Why El Cerrito
Why We Buy Multifamily In El Cerrito
El Cerrito is one of the California markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by BART El Cerrito Plaza and del Norte stations, UC Berkeley nearby, and San Pablo Avenue corridor.
El Cerrito pairs older small apartment buildings with new transit-oriented projects along San Pablo Avenue. Seismic retrofit needs and local tenant rules are important checks before buying.
In Mira Vista and Kensington as much as El Cerrito Plaza, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.
