by Katie Sloan January 4, 2024

LOS ANGELES — The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has acquired One Westside and Westside Two, located two miles from its Westwood campus in Los Angeles. A joint venture between Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE: HPP) and Macerich (NYSE: MAC) sold the assets for $700 million. The 700,000-square-foot property — located at 10800, 10830 and 10850 W. Pico Blvd.— was formerly occupied by Westside Pavilion mall, a city landmark that served as the backdrop for a number of movies and television shows since its opening in 1985. Hudson Pacific and Macerich began redevelopment efforts at the property in March 2018, converting the mall into a Class A office campus. Google inked a lease in January 2019 to occupy the entire campus under a 14-year term, which was to commence upon completion of the project in 2022.

Demand for Student Housing Development Persists Despite Economic Headwinds

by Katie Sloan December 21, 2023

It would be impossible to write a development or design article without mentioning the elephant in the room — the state of the capital markets and the current hurdles in securing financing of any sort, but especially for new development projects. While demand for new communities exists in many markets, getting projects to pencil out is the tricky part. For those developments that can move forward, innovative architecture and design are being employed to make the projects as functional and efficient as possible. Out are some of the flashier amenities from the days of yore, and in is design that helps student residents be the happiest and healthiest versions of themselves, both mentally and physically. From the developer perspective, there is no question about the desire to build — especially in Power Five university markets. “Almost all of the Power Five universities have seen 7 percent to 10 percent rental rate increases over the past three years and are showing approximately 98 percent occupancy at most properties,” says Greg Faulkner, president of Humphreys & Partners Architects. “But math has to work with the rates, like equity requirements of 45 percent or higher. Hard costs have moderated, but some are still …

Multifamily Investors in Long Beach Navigate Opportunities Amidst Market Adjustments, New Developments

by Jeff Shaw December 21, 2023

— By Juan Huizar, President, Sage Real Estate — Nationwide, multifamily sales are declining, while interest rates are rising. Buyers are adopting a patient approach, leading to properties lingering on the market for extended periods. This, of course, is accompanied by noticeable price reductions. Buyers are anticipating further price drops, while some sellers are slowly becoming more realistic in their pricing. Long Beach has perennially attracted multifamily investors with more than 7,500 individual apartment buildings. This is mainly composed of older housing stock, which creates a fertile ground for investors and syndicators. Often regarded as the last affordable beach city, Long Beach — despite being overshadowed by other Southern California communities or grouped with Los Angeles — stands as a significant population and employment hub, ranking as the sixth-largest city in California. Existing apartment sales for properties with five or more units have plummeted by more than 65 percent. Notably, 2021 was an exceptional year due to a confluence of factors, including rising real estate values and a low cost of capital. The current decline is more a reflection of increased capital costs than a trend over the past decade, with some properties selling for less than their 2019 prices. …
