Most of the properties are relatively small, with the vast majority under 30,000 square feet. The largest by far is 9010 Tobias Avenue in Panorama City, dubbed Midtown Apartment Homes, which features 201 units across 160,858 square feet. 

“The sale … stands out for its scale and the innovative incorporation of a nonprofit partnership with National Community Renaissance (National CORE), which delivered substantial financial benefits for the stakeholders and contributes to the expansion of affordable housing in Los Angeles,” Azzi said in a statement.

As part of the deal with National CORE, at least 50 percent of the units will be earmarked for tenants earning less than 80 percent of the area median income, per Marcus & Millichap. 

“While many are moving investments outside of California, we saw this as an opportunity to make a long-term investment in the future of Los Angeles,” Brenenson said.
