34 Berry is near the L subway line, just one stop from Manhattan. The building was completed in 2010. Its seven stories have a mix of studio, one- and two- bedroom units that range from 463 to 1,168 square feet. Amenities include a 24-hour concierge service, a fitness center, and top floor lounge with a catering kitchen and billiards table. The property is currently 100 percent leased.

Marcus & Millichap negotiates $23.1M Inland Empire sale
San Moreno, Calif.—Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services has brokered the sale of El Dorado Pointe, a 330-unit community in the Moreno Valley, for $23.1 million. The sales price represents $69,924 per unit and $81 per square foot. The property is located north of Route 60 at the Pigeon Pass Road exit in San Moreno. Alexander Garcia, senior vice president of investments, and Steven Hsu, vice president of investments represented the buyer, a private investor.
“The previous owner purchased the note on El Dorado Pointe and took title to the property through foreclosure,” says Garcia. “Much work was put in to stabilize the property before the seller, a global investment management firm, returned the property to the market. The buyer obtained an attractive bridge loan to finance the purchase.”
El Dorado Pointe was built in 1986 and sits on 16.9 acres. The property received renovations in 2007 and 2008. The unit mix features 150 one-bedroom units and 180 two-bedroom units.
