Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has acquired the “Newhope Village,” apartments adding to its 12,000+ unit portfolio in Southern California. “Newhope Village fits perfectly with our surrounding properties, we now have over 1,750 units in the City of Santa Ana” said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “This creates even more efficiencies with management and renovations.” Advanced plans for significant renovations and upgrades to the property, including the addition of in-unit washer and dryers, new cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, appliances, windows and a modern paint scheme. These upgrades will be completed by Advanced’s in-house construction company, R3 Construction and in-house property management company, Advanced Management Company. The gated, podium-style property features a host of amenities including pool, fitness center and tot-lot. This is the second acquisition for Advanced’s newest Opportunity Fund (Advanced Fund 24-3). They purchased “The Cove” last month, a 138-unit property in West Covina and they plan multiple other Southern California apartment acquisitions in the coming year. “We were able to acquire this property through a 721 contribution which allowed a tax-deferred transaction for the family who owned it. They are now partners in our Fund and diversified amongst the other assets” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. Advanced’s investment offerings are open to their “friends and family” network which has now grown to over 1,000 investors. “We are always open to welcoming new investors either through cash and retirement investments, or through a contribution of their property, like in this case with Newhope Village” continued Rick Julian. Advanced retired a $9.5 million HUD loan and ultimately plans to place debt on the property providing even more capital to its $100 million+ Fund. About Advanced Real Estate (Advanced) Advanced was formed in 1981 and currently owns and operates over 12,000 apartment units throughout Southern California with a market value of over $4 billion. Advanced funds their investments with private equity. All property management and renovations are carefully administered through their in-house management and construction arms, Advanced Management Company and R3 Construction Services. This vertically integrated approach allows Advanced to most efficiently execute their business plan of acquiring value-add properties, renovating them to the highest standards, and then effectively managing them for the long term.

Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has paid $41 million to purchase “The Cove at West Covina,” adding to its 12,000+ unit portfolio in Southern California. “The Cove is well-located with large units averaging over 1,000 square feet. It’s rare to find such an attractive unit mix for under $300,000 per unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “West Covina has been a historically strong rental market with abundant retail and employment and very little new competing supply. The last significant new multi-family development was completed over 12 years ago.” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “We see great value in this type of low-density product in the San Gabriel Valley.” Advanced plans for significant renovations and upgrades to the property, including the addition of in-unit washer and dryers, new cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, appliances, windows and a modern paint scheme. These upgrades will be completed by Advanced’s in-house construction company, R3 Construction and in-house property management company, Advanced Management Company. The gated property features a host of amenities including 2 pools with cabanas, fitness center, fire-pits, garages and a large open landscaped area. This is the first purchase for Advanced’s new Opportunity Fund (Advanced Fund 24-3). They plan multiple other Southern California apartment acquisitions in the coming year. Advanced’s investment offerings are open to their “friends and family” network which has now grown to over 1,000 investors. “We have a unique tax-efficient structure allowing investors to use their trapped retirement funds for the bulk of their investment and leverage a smaller personal contribution of cash,” continued Rick Julian. “We are always open to welcoming new investors.” Advanced assumed a $21 million, Freddie Mac Loan, with a fixed interest rate of 4.75%, and full-term interest-only payments. The sale was brokered by Shane Shafer, previously of Northmarq and now with Colliers.

Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has added another major multi-family asset to its growing portfolio. Canvas LA, a 210-unit property that sits along the 110 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was purchased for approximately $62 million. “It’s rare to find such a well-built, podium property like this, for under $300,000 a unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “We haven’t seen that kind of pricing in over a decade.” “The property has an ideal location across the street from Vista Hermosa Park. It’s only a 10-minute walk to all the cultural attractions of Bunker Hill including the Broad Museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorthy Chandler and Ahmanson Theater” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “Trendy Echo Park, is also just over a mile away.” Advanced plans only light renovations at the property as the previous owner had invested over $3 million into upgrades after purchasing it in 2018. The property features a host of unique amenities including a resort-style pool with cabanas, large gym with separate cardio studio, game room, conference and office space, screening room, and sky deck with fire-pit. This was the final purchase for Advanced’s most recent acquisition Fund. That Fund also purchased Edison Long Beach, a 156-unit luxury residential high-rise, the 264-unit Surf House Apartments in Huntington Beach and the 714-unit The Grand Costa Mesa. These recent purchases made Advanced the largest buyer of apartments in Southern California in 2023. “We are long-term holders and wanted to seize this low-basis opportunity. We see a bright future for Los Angeles with the upcoming 2028 Olympics” added the Julians. Advanced will now kick off a new Fund which will be open to their “friends and family” investors and looks to continue to strategically increase its current portfolio of over 12,000 units in Southern California. “Our investor base of over 1,000 families continues to grow as we find great opportunities such as Canvas”, continued Rick Julian. The sale was brokered by Blake Rogers, Kevin Sheehan, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chelsea Jervis, CJ Angle, Alexandra Caniglia, and Kip Malo of JLL Capital Markets. Advanced procured a $39,975,000 Freddie Mac loan, at a fixed interest-rate of 5.12% for 7 years, with full-term interest-only payments. Kevin MacKenzie, Greg Brown, Charlie Vorsheck, also of JLL Capital Markets arranged the financing.
