A fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors has closed on a $41.5 million mortgage loan for Gelt, Inc. to acquire Elevate Long Beach Apartments, a 160-unit multifamily community in Long Beach, Calif. The floating-rate loan has an initial term of three years, which can extend up to two additional years, and includes future funding to finance the sponsor’s business plan.

Elevate Long Beach, formerly known as Sofi on Third, is a five-story mid-rise apartment community that includes a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities at the property include a rooftop sundeck with grilling stations, a 24-hour fitness center, a swimming pool, a resident lounge, and a secured subterranean parking garage.

“Elevate Long Beach is well-positioned in Downtown Long Beach, which we believe will continue to thrive as a dynamic submarket with excellent fundamentals,” said Charles Kim, Managing Director for CBRE Global Investors. “This asset has performed well historically and we believe will continue to benefit not only from its premier location, but also from the new owner’s targeted capital improvement strategy.”

Brandon Smith, Annie Rice, and David Pelaia at JLL Capital Markets in Los Angeles arranged the loan on behalf of Gelt.

The property, located at 225 West 3rd Street, provides residents with convenient access to the I-710 Freeway, the Long Beach Airport, Cal State University Long Beach, and major employers in the area. Elevate Long Beach is also walking distance to several retail and entertainment destinations and public transit via the Metro Blue Line-Light Rail at Pacific Avenue Station, which is situated two blocks away.
