Urban Pacific Announces Equity Commitments on Three New UTH Workforce Housing Projects

Accelerating its workforce housing development business plan, the Urban Group of Companies, has received equity commitments to develop three new Urban Town House (UTH) workforce housing communities, all located in Long Beach, CA. Long Beach is HQ for the company, and where Scott Choppin – CEO, created the UTH innovation. The three projects are located at 1491 Atlantic, 1901 Pacific, and 1115 E. Artesia, and all projects are expected to begin construction during the 2021 fiscal year.

The equity commitments are made by SDB, a Tel-Aviv based real estate equity fund manager, with over 1.0B AUM, led by Srulick Hanokh and Dan Liberman. This $1.5M three-deal equity commitment is part of an ongoing joint venture equity program that also includes the 1029 S. Montebello UTH project, located in Montebello, CA. According to Mr. Hanokh: “SDB invests over the entire globe, and the Urban Pacific projects have been a critical and successful part of our US investment portfolio. SDB invests in several US markets, and Urban Pacific has been a great operating partner. We are a firm believer in their housing offer – the Urban Town House (UTH) workforce housing type – that has a strong demonstrated demand during the Corona Virus era and solves the workforce housing problem for families in the long term”  

According to Scott Choppin, Urban Pacific CEO: “The UTH business plan has accelerated during the Coronavirus pandemic, where we are seeing a major increase in leasing traffic, absorption rates, and importantly a 10% average increase in rental rates since early 2020. Our observation is that both families and professional roommate groups are highly attracted to our 5-bedroom townhouse design. We expect this to continue for the next several years and beyond.”

UTH projects are a new housing innovation, created by Scott Choppin and Urban Pacific, that pairs private capital with a multigenerational workforce rental housing model. Purposely designed and built to rent, these live like a house, and allow families and roommates to live an “economic sharing” lifestyle, allowing them to share incomes and expenses related to their housing costs. Built for multi-generational multi-earner working families and roommates – UTH projects are “recession resilient”, meaning they perform well during recessionary times. UTH units each contain 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, in a three-story townhouse configuration, and includes a two-car direct access private garage, and an in-unit laundry room. As well, all units contain a ground floor bedroom bathroom combination, providing mobility enhanced ground floor living for grandparents or older inlaws. The units generally serve families in the 80-120% AMI range, providing for a naturally-occurring affordable housing opportunity, a totally unique housing innovation in the marketplace.
