“Although Sam Clar hasn’t missed a beat since the fire forced them to operate out of a different facility over the past couple years, it’s exciting for the company to return to this space that has been completely rebuilt to meet the needs of their customers and employees,” said Gary Drew, Regional Vice President of Ware Malcomb’s Pleasanton office. 

“This family-owned company can look forward to many more generations working out of their new, state-of-the-art corporate office and showroom.”

Jerome Henin

Tavares, FL - Henin Group, developer of the award-winning Riviera Bella luxury riverfront community in DeBary, has secured 34+/- acres located off David Walker Drive in Tavares to develop Stokes Groves, a single-family home community with 115 homes.

Jerome Henin, president said the land under contract with Stokes Groves of Eustis, Inc. has undergone traffic studies this year, has been rezoned and received PSP (Preliminary Subdivision Plan) approvals before now proceeding with final engineering construction permits.

Riviera Bella community, DeBary, FL

Henin engaged engineers Booth Ern Straughan & Hiott (BESH) of Tavares for the preliminary work, and he anticipates infrastructure and site development could begin by Q2 of 2020. 

Up to 115 homesites in 60-foot widths are proposed for the subdivision including 10 waterfront lots on Lake Elsie .

Three and four-bedroom single-family homes in Stokes Groves ranging from approximately 1,800 to 2,200 square feet of living area will be built by Henin Homes and/or another preferred builder to be selected.

“We’ve been waiting for the right opportunity in Lake County ,” Henin said.  “The demographic of homebuyers moving into this growing area is well suited for the product we will be offering.” 

Lake Elsie, Tavares, FL

Homes at Stokes Groves will be designed for first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers who need more space and empty nesters.   Among amenities featured at the community will be access to Lake Elsie .

Tavares is home to seven recreational and nature lover parks and the largest one - Wooten Park , which features regular events - is just minutes from Stokes Groves.

Easy access to the 429 Expressway, US 441, and SR 46, gives Stokes Groves residents proximity to everything Orlando and Central Florida have to offer.  “The access and capacity of the roads in and out of Tavares is great and homeowners will be 30-40 minutes from Orlando ,” Henin explained.

Trion Properties Grows Portfolio in Bay Area with Acquisition of 84-Unit Multifamily Community in Newark, CA

The Meadows, an 84-unit multifamily community, 
35750 Bettencourt Street, Newark, CA

Newark, CA – Trion Properties, a private equity real estate firm that specializes in multifamily investments in western markets, has expanded its Bay Area portfolio with the acquisition of The Meadows, an 84-unit multifamily community located in Newark, California for $27.5 million.

Max Sharkansky

South East Bay cities have benefited from a Silicon Valley spillover, and the region is experiencing unprecedented population growth and employment boom, according to Max Sharkansky, Managing Partner at Trion Properties.

 “Newark has become one of the fastest-growing cities for top tech businesses to either expand or relocate,” explains Sharkansky. 

“With Facebook recently announcing that it will be leasing nearly 1.5 million square feet within two miles of The Meadows, the area is positioned for further growth and resident demand. 

"The asset fits into our investment strategy seamlessly, based on the strong location and potential for upgrades to enhance the quality of this product.”

Along with Facebook, Tesla, Amazon, HP, Sysco, Boston Scientific, Logitech, and other major firms have offices in the immediate neighborhood.

Sharkansky also notes that while Newark has experienced significant growth in the recent years, the average rental rates remain an attractive value alternative to many neighboring Bay Area cities, which will continue to drive potential renters to the city.

Andrew Lucas

“We immediately recognized the long-term appeal of this property to residents across demographics,” explains Andrew Lucas, Director of Capital Markets at Trion Properties. 

“The Meadows is strategically situated between Oakland and San Jose, with close proximity to other major cities including Palo Alto and San Francisco, offering prime access to jobs and social activities. The apartment community is also located near excellent area schools, adding to its desirability.”

The property, built in 1966, will undergo extensive renovations and a rebranding, according to Farhan Mahmood, Managing Director, Acquisitions at Trion Properties.

“This acquisition is an opportunity to implement our proven value-add renovation strategies to modernize the community and bring rents up to market,” states Mahmood. 

“We will leverage our experience in the East Bay and current portfolio, including multifamily properties in Fremont, San Leandro, and Hayward, to optimize the asset’s appeal and efficiencies.”

The Meadows features a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, all with private patios or balconies and walk-in closets.

Farhan Mahmood

According to Mahmood, Trion Properties plans to makeover units with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, vinyl plank flooring, new cabinetry, Bluetooth locks, upgraded bathroom vanities, and in-unit washers and dryers. Exterior upgrades will include landscaping and new signage to reflect the rebranding.

            The Newark Community Center Park and Lakeshore Park are easily accessible to the property and offer walking trails, picnic areas, and tennis courts for public use.

 Further, The Meadows is located within a 15-minute walk of a Sprouts, plus several other local retailers and restaurants.

America’s Favorite Baby-Boomer Model: Cheryl Tiegs’ Beautiful Home on the Market for $18.5 Million

The 4,770-square-foot house in Bel Air, CA has five bedrooms and  five baths

Cheryl Tiegs

BEL AIR, CA -- Cheryl Tiegs was America’s favorite model in the 1970s and ‘80s as the three-time cover girl for Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues, four-time covers on People and three times at Time.

Her ‘70’s posters in a white fishnet bathing suit and then her pink bikini photo solidified her role as America’s first baby-boomer supermodel.

 Almost as beautiful as Cheryl, her Balinese-style Bel Air home is for sale at $18.5 million, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

Alphonzo Bell Sr.

Tiegs’ enclave is situated on 1.43 lush acres behind gates that open to a long drive giving privacy and entrance into something that feels much more like the deep tropics than suburban Los Angeles.

Perched on a promontory with 180-degree views, it is awash in palm trees, huge Monstera vines and tropical flowers throughout the home’s landscape and pathways.

Jennifer Aniston

 The house itself is a study in bold natural elements, textures and colors from fabrics, floors, dark-wood beams, glass walls opening to vegetation and stunning views.

Jay-Z 

The 4,770-square-foot house has five bedrooms, five baths, chef’s kitchen with large butcher block island, huge open spaces for entertaining both inside and out, a wine cellar, pool, guest house and three-car garage.

Cheryl began modeling when she was 17 appearing on the covers of Glamour, Seventeen and Elle.

Beyonce

 Her fresh-faced beauty inspired teenaged girls and young women to buy her beauty book, The Way to Natural Beauty, in the hope that they would discover some wonderful secret that would turn them into glamour girls too.

Ahead of her time and a natural entrepreneur, Cheryl was noted for being first at many things we take for granted today including the first model to start a signature line of clothing and accessories, which were sold exclusively at Sears.

Tiffany Mills 

During the 10-year life of that business, almost a billion dollars of her merchandise was sold.

With her modeling career taking her all over the world, Cheryl was able to pick from her own experiences how she wanted to live.

When it came time to buy her own home, she found solace and inspiration in the Balinese way of life and duplicated that environment in her own Southern California home.

Bel Air was originally developed in the 1920s by oilman and tennis-champion Alphonzo Bell Sr. intended as something similar to Beverly Hills but without the celebrities.

Jade Mills

 Despite Alphonzo’s plans, celebrities who now make Bel Air home include Cheryl, Jennifer Aniston, Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Also not far from Cheryl’s home is a 1930’s Bel Air estate that is the most expensive home currently for sale in the United States at $225 million.

Jade Mills and Tiffany Mills of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, Beverly Hills are the listing agents for the Tiegs property.
