ARES Acquires High-Profile Property at the Doorstep of Angel Stadium

Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate Services, Inc. (ARES) has completed the purchase of a 251 unit mixed-use property in the Platinum Triangle. The property sits directly across the Street from the Grove Theater just outside the parking lot of Angel Stadium. At the base of the 6-story building is “The Catch” restaurant which has been a landmark in Orange County since 1978. Originally designed and built as Condominiums in 2009, the property features large modern units averaging over 1,200 square feet and an abundance of amenities including a 6th floor entertainment deck overlooking the Stadium.

Richard Julian, President of ARES stated, “We are excited about adding this asset to our portfolio in Anaheim. Our goal is to complete cosmetic upgrades so we can continue to compete with the new product currently being delivered. We feel we have an advantage as this asset is the most well located in the submarket and the units are much larger than the competition.”

ARES plans a complete re-branding of the property to “Stadium House” and will spend over $5.3 million in upgrades. The improvements will be focused on the leasing office, fitness center, pool area, clubhouse, dog park, courtyards, elevators & lobbies. A new shared work space will also be created for residents who work from home to have access to professional offices and conference facilities. The interiors will receive new flooring, paint and technology features. The 6th floor entertainment deck will be completely overhauled so that residents can enjoy the breathtaking views, game days, events and fireworks from Angel’s Stadium.

“We plan to work with The Catch restaurant to host catered events on our 6th floor deck. We will install ovens, beer taps, refrigerators and other kitchen equipment so that the deck can be an extension of their restaurant on game days. We are also in discussions with The Catch and Flame Broiler to provide room service to our residents. These services and amenities will create a hotel-like atmosphere at the property” added Julian.

The Stadium House property should benefit from the increase in commercial development in the Platinum Triangle market. LT Global has announced they have plans to start construction on their transformative development (directly across the stadium parking lot) as soon as the end of this year. This project will include retail, hotel and residential uses. Also, one block away, Lennar is under construction on their “A Town” development which will include approximately 50,000 additional square feet of retail development.

The seller of this property was represented by Sean Deasy and Ryan Fitzpatrick of HFF’s Newport Beach Office. Mike Elmore of Nortmarq Financial procured a $67.5 million Fannie Mae loan on behalf of ARES.

“We raised over $50 million of private equity for this acquisition. A large piece of that came from the refinance of 4 of our other nearby properties” added Julian.

Advanced Real Estate Services, Inc. (ARES) was formed in 1982 and currently owns and operates over 8,250 units throughout Southern California with a market value in excess of $2 billion. ARES funds their investments with private equity and handles all property management and renovation in-house.

August 30, 2024
Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has added another major multi-family asset to its growing portfolio. Canvas LA, a 210-unit property that sits along the 110 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was purchased for approximately $62 million. “It’s rare to find such a well-built, podium property like this, for under $300,000 a unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “We haven’t seen that kind of pricing in over a decade.” “The property has an ideal location across the street from Vista Hermosa Park. It’s only a 10-minute walk to all the cultural attractions of Bunker Hill including the Broad Museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorthy Chandler and Ahmanson Theater” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “Trendy Echo Park, is also just over a mile away.” Advanced plans only light renovations at the property as the previous owner had invested over $3 million into upgrades after purchasing it in 2018. The property features a host of unique amenities including a resort-style pool with cabanas, large gym with separate cardio studio, game room, conference and office space, screening room, and sky deck with fire-pit. This was the final purchase for Advanced’s most recent acquisition Fund. That Fund also purchased Edison Long Beach, a 156-unit luxury residential high-rise, the 264-unit Surf House Apartments in Huntington Beach and the 714-unit The Grand Costa Mesa. These recent purchases made Advanced the largest buyer of apartments in Southern California in 2023. “We are long-term holders and wanted to seize this low-basis opportunity. We see a bright future for Los Angeles with the upcoming 2028 Olympics” added the Julians. Advanced will now kick off a new Fund which will be open to their “friends and family” investors and looks to continue to strategically increase its current portfolio of over 12,000 units in Southern California. “Our investor base of over 1,000 families continues to grow as we find great opportunities such as Canvas”, continued Rick Julian.
