TODAY’S DEALS: Western National Acquires Allure Apartments for $38.1M

Camarillo, Calif.—Western National Realty Advisors has acquired a 165-unit apartment community in Camarillo, Calif., which was renamed “Allure at Camarillo.” The property was purchased from a Los Angeles based pension fund advisor for $38.1 million through Western National Realty Fund II LP.

“This property was of interest to our firm because it is a core property, fairly new construction and is located in a market with high barriers to entry for competing properties,” says Rex DeLong, president of Western National Realty Advisors. “Camarillo provides a relaxed coastal lifestyle, yet residents have easy access to employment centers in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley just over the hill.”

Developed in 2003, Allure was 95 percent occupied at closing. The community consists of one- and two-bedroom floor plans that range up to 1,043 square feet. Amenities include a pool, outdoor fireplace, gated entry and covered parking.

Dean Zander and Vince Norris of Hendricks & Partners represented the seller. Western National represented itself.
