AMC Team Members and Families Come Together for 2025 Seal Beach Cleanup

August 23, 2025

The Live Happy Project brings team spirit and community care to the shoreline

SEAL BEACH, Calif. (August 23, 2025) – AMC team members and their families gathered at the Seal Beach Pier this past Saturday to roll up their sleeves and make a positive impact on the local shoreline. Organized through The Live Happy Project, an AMC employee run and funded initiative, the beach cleanup brought together dozens of volunteers united by a shared commitment to care for the environment and support the communities we serve.


In line with AMC’s Live Green philosophy and sustainability initiatives, volunteers used compostable gloves and trash bags during the event, ensuring the cleanup itself reflected environmentally responsible practices. Despite an overcast morning, the energy was bright as volunteers collected litter from the pier parking lot and surrounding stretch of beach. Families worked side by side, demonstrating the power of teamwork and the joy of giving back together. The group wrapped up just in time to avoid a passing rain shower—leaving the shoreline cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for all who visit.


AMC President Danielle McCarthy remarked, “At AMC, we believe that every community is enriched when its members lend a hand, especially in the places we all share and love. The Live Happy Project is one way we honor that belief — by making tangible improvements, and doing so together.” 


The Seal Beach Cleanup is part of a broader series of community initiatives hosted by The Live Happy Project. Earlier this summer, the program organized the Annual Backpack Drive supporting local families, and it is already preparing for the Thanksgiving Dinner Donation this November. By taking part in projects that protect natural spaces, AMC team members continue to bring The Live Happy Project to life—making a difference through small, collective actions that create a lasting impact.

Advanced Real Estate Purchases 138 Units in West Covina

November 3, 2025
Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has paid $41 million to purchase “The Cove at West Covina,” adding to its 12,000+ unit portfolio in Southern California. “The Cove is well-located with large units averaging over 1,000 square feet. 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. This is the first purchase for Advanced’s new Opportunity Fund (Advanced Fund 24-3). They plan multiple other Southern California apartment acquisitions in the coming year. 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.
