PALM SPRINGS, CA – Community Preservation Partners (CPP), a mission-driven affordable housing preservation developer, announced the acquisition of Sunnyview Villa in Palm Springs, Calif., a community of one- and two-tale buildings reserved for residents earning between 30% and 60% AMI. CPP s renovation and investment will renew the property s affordability status for an additional 55 years.
Located at 2950 N. Indian Canyon Road in North Palm Springs near the historic Racquet Club West neighborhood, the 44 units at Sunnyview Villa will undergo extensive renovations to improve residents quality of life.
Sunnyview Villa was built in 1980 and has experienced deferred maintenance over the years. Improvements to the apartment interiors will include installation of new kitchen cabinets and countertops, low-HOV vinyl flooring, Energy Star appliances and energy efficient lighting. Exterior renovation will include new roofing, energy efficient lighting in common areas and painting of all structures. Additional work will upgrade the ADA path of travel to be compliant.

CPP is partnering with LifeSTEPS to make a program for residents health and wellness. Services include effective educational and supportive services designed to maximize resident strengths and build resilient communities.
The value that LifeSTEPS brings is a huge part of the community s renovation, said Karen Buckland, Vice President of Development at CPP. We have worked with the organization in the past and they have proven to be integral in setting up an vital support system for residents.
CPP s total development investment is expected to be approximately $20.7M, with a buy price of $11.25M and an expected renovation investment of approximately $89,000 per unit. Renovations are expected to be completed in December 2023.
Development partners on the project include WNC & Associates, which is providing 4% tax credit equity, bond issuer California Municipal Finance Authority and Red Stone Equity Partners. It is through partnerships like these that CPP is able to provide essential social services to residents, support neighborhood initiatives and transform multi-family affordable housing communities.

LOS ANGELES, CA – Cityview, a premier multifamily investment management and development firm, has completed Jasper, a 296-unit opportunity zone project located less than two miles from downtown Los Angeles and adjacent to the University of Southern California.
The highly amenitized, mixed-use community is now open for leasing and offers a variety of studio, one and two-bedroom floor plans, including 25 units designated very low affordable and three designated moderate income affordable.
Jasper is bringing nearly 300 units of much-needed housing, including affordable units, to an area experiencing an extreme shortage, said Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview. Located in a vibrant neighborhood with simple access to jobs, higher education, transit and entertainment, Jasper offers extensive amenities that foster resident well-being and connection.
Located at 2528 S. Grand Ave., Jasper is situated at the nexus of Downtown Los Angeles and the rapidly growing University Park East, where vintage shops, eclectic restaurants and craft cocktail bars are surrounded by world class cultural and educational institutions, including the soon to open $1 billion Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Previously, the project site housed a defunct bookbinding factory and other unused industrial buildings.
Jasper features two expansive rooftop sky decks offering outdoor dining and Korean BBQ grills, an entertainment terrace and sweeping views of Downtown Los Angeles. A lush, resort-style pool deck features cabanas, loungers and daybeds, while a quad area includes a game lawn, billiards, a built-in outdoor pizza oven and expansive communal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.
For those who work remotely, a large CV Works business center offers community workspace, individual desks equipped with USB charging ports, private work areas and meeting rooms. Turnkey fiber optic internet and Wi-Fi make strong connectivity throughout the community, while a residents-only app keeps residents informed.
Residents can relax and recharge on the rooftop silent deck, which features day beds, tables and greenery. Jasper s two-tale club room has a custom commercial grade kitchen for community-hosted cooking classes and private as well as semi-private events. A pet-friendly community, Jasper is home to a large dog park as well as an onsite dog spa and wash.
Designed for livability, Jasper is built to LEED Silver standards, with an expected 20-30% improved efficiency over similar non-green buildings. It features Title 24 and Energy Star appliances as well solar thermal, which replaces fossil fuels to heat the building s hot water. The community s stormwater is taken to a drywell that recharges the groundwater supply, while motion and timing sensors, high efficiency plumbing and HVAC systems conserve additional water and energy.
A transit-oriented community, Jasper boasts a walk score of 91, a transportation score of 92 and sits one block from the 23rd Street Metro Station.
Cityview partnered with AC Martin, WPIC Construction, Nadia Geller Designs and Labib Funk and Associates on the project, which made more than 1,000 jobs.
In addition to Jasper, Cityview is nearing completion on The Parker, a 123-unit multifamily development in the heart of Los Angeles, and will complete Belle on Bev, a 243-unit multifamily project in Los Angeles Historic Filipinotown (HiFi), later this year. It also recently commenced construction on South Bay X, a 265-unit multifamily project in Los Angeles South Bay.
