Pathfinder Adds Two New Multifamily Properties to Portfolio

Firm Will Incorporate Significant Upgrades to New Properties in Denver, Long Beach

2012-06-29

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Bringing its number of 2012 transactions to eight, Pathfinder Partners, LLC - a San Diego based firm specializing in opportunistic investments in distressed real estate assets and defaulted loans - has recently closed two transactions in Denver, Colorado, and Long Beach, California.

In Denver, Pathfinder and its partner, Bruckal Properties, Inc., acquired the Wellshire Arms Apartments, a 103,000-square-foot, 12-story, 107-unit apartment community located in the historic Observatory Park neighborhood. Earlier this month, Pathfinder purchased Le Park Apartments, a 40-unit, 34,000-square-foot multifamily complex located in Long Beach's popular Bixby Knolls neighborhood. Working with partner, RyaNik Holdings, LLC, Pathfinder acquired the property directly from a regional bank.

According to Mitch Siegler, senior managing director of Pathfinder, the firm is initiating significant capital improvement programs at the communities, which will both be available as rentals. "These properties reflect Pathfinder's bullish outlook for Denver and Southern California and are consistent with our long-term strategy to acquire properties at well below peak market pricing," he said.

Wellshire Arms Apartments, constructed in 1962, is in a prime, central-Denver location, and will be renamed "The Wellshire." Units average 980-square-feet, with wrap-around balconies and stunning panoramic city and mountain views. Pathfinder plans to implement a $2.5 million ($24,000/unit) exterior and interior renovation focused on modernizing the building's exterior, significantly enhancing the project's common area amenities and updating the unit interiors.

Le Park Apartments, built in 1948, consists of six, two-story buildings in a spacious, garden-style setting on 1.25 acres. The property will be renamed "Bixby Park Apartments," and a $600,000 ($15,000/unit) renovation program will supplement the original hardwood floors and tile in kitchens and bathrooms with modern appliances and fixture. Additionally, Pathfinder will replace selected roofs and repaint the building's exteriors.
