The Veranda Apartment Homes

Fullerton, Calif.—The Bascom Group LLC has acquired Veranda Apartment Homes, a 128-unit community located in Fullerton, Calif. The transaction was valued at $20.4 million. The property was sold by Fifth Street Partners & Angelo Gordon. CBRE Group Inc. worked to arrange financing for the acquisition. Veranda Apartment Homes represents Bascom’s tenth acquisition in the past 18 months.

“We just don’t see many opportunities to buy major multifamily properties in Orange County,” says Chad Sanderson, principal at Bascom. “Given the spread between current rents and the rents of some of the newer properties in the area, we see a clear opportunity to build on the foundation laid by the seller. We have a renovation plan to invest additional capital into interior upgrades along with exteriors, additional amenities, and interior courtyards.”

Veranda Apartment Homes was built in 1985, and consists of nine buildings and structured parking. The asset is comprised of 84 percent two-bedroom units.
