Southern California LIHTC property sells for $23.4M

Escondido, Calif.—The Tax Credit Group of Marcus & Millichap, the country’s market leader in Section 42 property sales with nearly $4 billion of LIHTC product closed, has arranged the sale of The Terraces, a 190-unit apartment community located just north of San Diego in Escondido, Calif. The sales price of $23.4 million equates to $123,158 per unit and $146 per square foot.

Jeff Kunitz, a senior director of the Tax Credit Group and Raymond Choi, a vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s San Diego office, represented the seller, Escondido Terraces LC with Affirmed Housing Group as its managing general partner.
