Resort Lifestyle Senior Housing Community Under Way in One of Most Popular Places to Retire

LAKE HAVASU, AZ – Civitas Senior Living, a Texas-based senior living consulting, management, and ownership company, announced its role as the management company for The Views at Lake Havasu, an exciting new independent living project presented by Summerlin Asset Management, LLC, and Desert Land Group. 

“We are excited to add The Views at Lake Havasu and its future residents to our growing family of senior living communities across the country,” said Wayne Powell, Founder and CEO of Civitas Senior Living. 

The Views at Lake Havasu will be ideally situated to maximize the benefits of Lake Havasu City, with proximity to the Arizona State University Colleges at Lake Havasu as well as the city’s Main Street area. Residents will also delight in panoramic views of the lake and surrounding desert landscape. The 92-apartment community will be ideal for seniors aged 55 and better seeking the resort lifestyle offered by one of Arizona’s most active and attractive locations.

Lake Havasu City is the second most well loved place to retire in the U.S., according to a 2017 article on Time.com. The area’s moderate climate and abundance of recreational activities attract retirees seeking warmer weather. Add to that the magnificent festivals, such as the annual Havasu Balloon Festival and Honest, Festival of Lights, and the Lake Havasu Songwriters Festival, and residents will never experience a dull moment again! 

The four-tale community will feature everything seniors will need to live a lifestyle of independence, focused on what they want to do with their days. Residents seeking engagement and entertainment within the community will delight in the outdoor pool and patio areas, fitness center, media room, beauty salon, fine dining restaurant, casual dining bistro, and robust activities program. Beyond the community, Main Street Lake Havasu offers a variety of dining, entertainment, and public activities to keep seniors living the life they desire. Healthcare options are also conveniently located.

A ground-breaking ceremony was held on Jan. 18, with Mayor Mark S. Nexsen, members of the City Council, future residents, and local investors in attendance. Representatives from Civitas, Desert Land Group, Summerlin, REES Architecture, who provided design and engineering support, and Consolidated Construction were also part of the celebration. The event was abuzz with excitement as dignitaries and project administrators turned the soil with the ceremonial shovels.

Powell’s goal with this community is to provide the residents who call Lake Havasu home the same leading-edge programming and passionate care that has made Civitas a nationally recognized name in the senior living industry.

“Our passion is people, and our mission is to inspire active, healthy, and pleased lives,” Powell said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to grow this mission in Arizona.”

Freshwater Investments Acquires Multifamily Community in Seattle Metro for $16.5 Million

SEATTLE, WA – Freshwater Investments announced the acquisition of The Lighthouse Apartments, a multifamily community in Kent, WA. This is the second property in the Seattle metro area that Freshwater adds to its portfolio. The company also owns the 93-unit Stinson Apartment Homes in Everett, WA.

Alex Rozenfeld, Freshwater Investments Founder and Managing Partner, said, “Seattle metro area continues to be a sought-after location with high potential. With this acquisition, we have nearly doubled our portfolio here and made new opportunities for our investors.”

The seller of the property was TruAmerica Multifamily, and its Dispositions & Investment Management Director Christopher Wei made a comment: “Freshwater Investments was as professional a Buyer as we have transacted with. PSA negotiations were expedient, the Due Diligence process was seamless, and closing took place on time and at the price we entered escrow with, which is what we value most.”

Built in 2002, the three-tale Lighthouse community consists of 76 units and offers a mix of one- two- and three-bedroom apartment homes ranging from 716 to 1,198 square feet. The property is located within walking distance to the ShoWare Center, a bustling shopping and entertainment hub well loved with the locals and minutes away from the train station connecting Kent with Seattle Downtown. Some of the community amenities include business center, clubhouse with TV lounge, garages, fitness center and sundeck. Freshwater is plotting value-add in-unit improvements to offer better homes to the residents.

“The cost of housing in Seattle has increased significantly, which has driven residents to the suburbs,” said Corey Marx, Managing Director at JLL, the firm brokering this sale. “As a result, Kent and other suburban markets in the region have experienced strong rent growth.”

Lighthouse will be managed by Coast Real Estate Services, the largest property management company in Everett, WA with 16,000 apartment homes in Washington and Oregon under its management.

Freshwater Investments is a California based private equity real estate investment firm making opportunities for private and institutional investors to diversify portfolios and gain attractive returns through co-ownership of multifamily housing properties.
