Sale of 2394 Road 20 in the East Bay Area by the Ethan Berger Team sets record price per unit

SAN PABLO, CA –  July 16, 2019 –  NAI Northern California is pleased to announce the sale of 2394 Road 20 in San Pablo for $4.495 million, setting a new record for price per unit for San Pablo multifamily properties. The Ethan Berger Team originally represented the seller, a local multifamily private equity group based in the Bay Area, when they purchased the apartment building in June of 2017 as a value-add opportunity in need of significant renovation and improved management. After successfully renovating and rehabbing the property, the units were re-tenanted, yielding nearly a 110% increase in the gross rents. The seller then enlisted the Ethan Berger Team (Ethan Berger, Benjamin Mandel, and Garrett Blair) to determine a value and market the property. They quickly developed multiple competitive offers and identified a buyer, achieving a record-setting price per unit of $249,722 and a total return on investment for the seller of nearly 95%. “After we identified the opportunity, we leveraged our local-market expertise and knowledge to help our client throughout the process of buying the property, improving it, and completing the sale.” said Ethan Berger, Senior Vice President at NAI Northern California. “Our relationships and extensive marketing platform were key in maximizing our client’s ROI.”

2394 Road 20 consists of fifteen large 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartments and three 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartments in a core Bay Area location. A complete renovation of the property and all of the units was completed in 2018. Each unit features laminate-wood flooring throughout the living spaces; brand-new kitchen and bathroom cabinetry; and new countertops, fixtures, and stainless-steel appliance packages. The exterior of the property was also upgraded with new paint, outdoor design features, landscaping, sewer lateral replacement, and parking lot striping. The building has on-site coin-operated laundry and is located within 10 minutes of El Cerrito Del Norte and Richmond BART Stations and less than one mile from Contra Costa College.
