Affordable housing developers pay $63M for San Pedro complex
The 213-unit building is among the few affordable developments in the community
Two affordable housing developers have teamed up to buy a 213-unit multifamily complex in San Pedro, a community that has been lagging in lower-cost housing.
SDG Housing Partners and Affordable Housing Access paid nearly $63 million for the building at 1301 West Park Western Drive, records show.
The seller was a trustee of William Pavone, a Newport Beach resident, according to the deed.
The 50-year-old complex is spread across low-rise buildings on seven acres in the Northwest San Pedro neighborhood. It’s a couple of miles from Ratkovich Company and Jerico Development are planning the sprawling San Pedro Public Market project.
An affiliate of Colorado-based Bear Creek Securities, acting behind an LLC, provided a $53 million acquisition loan.
Neither of the buyers responded to immediate requests for comment. Pavone, whose family has owned the site for at least five years, could not be reached.

A recent report from public policy group Next 10 revealed some communities in the South Bay are a very long way from reaching their affordable housing goals.
