$12M Finances Apartment Rehab

ANAHEIM, CA-The Related Companies of California and the Southern California Housing Development Corp. have secured $12.2 million in equity financing toward the purchase and rehabilitation of Jeffrey Lynne Perimeter, a 112-unit apartment development originally constructed during the 1950s on Jeffrey and Lynne streets near Disneyland.

The equity was supplied by Related’s affiliate, Related Capital, and provides part of the financing for what Related describes as much needed quality, affordable housing.

Besides the $12.2 million from Related Capital, which provided the equity in exchange for tax credits generated by the development, this latest phase of the Jeffrey Lynne development will be financed by a $7.5 million loan from the City of Anaheim.

The 112-unit project follows the 267-unit Phase I Jeffrey Lynne development, for which Related provided a $25.6 million investment in 2000, notes Bill Witte, principal of The Related Cos. The second phase of the development will consist of 23 two-story, garden-style buildings situated on over four acres. The property will feature one- to three-bedroom units ranging in size from 649 sf to 1,135 sf. Rents are expected to start at $375 for the one-bedroom units or $543 for the three-bedroom units. The rehabilitation of the property will include significant renovation of both the interior of the buildings and the grounds of the property, improving both the site’s appearance and functionality, according to Related.
