“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.”
