Sonora Canyon Property Map |
Capping off a seven-day period in which 915 multifamily
units changed hands for nearly $125m, The Sonora Canyon Apartments were
purchased by a joint-venture between Seattle-based multifamily investors,
Security Properties, and health insurance giant, Aetna, for $30m or $77,320 per
unit. The seller was Marc Lipshy of Lone Star Funds, who acquired the property
almost exactly one year ago for the same amount. Security and Aetna paid
$8,102,501 in cash for the apartment complex and secured $24.999m in new agency
debt originated by Prudential Mortgage Capital, assigned to Freddie Mac and
maturing August 1st, 2021.
The 388-unit apartment complex—located south of the
southeast corner of Gilbert Road and University Drive in Mesa—is comprised of
thirty-three 2-story buildings totaling 312,880 net rentable square feet built
in 1984 on a 15.8 acre site. There are four one-bedroom floor plans totaling
224 units and ranging in size from 570 ft2 to 768 ft2 and
four two-bedroom floor plans totaling 164 units and ranging in size from 882 ft2
to 1,042 ft2. All units are individually metered for power and
master metered for water, sewer and trash. There are three resort-style pools
on site as well as a basketball and tennis court.
