Avanath Capital Management has teamed up with Registered Investment Adviser to acquire River Run Senior, a 360-unit affordable, age-restricted community in Corona, Calif. Steadfast Cos. sold the garden-style community for $65.1 million, public records show.
River Run Senior traded for the first time since its 2004 completion. The property was developed with financing through 4 percent low-income housing tax credits and tax-exempt bonds. The buyers financed the acquisition with a $39.1 million Fannie Mae loan originated by Greystone. The mortgage is structured with a fixed interest rate across its 10-year maturity period along with a 30-year amortization schedule. The loan includes interest-only payments throughout the term.
The new owners plan several building infrastructure upgrades, including updating the building security system.
Avanath Communities Inc. will take over operations at the property serving residents 55 and over. With the current purchase, the company has 2,187 units under management in Southern California and owns an 11-property portfolio in the region.

The senior housing property features a business and a community center, a heated swimming pool with a sun deck, along with laundry facilities for each building.
