The Santa Monica multifamily market remains hot.

In the larger of two recent deals, All West Holdings of Los Angeles purchased Ocean View Apartments, a 25-unit complex at 615-17 Ocean Ave. overlooking the Pacific, for $15.6 million, or $624,000 a unit.

The seller was Hendlish Family Trust, which, amid a battle among family members, had been ordered by a judge to sell the 22,426-square-foot property. It was the last remaining parcel in the trust’s now-dissolved portfolio, according to Kitty Wallace, executive vice president at Colliers International, who represented the buyer.

Wallace said the buyer plans to hold on to the property, which is rent controlled and 100 percent occupied, and remodel each apartment as it becomes vacant, rather than tearing it down or trying to buy out tenants.

With the exception of one studio, the property is composed of two-bedroom apartments with an average rent of $2,000 a month, Wallace said. The rents range greatly, from under $700 a month to over $3,000 a month. Four units have ocean views.

Colliers’ David O’Neil represented the buyer.

The other recent acquisition was made by Santa Monica multifamily investor Jeffrey Nemoy, who purchased a 14-unit Class B apartment building at 1008 Second St. for $6.38 million, or $448,214 a unit. The seller was Jasin Co. of Encino, which bought the 15,858-square-foot property in 1969.

George Azzi, a business development associate at Marcus & Millichap-backed Azzi Advisors, represented both the buyer and the seller along with Tony Azzi. He said that the seller felt it was about time to sell. Nemoy is an investor whose sweet spot is Santa Monica properties, and he plans to hold on to the fully occupied building.

Nemoy late last year broke recent records in Brentwood with his $25.5 million purchase of Majestic East & West Apartments, a 68-unit, two-building property at 11677 and 11683 Goshen Ave. It was, at the time, the highest price paid in the submarket in 15 years.
