LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Mesa West Capital has provided Sares Regis Group with $65 million in first mortgage debt for the acquisition of a 169-unit multifamily community in Los Angeles' Mid-Wilshire neighborhood.

Mesa West Capital's five-year, floating-rating loan is secured by The Preston, a four-story, high-density community located at 630 Masselin Avenue. The property features a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom floorplans, and also includes a 336-car parking garage with EV parking stations, pet park, resort-style pool and clubhouse with fitness center.

Situated one-half block north of Wilshire Boulevard, between Fairfax and La Brea Avenues, in what is commonly referred to as The Miracle Mile, the neighborhood benefits from a vibrant social and cultural infrastructure with 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment and dining options, as well as Los Angeles' largest collection of museums. Los Angeles's famed "Museum Row" includes the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, the Craft Contemporary and the Petersen Automotive Museum.  Additionally, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures at Fairfax and Wilshire will open in December 2020.
