190-unit value-add multi-housing portfolio trades in Silicon Valley

20 July 2023

SAN FRANCISCO – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it closed on the sales of three value-add, garden-style multi-housing assets in Silicon Valley, including the 72-unit Appletree in Campbell, California, the 68-unit Vista Pointe and 50-unit Cedartree in Santa Clara, California, for a total of approximately $70 million.

JLL worked on behalf of the private seller and procured three unique buyers for the portfolio.

The portfolio contains a desirable unit mix with 37% one-bedroom units that average 731 square feet and 63% two-bedroom units that average 1,004 square feet. Each of the three assets present the opportunity for value-add renovations, with increased rent potential.

The three assets are within a seven-mile radius of each other and are situated near US 101, I-880 and I-280, providing immediate access to the entire Bay Area. Residents of the portfolio will also enjoy access to the continually expanding public transit system of the Bay Area, including Cal-train, the most accessible form of public transportation.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Ryan Wagner, Brandon Geraldo and Matt Kroger.

“Amidst market fluctuations and choppy debt markets, our extensive process proved that well-priced and high-quality multi-housing assets still have a large investor audience with ample liquidity,” according to Ryan Wagner. “Institutional core funds are still waiting for more data points to emerge to become more active, while middle-market and private-equity investors have been the most active players in the last six to nine months.”
