Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate (Advanced) has made Southern California’s largest multi-family buy of 2026, purchasing the 200-unit Columbia Square Living (now renamed “Sky Hollywood”) and the 193-unit Jardine Hollywood towers. These acquisitions bring the Advanced portfolio to almost 13,000 units in Southern California. The high-profile properties enjoy premium locations in the heart of the entertainment capital of the world. Sky Hollywood is situated a block south of Hollywood Boulevard at El Centro, and Jardine is located a block south of Sunset Boulevard at Ivar. They both offer luxury apartments with top-of-the-line amenities, including rooftop pools, large fitness centers, resident lounges, floor-to-ceiling windows, and luxury appliances. Each of the properties contains penthouses leasing from $12,000 to $20,000 per month. Current and past residents include film and television celebrities, social media influencers, professional athletes, and entertainment executives. Sky Hollywood and Jardine are two of only five apartment towers in Hollywood and make up over half of the stock of high-rise units. “With the World Cup and the Olympics coming to Los Angeles, along with movie and television production returning to the region, we feel the future looks bright for Hollywood. Entertainment is constantly changing, but Hollywood has stayed relevant in traditional media, social media, and technology,” said Paul Julian, President of Advanced. “Hollywood is one of the most recognized places in the world; no town has had a bigger influence on global popular culture. We’re honored to own these significant assets here.” This is the third acquisition for Advanced’s newest Opportunity Fund (Advanced Fund 24-3). They purchased “The Cove” in October, a 138-unit property in West Covina and Newhope Village, 104 units in Santa Ana late last year. They plan more Southern California apartment acquisitions in 2026. Advanced’s capital comes from their large “friends and family” network of investors. With a 45-year track record, they can raise significant funds to purchase some of the largest assets in Southern California. “Our business plan is to stay within our market where there are high barriers to entry and where we have a long history of operations,” said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. Property Management will be handled in-house by Advanced Management Company (AMC). They also plan cosmetic upgrades to the properties, which will be administered by their affiliated construction company, R³ Construction Services. The property was brokered by Blake Rogers, Senior Managing Director and National Multi-Housing Group Leader at JLL, Senior Director Dillon Bergum, and Managing Directors Alexandra Caniglia and Kip Malo of JLL Capital Markets. Kevin Mackenzie, President of JLL’s Capital Markets Group for the Americas, along with JLL’s Orange County-based Capital Markets team, including Senior Managing Director Greg Brown and Director Charlie Vorsheck procured two separate, uncrossed loans totaling $141.4 million from Freddie Mac. The loan has an attractive 5.17% rate, fixed for 10 years, with interest-only payments. About Advanced Real Estate Advanced was formed in 1981 and currently owns and operates nearly 13,000 apartment units throughout Southern California, with a market value of over $4.5 billion. Advanced funds their investments with private equity. All property management and renovations are carefully administered through their in-house management and construction arms, Advanced Management Company and R³ Construction Services.

They are now partners in our Fund and diversified amongst the other assets” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. Advanced’s investment offerings are open to their “friends and family” network which has now grown to over 1,000 investors. “We are always open to welcoming new investors either through cash and retirement investments, or through a contribution of their property, like in this case with Newhope Village” continued Rick Julian.

It’s rare to find such an attractive unit mix for under $300,000 per unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “West Covina has been a historically strong rental market with abundant retail and employment and very little new competing supply. The last significant new multi-family development was completed over 12 years ago.” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “We see great value in this type of low-density product in the San Gabriel Valley.” Advanced plans for significant renovations and upgrades to the property, including the addition of in-unit washer and dryers, new cabinetry, flooring, fixtures, appliances, windows and a modern paint scheme. These upgrades will be completed by Advanced’s in-house construction company, R3 Construction and in-house property management company, Advanced Management Company. The gated property features a host of amenities including 2 pools with cabanas, fitness center, fire-pits, garages and a large open landscaped area.

Advanced’s investment offerings are open to their “friends and family” network which has now grown to over 1,000 investors. “We have a unique tax-efficient structure allowing investors to use their trapped retirement funds for the bulk of their investment and leverage a smaller personal contribution of cash,” continued Rick Julian. “We are always open to welcoming new investors.” Advanced assumed a $21 million, Freddie Mac Loan, with a fixed interest rate of 4.75%, and full-term interest-only payments. The sale was brokered by Shane Shafer, previously of Northmarq and now with Colliers.

Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has added another major multi-family asset to its growing portfolio. Canvas LA, a 210-unit property that sits along the 110 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was purchased for approximately $62 million. “It’s rare to find such a well-built, podium property like this, for under $300,000 a unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “We haven’t seen that kind of pricing in over a decade.” “The property has an ideal location across the street from Vista Hermosa Park. It’s only a 10-minute walk to all the cultural attractions of Bunker Hill including the Broad Museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorthy Chandler and Ahmanson Theater” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “Trendy Echo Park, is also just over a mile away.” Advanced plans only light renovations at the property as the previous owner had invested over $3 million into upgrades after purchasing it in 2018. The property features a host of unique amenities including a resort-style pool with cabanas, large gym with separate cardio studio, game room, conference and office space, screening room, and sky deck with fire-pit. This was the final purchase for Advanced’s most recent acquisition Fund. That Fund also purchased Edison Long Beach, a 156-unit luxury residential high-rise, the 264-unit Surf House Apartments in Huntington Beach and the 714-unit The Grand Costa Mesa. These recent purchases made Advanced the largest buyer of apartments in Southern California in 2023. “We are long-term holders and wanted to seize this low-basis opportunity. We see a bright future for Los Angeles with the upcoming 2028 Olympics” added the Julians. Advanced will now kick off a new Fund which will be open to their “friends and family” investors and looks to continue to strategically increase its current portfolio of over 12,000 units in Southern California. “Our investor base of over 1,000 families continues to grow as we find great opportunities such as Canvas”, continued Rick Julian.
