Investment Highlights
Skye at Laguna Niguel is a Class A property in Laguna Niguel, CA and TruAmerica’s first investment in South Orange County. The property was completed in February 2016 and acquired on a pre-stabilized and off-market basis. Skye at Laguna Niguel was purchased at a significant discount to its appraised value as the stabilized cap rate was far below pricing for stabilized core assets in similar coastal locations. Core multifamily properties in coastal Southern California consistently trade in the high-3 to low-4 cap rates. This investment represents a rare opportunity as core product in Orange County are owned by a few select owners and seldom available for sale. The last sale of a core product in this market occurred in Q4 2013 in Irvine, CA, which traded at a 4.0% cap rate. In addition, the City of Laguna Niguel is a severely underserved submarket for multifamily housing as the current average apartment occupancy is 97%, thus demonstrating demand for new product.
