LOS ANGELES — Douglas Emmett Inc. (NYSE: DEI) has acquired The Glendon, a multifamily and retail complex in the Westwood Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, for $365 million.
Built in 2008, The Glendon features 350 apartment units and 50,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space on a 4.3-acre plot. The multifamily and retail components combined were 97 percent occupied at the time of sale. The Glendon common areas were recently upgraded and the property is midway through a total unit renovation, which DEI plans to complete.
Westwood Village is located approximately 12 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. The neighborhood is home to UCLA’s main campus, and abuts popular locations such as Los Angeles National Cemetery and Bel-Air Country Club. The Glendon is also located within walking distance of more than 2.1 million square feet of DEI-owned office space.
DEI is a Santa Monica-based real estate investment trust. Although the seller was not officially disclosed, Clarion Partners purchased the property in 2014, according to Los Angeles Business Journal.
With the acquisition of The Glendon, DEI has grown its total multifamily portfolio by over 20 percent in the last two years to more than 4,000 units in West Los Angeles and Honolulu, with more units scheduled for delivery from the company’s development pipeline.
DEI’s stock price closed at $40.90 per share on Monday, June 10, up from $38.45 one year ago.
