES, CA, Sept. 29, 2014 – Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the western United States, has completed a four-year, 19,653-square-foot lease with University of Southern California (USC) for expansion of its charter school.

The space is within the World Trade Center, a 370,000-square-foot, 10-story office building located at 350 S. Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles.

Chris Runyen, senior managing director with Charles Dunn Company, represented the landlord, Jamison Properties. USC was represented by Dennis Smith, Howard Feuerstein, and Cory Campbell of Travers Realty.

With this new lease, USC is expanding its presence by nearly doubling its space within the property, and has brought World Trade Center’s occupancy up to 74 percent.

“This was an expansion of USC's Hybrid High School that has a total of 20,000 square feet on the ground floor,” said Runyen.

World Trade Center, Los Angeles, CA

“The ground floor space serves as classrooms and administrative offices for the freshman and sophomore classes. 

"This new space is located on the second floor and will provide additional classrooms for those students advancing to their junior and senior years.

“The school made some minor renovations to its new space – that was previously used for education purposes – in time to take occupancy for the 2014/2015 school year.”

Runyen added that Charles Dunn aggressively marketed the space to schools, emphasizing that they could take advantage of the existing E-1 occupancy required by charter schools. 

World Trade Center occupies the entire block of Figueroa to Flower Streets and 3rd to 4th Streets. It is adjacent to the Ketchum YMCA, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Downtown Hyatt and is a short walk to numerous dining and retail amenities.
