Trion snags a distressed 20-unit property in L.A.’s Highland Park
Los Angeles—Trion Properties has acquired a 20-unit property at 225 N. Avenue 53 in Los Angeles.

225 N. Avenue 53 was built in 1991 and is located one block north of N. Figueroa Street. Trion plans to renovate the property and then sell it as a stabilized asset. Trion has closed over $100 million in transactions since its founding in 2005.
HFF arranges $4.48M Fannie Mae acquisition financing in value-add transaction
Wilmington, Calif.–HFF arranged $4.48 million in financing for Lagoon Terrace Apartments, a 62-unit multi-housing community in Wilmington (Long Beach), Calif.
