Four of the top multifamily investment sales of May in L.A. County
There was no doubt about which deal led Los Angeles County’s top five multifamily investment sales in May.
Through its Opportunity Zone fund, Starwood Capital Group paid $110-million for a 375-unit mixed-use development in San Pedro. That amount nearly matched the top five multifamily investment sales in April, which combined for $114 million. As the only property on the list in May located in an Opportunity Zone, Starwood’s long-term investors expect to benefit from significant tax breaks.
Overall, the top five multifamily deals were spread out last month, from Tarzana to the northwest, down to the southern tip in San Pedro, and to the city of Bellflower in the southeast.
The Real Deal compiled the list based off property records from PropertyShark, as well as business registration records.
550 S. Palos Verdes Street — Starwood Capital Group | $110 million
Starwood used its $500 million Opportunity Zone fund to buy into a 375-unit mixed-use development in downtown San Pedro. The deal teamed the company with Holland Partners. The seven-story project is called 550 Harborfront. Holland Partners purchased the 2.5-acre site in 2017 for $24.5 million. The development is expected to be completed next year with 5,000 square feet of commercial space.
616 Esplande — IDEAL Capital Group; Aegon Real Assets | $53.5 million

The price was $53.5 million, and the new owners plan to redevelop the 105-unit property at 616 Esplande. About 80 percent of the units had been vacated from the 82,200-square-foot complex at the time of sale, after it suffered water damage last October. Stockbridge paid $50 million for the property in 2015.
