San Marcos, Calif.—Dornin Investment Group has purchased a 122-unit age restricted apartment community located in San Marcos, Calif. The property, Royal Oaks Senior Apartments, was developed in 2003 and caters to residents 55 and older. The asset is also slated as an affordable housing project and dedicates 10 percent of the units to residents earning 50 percent or less of the area median income.

AIG sells three New Jersey assets
Nutley, N.J.—AIG Global Investment Group has sold a three-property portfolio located in Nutley, N.J. The 126-unit offering was picked up by Balt Investments LLC for $15 million. Holliday Fenoglio Fowler closed the sale and arranged financing for the transaction.
“The buyer was able to capitalize on an opportunity to purchase quality assets in Nutley with upside, where he already owned real estate so there are economics of scale,” says Jose Cruz, a senior managing director at HFF. “AIG obtained solid pricing and was able to take advantage of a strong demand for that submarket.”
The portfolio was 94 percent leased at the time of sale. The three properties—Grelock Apartments, Lincoln Apartments and Ambassador Apartments—were the second pool of assets HFF has sold for AIG Global Investment Group. In July 2011 the firm closed a $241.5 million sale of a 2,185-unit portfolio in central New Jersey.
