Clarion Partners and Cityview Acquire 276-Unit Empire Landing Apartment Community for $161 Million in Burbank, California

LOS ANGELES, CA – Clarion Partners and Cityview, a vertically-integrated multifamily investment management and development firm, announced the joint acquisition of Empire Landing, a unique, lush, garden-style apartment community composed of 276-units in Burbank, CA. Empire Landing features traditional one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as 41 three-tale townhomes with two-car direct access garages. This is the only rental community in supply-constrained Burbank to offer townhome residences larger than 1,500 square feet.
Clarion and Cityview are plotting a comprehensive renovation of the common areas, amenities, and interiors. The expansive gated community features ample indoor and outdoor amenities which will be re-envisioned with an updated design, revamped leasing experience, and renewed functionality of shared amenities, including the pool deck, fitness center, and clubhouse. In-unit renovations will include an updated design and high-end finishes and appliances.
Empire Landing is centrally located where urban and suburban environments converge in one of the most job-rich, high-growth economic areas of Southern California, often referred to as the ‘media capital of the world , said Devang Shah, managing director, Cityview. Modernizing this community will deliver Class-A style and amenities to a city demonstrating high demand for quality rental housing.
Located in historically one of the strongest performing submarkets of Los Angeles, Empire Landing is situated among 10 million square feet of office space within a ten-mile radius, roughly 70% of which are Class A and largely media companies – including 16 animation studios, 15 television and broadcasting networks, eight record marks and 10 motion picture studios. With media and tech giants continuing to enter and expand their footprints in the community, and Hollywood and downtown within a 30-minute drive, residents have access to some of the most marquee employers in the country. Conveniently located minutes from vibrant Downtown Burbank and more than two million square feet of retail space, residents have the best of both urban and suburban environments.
We are excited to partner with Cityview who will bring a wealth of value-add experience to re-envision the property while delivering outstanding tenant satisfaction, said Robert Wilshusen, vice president, Clarion Partners.

Venterra Realty Completes Acquisition of 168-Unit Cane Island Apartment Community in Orlando Submarket of Kissimmee, Florida

KISSIMMEE, FL – Venterra Realty bought in Kissimmee, Florida. The property was built in 2008 by D.R. Horton, one of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., with condominium-quality “concrete block” construction.

Cane Island is well positioned with close proximity to 6 of the top 12 theme parks in the world.

The area has been named one of the country’s most competitive locations for business and boasts a perpetual talent pipeline with over 500,000 students within a 100-mile radius.
The community provides renters a convenient location and the largest floorplans in the area. Cane Island’s two, three and four bedroom apartments offer ample closet space, granite counter tops, space to work from home and full-size washer and dryer. Venterra will complete further unit upgrades, including the addition of SmartHome technology, and the development of Venterra’s customer-focused management platform.
“Cane Island is a valuable investment to be added to the growing Venterra portfolio in the top-performing market of Orlando. We are confident that the property will benefit substantially from our unit upgrade program and we look forward to making Cane Island an even more desirable place to live,” said Venterra Realty Chairman, Andrew Stewart.
Venterra will implement its resident-focused programs such as the Live it. Like it. Guarantee, the 48-Hour Maintenance Guarantee, SMARTLEASING, as well as their overall commitment to providing a world-class living experience for which Venterra has become known.
“This property offers significant opportunity, and we are excited to continue our growth in Florida, leaning into its strong employment growth and attractive supply and demand,” said John Foresi, CEO of Venterra Realty.
