Blythe, CA — The Mogharebi Group, (“TMG”) has completed the sale of Casa Encinas at River Heights, an 81-unit affordable community located at 2200 E. Donlon Street. The property sold with multiple offers at a price of $4,325,000. Bryan LaBar represented the seller, a Southern California-based investor. The buyer was a private investor also based out of Southern California. 

“Casa Encinas is a partially affordable housing community located in a market with a high demand for workforce housing. Also, from a pound-for-pound, price-per-unit basis, the price was well below replacement cost, especially for a newer construction property,” said Bryan LaBar, Vice President of The Mogharebi Group. “As a result, there was a high level of interested buyers for this asset. Through our proprietary 1031 exchange platform that includes a robust network of private high net-worth and exchange buyers, we were able to drive the value and successfully close with multiple offers over the list price.”
