Property details

Context that shaped the conversion

These project specifics help explain why the conversion path and results differed from one building to another.

Year Built

1960

Underlying Mortgage

No underlying mortgage; fees and closing costs only

The transformation

From constraints to outcomes

Each project began with a specific set of financing, legal, or market challenges and moved through a different path to a successful outcome.

Before conversion

The constraints

01

Property was in an excellent location in a residential area of Los Angeles, CA but suffered from low values and limited sales activity.

02

As a co-op, some owners were unable to refinance or secure home equity loans since unit values remained low compared to the loan amount they needed.

03

There was virtually no reserve fund for future replacement of common areas.

After conversion

The documented outcomes

The project record reports that units sold at 160% of their former co-op values after conversion. There was no underlying mortgage to repay.

At the time of this conversion, owners had access to financing of up to 95% of condominium value, subject to the loan program and individual qualification.

Through the conversion process, a substantial reserve fund was established for the new Condominium Association.
