By Anuradha Kher, Online News EditorOceanside, Calif.–The Hoffman Co. recently closed a $30 million real estate transaction in Oceanside, Calif. that will allow Piazza d’Oro, a residential mixed-use project, to move forward.The property, located north of Highway 78 at Rancho Del Oro Road and Vista Way, was acquired by ConAm Group of Cos., a San Diego-based real estate management and investment firm specializing in multifamily housing. The seller was K. Hovnanian Homes, a national homebuilder that partially developed the 14.4-acre property, which includes 221 multifamily residential units with commercial office space and retail elements.“This is a great property with substantial improvements in the ground,” says Justin Esayian of The Hoffman Co., who brokered the deal. “K. Hovnanian was going to market it as for-sale condos until the housing market shifted. Now it doesn’t make sense and they wanted to sell it, so this is a win-win situation.”The property was particularly attractive to ConAm because it already is entitled and partially built. “Yes, the real estate market is uncertain right now, but this is a smart time to pick off the best properties at a price we haven’t seen in years,” Esayian says.  The original plan for the residential component was for-sale condominiums, he says, but ConAm intends to complete construction and market the units as rental units, at least for the short term.
