Loan Assumptions on Six Apartments in Los Angeles Area Close

A corporate fiduciary acting on behalf of an LLC has closed on a six-property L.A. County multi-housing portfolio in three separate transactions totaling $53.55 million. The apartment complexes were located at 3596 Centinela, 14311-14319 Dickens St., 12314 Moorpark, 4144 Tujunga, 12207 Riverside and 12225 Riverside, five of which were in the San Fernando Valley, and one located in West Los Angeles. The six low-rise apartment communities total 155 residential units.

12314 Moorpark, located in Sherman Oaks, features 26 units and closed as a single-asset sale. Situated in Valley Village, the 19-unit 12207 Riverside and the 27-unit 12225 Riverside sit in the Valley Village submarket and closed together as a sub portfolio. The 23-unit 3596 Centinela, the 40-unit 14311-14319 Dickens and the 20-unit 4144 Tujunga are located in the West Los Angeles, Studio City and Sherman Oaks submarkets.

While all three properties were part of the same submarket, 3596 Centinela closed separately from the properties with the same buyer.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Peter Yorck and Director Nick Lavin, while Senior Managing Director Jeff Sause and Director Max Mraz led the JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team.

The acquisitions included accretive assumable debt placed on all six properties by JLL in 2020, which was positively received by potential buyers given today’s volatile debt market. JLL presented a flexible offering to the market, with the option to acquire single assets, sub-portfolios or the entire portfolio. All three buyers assumed the existing debt, working with the JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team in order to facilitate the transaction.
