Leader in multifamily, retail, and office investment transactions closes major deal on fully-leased apartment complex in Marin County
MILL VALLEY, CA – June 13, 2019 – NAI Northern California is pleased to announce the sale of Central Valley Homes Apartments, a 24-unit project constructed in 1988 and offered for the first time in 2019. Joby Tapia represented the Seller in the transaction, and said that despite “some tremendously difficult challenges,” they were able to successfully close the transaction at the $18,000,000 asking rate with multiple offers and ongoing construction during escrow.
Among the obstacles he encountered was a water intrusion event, which added substantial complexity to the deal, as well as having to organize multiple bids and contracts with several vendors and maintain insurance compliance throughout the process. The effort was well-rewarded, though, as the Seller wrote affectionately of Mr. Tapia’s “excellent service to Central Valley Homes, not just for the sale … but also for [his] advice and expertise on countless property management issues.”
Central Valley Homes Apartments consisted of 24 three-bedroom units with individual APNs and significant upside on the rents, as well as potential condo exit. One-third of the units were highly refurbished and attracted rents approaching $3.00/SF, while the remaining units offered investors the opportunity to continue a value-add strategy that allowed for $1,000+ rental increases per un-renovated unit.
