by Amy Works
SAN DIEGO — Hunt Real Estate Capital has funded a $20.8 million refinancing through the FHA 223(a)(7) loan program for Rio Vista Apartments, an affordable multifamily property in the San Ysidro district of San Diego. Standard Cos. is the borrower. The loan features a 35-year term and refinances an existing FHA 223(f) loan, providing significant annual debt service savings with a lower interest rate and reduced mortgage insurance program. Built in 1985, Rio Vista Apartments features 161 apartments in a mix of two- and three-bedroom floor plans spread across 12 two-story buildings. At the time of financing, the property was 99 percent occupied. Community amenities include an on-site leasing office, laundry facility, playground, basketball court, swimming pool and community whirlpool.

LOS ANGELES — Panorama Senior Housing has unveiled plans for Eagle Rock Assisted Living and Memory Care Center in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. KTGY Architecture + Planning is the architect of the new community. Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2021, with completion in late 2022. The property will feature 87 assisted living units and 22 memory care units in a five-story building and a four-story building with a rooftop deck. A ground-level courtyard and subterranean parking structure will connect the two buildings. “This site was quite challenging because we had to fit a commercial kitchen, large dining room and a ton of other amenities in two separate buildings,” says Daniel Kianmahd, founder of Panorama. “In fact, about 45 percent of the gross area of the building is dedicated to common area compared to 15 percent for typical apartment buildings.” The planned community fits in with Eagle Rock’s “Rock the Boulevard” campaign, a $16.2 million makeover of the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare.

Just over a decade ago, a booming Phoenix market experienced a confluence of trends — rampant overbuilding, followed by a national economic crisis that meant a spike in unemployment and a near halt in population growth. One of the biggest commercial real estate downturns in the region’s history soon followed. Ten years later, however, the picture was quite different. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Phoenix multifamily metrics were solid through the first quarter of 2020 and supported by some of the strongest employment and household growth in the nation. In 2019, Phoenix added more than 82,000 new jobs — a 3.3 percent increase, the second highest job growth in the country.1 The economy today is much more diverse than it was 10 years ago during the last downturn. Workers can now choose among a variety of corporate, financial, education-based and tech employers while enjoying a lower cost of living than their peers in other metropolitan areas. Ultimately, Phoenix is better positioned than it was a decade ago; the Phoenix of today is grounded in a broader and more sustainable mix of favorable long-term market conditions. These characteristics, coupled with the region’s year-round sunshine, have made Phoenix an attractive place to …
