LOS ANGELES, CA (Jan. 21, 2015) – Raintree Partners, a Laguna Niguel, Calif.-based real estate investment and development company, has completed the acquisition of a five property multifamily portfolio totaling 327 units and located in A locations within Los Angeles County, Calif., according to Jeff Allen, CEO of Raintree Partners.

The acquisition includes Pico Lanai Apartments, a 174-unit community in Santa Monica, Calif., and the Westwood Apartments, a portfolio of four properties totaling 153 units, located in the Westwood Village area of Los Angeles, adjacent to UCLA. 

Greg Reed and Kristen Croxton of Capital One Multifamily Finance arranged Fannie Mae loans on the entire portfolio.

“This portfolio acquisition is in line with Raintree Partners’ investment strategy of acquiring infill, urban properties, with ample value-add opportunity, in great locations in the Los Angeles market,” explained Allen. 

“This latest acquisition adds to our growing Southern California property portfolio, which now includes 21 multifamily communities, eight of which were purchased within the last 10 months.”

In addition to the recently acquired five property portfolio, Raintree Partners acquired three additional apartment communities in Los Angeles in 2014, these acquisitions include:

·         Coldwater Canyon, a 39-unit property in Studio City, Calif. acquired in September 2014.
 ·         5119 Maplewood, a 60-unit property in Hancock Park, Calif. acquired in April 2014.
 ·         5015 Clinton, a 50-unit property in Hancock Park, Calif. acquired in April 2014.
  
Raintree’s Director of Acquisitions, Aaron Hancock, explains, “The acquisition of these five properties in addition to the three acquired earlier in the year represents the continued rollout of our investment strategy, which targets smaller properties in A locations within Los Angeles that can be clustered over time.

“As we gain critical mass in these targeted sub-markets, we will be able to achieve management efficiencies which should lead to higher returns than investing in larger properties in the same sub-markets, which tend to trade at more aggressive cap rates.”
