HFF secures $13.33 million refinancing for Lake Tahoe boutique resort hotel in South Lake Tahoe, CA

Beach Retreat & Lodge, South Lake Tahoe, CA

IRVINE, CA, July 30, 2015 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has secured a $13.33 million refinancing for the Beach Retreat & Lodge, a 262-room, lakefront, boutique resort hotel located in South Lake Tahoe, California.

Chip Sykes

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower’s sponsor, Urbana Realty Advisors, to secure the three-year, floating-rate loan through CapitalSource, a division of Pacific Western Bank.  Loan proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt and provide funds for additional minor capital improvements. 

Beach Retreat & Lodge consists of five buildings and features 500 linear feet of beach front on Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in the U.S. 

The hotel has an outdoor heated pool, 24-hour fitness center, outdoor games and activities, full-sized beach volleyball court and The Beach Club with cabanas, lounge chairs and menu service on the beach. 

Guests have two dining options, The Tavern at Tahoe and The Boathouse, which is located on the longest pier in Lake Tahoe.  Additionally, through an on-site marine operator, guests can rent boats, jet skis and kayaks. 

Renovated in 2012 through 2014, the hotel has completed upgrades to guest rooms, the lobby and restaurant space; constructed an outdoor fire pit and patio area; and completed the Beach Retreat Conference Center, which has in excess of 4,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space with on-site catering and state-of-the-art technology. 

James Fowler

Situated on seven acres at 3411 South Lake Tahoe Boulevard, the hotel is approximately four miles from Lake Tahoe Airport and is 189 miles east of San Francisco and 35 miles west of Reno, Nevada.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director James Fowler and director Chip Sykes.

“Urbana had completed a significant amount of the property renovation when we were asked to procure debt financing,” Fowler said.  “As a result, the property is already seeing the benefit, with strong bookings through the early summer months.  These two factors, along with a great lender in CapitalSource, helped facilitate a smooth execution.”

Apartment Development Along the Atlanta BeltLine Continues to Boom

Ryan Gravel

ATLANTA, GA (July 30, 2015) — The Atlanta BeltLine, the brainchild of Georgia Tech graduate Ryan Gravel, is an ambitious project that aims to connect the core of the city with walkable, bike-friendly paths and eventually public transportation. 

The Eastside Trail connecting Piedmont Park and Krog Street Market opened in 2012, and since then a myriad of multifamily residences have sprung up along the BeltLine, transforming the Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, and Inman Park neighborhoods.

The Atlanta Apartment Association has created a timeline outlining the construction and opening of these properties, as well as the progress the Atlanta BeltLine has made and plans to make in the future. 

It tells the story of how an old rail corridor turned car-free path can bring life to neighborhoods and foster the growth of restaurants, retail, art, and cultural events in the space, thus making it a popular place for renters.

Jim Fowler

It’s no secret that apartments along the BeltLine are highly desirable in the Atlanta market,” said Jim Fowler, President of the Atlanta Apartment Association. “The influx of multifamily development in this area is astounding and will only continue to grow as the BeltLine blossoms over the next several decades.”

By 2030, the 22-mile Beltline loop with paved path and streetcar options will be completed, fostering multifamily growth in a vast array of intown Atlanta neighborhoods.

Jan Boltres

Cocoa, FL (July 30, 2015) – Seeking a long-term investment with the advantages of a net lease property, a private investor recently purchased a Walgreens store in Cocoa, Fla. for $5.35 million. The 15,120-square-foot standalone building sold for $354 per square foot. 

The buyer, SAHM Broadway MGT, LLC, a private investor from Rancho Sante Fe, Calif., was represented by Jan Boltres, CCIM, Managing Director of Industrial Services; and John Jackson, Industrial Services at Colliers International Tampa Bay.

The seller, SDG Cocoa Beach, LLC, was represented by Daniel Corcoran of Marcus & Millichap in New York City.

Net lease properties, where the tenant pays some or all of the taxes, fees and maintenance costs in addition to rent, are rising in popularity among investors, who like the simplicity of owning this type of property.

“The buyer was seeking a net lease property as a long term investment,” said Colliers’ Boltres. “It sold at a cap rate under 6 percent, which is at market value for this type of investment, considering the amount of time that Walgreens had remaining on its lease.”

The Walgreens store, located at 1106 Clearlake Road in Cocoa, is less than four miles from both the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway and I-95.

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.
