Cerritos Apartments, 765 Cerritos Avenue, Downtown Long Beach, CA
 
LONG BEACH, CA – Stepp Commercial, the leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Long Beach market, has completed the $3 million sale of a 20-unit property located at 765 Cerritos Avenue in Downtown Long Beach. 

Robert Stepp
Robert Stepp, principal with Stepp Commercial, represented the seller, Pacific Palisades, Calif.-based 765 Cerritos LLC, as well as the buyer, a private investor from Egypt. The property closed at a 5.81 percent cap rate.

Built in 1963 the property offers a central courtyard and includes two, three-bedroom units; 14, two-bedroom units; and four, one-bedroom units with sizes ranging from 670 square feet to 1,100 square feet. 

All the units were recently renovated to include custom cabinetry, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and ceramic tile flooring.

The seller had just completed a major renovation of every unit in the property when he approached Stepp Commercial about listing it. 

Having taken out a renovation loan from the City of Long Beach, rents on several units were frozen for the next 24 months. He was concerned about finding a suitable buyer willing to take on the property with the rent restrictions.

“We assured the seller that we would be able to find a buyer who understood the rental situation,” said Stepp. “We identified a buyer after just two weeks of marketing the property and were able to secure a price very close to the asking price. Newly renovated, well-located properties such as this one are in high demand.”

Lincoln Harris and Chartwell Property Group Acquire 19.55 Acres of Land for 71,000-Square-Foot Retail Development in Southern Pines, North Carolina


David Connor
RALEIGH, N.C. (May 15, 2015) — A joint venture between Lincoln Harris and Chartwell Property Group has acquired 19.55 acres in Southern Pines, North Carolina, to develop Morganton Park South, a 71,000-square-foot retail center at 2482 Morganton Road. 

Completion of the center is slated for the summer of 2016.

Morganton Park South is uniquely positioned to serve Southern Pines, Pinehurst and Aberdeen. 

Part of the 188-acre Morganton Park master-planned community, Morganton Park South will be the first phase of development on the south side of Morganton Road. 

Morganton Park South is adjacent to established retailers including Kohl’s, ULTA, Hobby Lobby and the Sandhills Stadium 10 movie theater. 

“With a fantastic location convenient to downtown Southern Pines and Pinehurst, and with more than 16,000 vehicles passing by each day, we believe Morganton Park South will be very successful,” says David Connor of Lincoln Harris.

“We anticipate the available space will lease quickly to high-quality tenants. We are excited to have Lowes Foods anchor the project, especially given their recent rebranding campaign. Their new store concept provides an enjoyable shopping experience on par with, if not better than, any grocer operating in the Carolinas today.”

A 50,000-square-foot Lowes Foods will anchor Morganton Park South, with an additional 21,000 square feet available for other tenants. Three outparcels are available as well.
