Long Beach, CA – October 3, 2018 – UC Funds, a vertically-integrated commercial real estate specialty finance firm, announced the closing of an $8 million first mortgage loan for a 34-unit multifamily property in Long Beach, California. The loan will fund large-scale renovations and upgrades for the property and individual units.
The asset, consisting of two adjacent two-story buildings, was built in 1961. Amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, laundry room, and 29 covered and open parking spaces for residents and guests.
“The Long Beach transaction represents UC Funds’ continued expansion on the West Coast of the US. This is an extremely robust and active real estate market, with investors spending nearly $1 billion in the past year in the multifamily market, far outpacing all other regions in the greater Los Angeles area,” said Cathy Oniffrey, Managing Director of UC Funds. “This closing has allowed us to continue our footprint while maintaining our high standard of speed and flexibility. We plan on developing significantly more deals in this market in the near future.”
The Long Beach property is expected to attract young professionals working in surrounding urban areas seeking luxury housing that fits their budget and offers a convenient commute. The overcrowding, housing shortages and exorbitant costs of neighboring cities like Los Angeles City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica, have led home-buyers and renters to consider Long Beach as an affordable and convenient alternative.
