The acquisition loan, provided by a balance sheet lender, features four years of interest-only payments during the initial term, followed by an extension option.

Decron paid $96 million for the property near the end of July.

Tenants enjoy close proximity to a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as easy access to the 55/405 Freeways and John Wayne Airport . Amenities include three swimming pools, spas, a fitness center and barbeque picnic areas. “Adagio at South Coast is the perfect fit for Decron’s recent focus on repositioning older assets and creating an affordable luxury option for renters in high-cost urban and suburban submarkets adjacent to major employment centers,” said Daniel Nagel, vice president of Finance at Decron. “We call it ‘affordable luxury,’ with a lowercase ‘a,’ because we offer the renter an apartment with luxury finishes in a location they need, amenities they want, at a price point they can afford.” “For generations Decron has achieved unparalleled success providing tenants high quality apartments and lifestyle amenities at an affordable price point,” added Grossman. “Highlighting Decron’s time-tested business plan, as well as their clear vision for the property, enabled this first loan closing between the lender and sponsor to occur successfully in less than five weeks.” Decron Properties serves as one of the premier diversified real estate development firms in the greater Los Angeles area.
