Phoenix Realty Group buys 220-unit community in L.A.
Los Angeles—Phoenix Realty Group has purchased the Pine Club Apartments in eastern Los Angeles. The 220-unit property carried a price tag of $23 million. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Los Angeles thanks to the community’s close proximity to Interstate 10 and the Metrolink commuter rail station.
“We have a strong outlook for the Southern California rental markets in and around the greater Los Angeles area,” says Edward Ratinoff, managing director and head of national acquisitions at Phoenix Realty Group. “In the past year we have made several opportune investments in the region, acquiring nine communities representing more than 1,700 apartments that are affordable to middle-income residents.”
Community amenities at the Pine Club Apartments include a pool, spa, tennis courts, fitness center, and picnic areas. The property had an existing Fannie Mae adjustable loan that was converted at closing to a fixed-rate mortgage for seven years at 4.5 percent. Phoenix plans to invest $1 million into the community over the next six months to update existing amenities and improve operations.
