Immobilier Funds, a San Diego-based institutional investor, acquired Casa Lane Townhomes at 7010-7014 Casa Lane in Lemon Grove, California, for $9.05 million, or about $302,000 per unit, from Free Sacred Trinity Church.

The sale represented the buyer’s upleg in a 1031 tax-deferred exchange, reinvesting proceeds from three smaller assets that Immobilier had sold in San Diego.

The 30-unit, 25,740-square-foot multifamily property is comprised entirely of two-story, two-bedroom townhomes that were recently renovated with modern kitchens, mini-split air conditioning units, dual pane windows and new roofing.

“Free Sacred Trinity Church engaged CBRE to advise on the conversion from corporate use into a market-rate multifamily asset,” CBRE’s John Newton said in a corporate statement announcing the sale. “It was the first time on the market. Working together, we implemented a defined strategy to maximize potential value and deliver a record setting price for the ownership.”

Newton, along with J. Kevin Mulhern at CBRE, represented the seller and were the sole brokers on the sale.
