Lindsey Senn
CHICAGO, IL (June 16, 2016) – Fifield Realty Corp., one of the nation’s leading multifamily developers, today announced that Lindsey Senn and Matt Miller have both been promoted to vice presidents of the firm.

“With projects taking us from Los Angeles to Austin and of course many in our hometown of Chicago, this is one of the most active and exciting times in Fifield’s history and it’s an honor to have such driven and esteemed individuals leading the way for us,” said Steve Fifield, president and CEO of Fifield Cos., parent company of Fifield Realty Corp.

Today, one year after completion, the tower is 97 percent leased.

“Lindsey has a deep knowledge and understanding of economics and finance that belie her age, which I relate to as someone who also started in this business at a very young age, and has an equally deep interest in the meaning behind the math,” said Erin Spears, senior vice president of Fifield Cos.

Matt Miller
 “Her commitment to excellence has resulted in significant contributions to our team in a short time, and in turn, we are committed to her success as a real estate professional.” 

Senn is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she earned a bachelor of business administration in real estate and urban land economics, and legal studies. Senn is a member of the Wisconsin Real Estate Alumni Association and Young Real Estate Professionals.

In his role as vice president at Fifield Realty Corp., Matt Miller’s primary responsibilities will continue to include underwriting and financing multifamily projects, as well as asset management for projects in Texas, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Prior to joining Fifield, Miller was a due diligence analyst for the Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, where he underwrote $1 billion of retail and office property acquisitions on behalf of non-traded REITs.

 He earned a Bachelor of Science in finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

“Matt is another rising young professional on our team whose tenacity and expertise has helped Fifield Cos. grow,” said Fifield. “His ability to analyze and assess all of the complex elements of dealmaking also is critical to our team’s success, and I am happy to promote his growth.”

L5 Investments Partnership Completes $11.35 Million Acquisition of 88-Unit Apartment Community in East Bay Submarket of San Francisco


Creekside Village Seniors Housing Community, Pittsburgh, CA

 San Francisco, CA, June 16, 2016 – A partnership between L5 Investments and Equity Consultants Real Estate has acquired Creekside Village, an 88-unit senior housing community in Pittsburgh, CA, a city within the East Bay submarket of San Francisco.

Built in 2003, the non rent-controlled property was acquired for $11.35 million (approximately $129,000 per unit) and was fully occupied at the close of escrow. 

Michael Flaherty
The partnership plans to add value to the asset in order to bring rents up to market rates by embarking on a $600,000 renovation strategy. 

Some of the major improvements include remodeling the leasing center, upgrading interior units, and improving landscaping and other exterior areas, in addition to improving operational functions in order to better cater to the needs of its senior residents.

“We believe Pittsburgh is an ideal Bay Area location for apartment investment due to lack of affordability within downtown San Francisco and other high demand East Bay markets – especially for 55-plus age-restricted communities,” said Michael Flaherty, founder and managing partner of L5  Investments, a Northern California-based multifamily investment firm.

“In addition to the value-add play, Creekside Village provided a number of attractive benefits as it is on the same street as a new BART station, and the property is one of just two age-restricted properties in the area.”

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Bruce Ganong.
