LOS ANGELES, CA - Canyon Capital Realty Advisors’ platform designed to identify and cultivate emerging real estate investment managers, known as the Canyon Catalyst Fund, has closed on an additional two investments with its partner Sack Properties. Both multifamily investments are located in Southern California and were made as part of an expansion in the investment mandate of Sack Properties to include Southern California in addition to their Bay Area target market. The first is an 85-unit townhome style rental community in West Covina and the second, in Upland, is a 136-unit property.
“We are very excited to expand our partnership with the Canyon Catalyst Fund with these Southern California acquisitions” said Kirby Sack, CEO of Sack Properties. “We anticipate announcing additional value-add acquisitions through our partnership in the very near future.”
Located in West Covina, South Hills Apartments sits on 5 acres with excellent access to Interstate 10, and close proximity to two California distinguished schools as well as regional retail and employment centers that serve the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles area. The community includes 20 separate buildings ranging from two to three stories and it has a mix of one, two, and three bedroom flats and large townhome style floor plans. The team’s property improvement program will focus on executing common area and unit interior upgrades. Joe Leon of JLL represented the seller in the transaction.
