COLTON, CALIF. — Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, has negotiated the $88 million sale of District at Grand Terrace, a 352-unit apartment community located in the Inland Empire city of Colton. The sales price equates to $250,000 per unit.
Built in phases between 1980 and 1986, District at Grand Terrace is located near the San Bernardino Freeway, just off Interstate 215 and about seven miles from downtown San Bernardino.
The property features one-, two- and three-bedroom units that average 872 square feet. Units are furnished with stainless steel appliances, tile backsplashes, walk-in closets, individual washers and dryers and private balconies and patios.
Communal amenities include multiple resort-style pools, a 24-hour fitness center, coworking lounge, resident clubhouse with a demonstration kitchen and media center, package lockers and outdoor grilling areas.
Alexander Garcia Jr. and Christopher Zorbas of IPA, along with Tyler Martin of Marcus & Millichap, represented the seller, California-based investment firm Tower 16 Capital Partners, in the transaction. The trio also procured the buyer, investment and management firm MG Properties Group.
“The Inland Empire’s shutdown-resistant, medical- and logistics-heavy job market and limited new apartment construction support apartment owners,” says Zorbas, who serves as executive managing director investments at IPA.
To that end, the property is located within 10 miles of Loma Linda University Medical Center, St. Bernardine Medical Center and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. In addition, Amazon operates 14 fulfillment centers within a 20-mile radius of District at Grand Terrace.
