 LONG BEACH, CA– Stepp Commercial, the leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Long Beach market, has completed two apartment property sales to a single 1031 exchange buyer, Northpoint Realty.

The assets, which are situated across the street from each other in the Eastside/Circle area of Long Beach by Temple Avenue, sold for a total of $4.33 million and nearly $155,000 per unit.

“Stepp Commercial worked in conjunction with two different sellers of similar, courtyard-style apartment properties on the same street,” said Robert Stepp, principal with Stepp Commercial. “We advised the sellers to list both assets at the same time with the strategy of attracting a 1031 exchange buyer, which is exactly what happened.”

Michael Toveg, senior vice-president with Stepp Commercial added: “Ultimately, we successfully closed escrow on the two properties and garnered a sale price of $246 per square foot. That is one of the highest prices ever paid for comparable apartment assets in the surrounding area.”
