Built in 1987, the Solterra at Civic Center community includes a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments, 49 of which have been renovated.

Kort & Scott’s purchase is on the pricier end of recent multifamily sales across Los Angeles County. In June, Harbor Group International bought a 220-unit community in Pomona for $46.75 million.

In Norwalk, Kort & Scott also owns a 249-unit apartment complex at 11645 Firestone Blvd, which it bought using a $42.6 million Fannie Mae acquisition loan in 2017. The firm also operates over 35 mobile home communities in California, as well as in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, according to a mobile home residents association.
