American Property Enterprises has completed its acquisition of a 21 acre residential development site that it previously owned, after re-acquiring the site from the homebuilder that bought it. The site is approved for 210 triplex style townhomes, on a view-oriented hilltop location just southeast of the intersection of Interstate 15 and Rancho California Road in Temecula, California.

In 2003, American Property Enterprises acquired the site, and sold it at a profit in 2005 to Pulte Homes. On December 24, 2008, American Property Enterprises closed escrow on its purchase of the property from Pulte Homes, for a $3 million purchase price, which is less than what the company originally paid for the property in 2003.

“Everything we originally liked about the location and physical attributes of the property is still attractive,” commented Steve Quinn, President and CEO of American Property Enterprises. “It is an A+ property within the city of Temecula, and we believe it will be one of the first sites to regain its value in the Inland Empire when the housing market stabilizes and begins to recover.”

American Property Enterprises signed the purchase contract with Pulte Homes on December 1st, waived feasibility on December 19th, and closed escrow on the 24th. “The transaction moved fast, because we realize that in order to take advantage of attractive opportunities in today’s market, we need to be able to move fast,” said Andrew Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of American Property Enterprises. “When prices reach a point at which they reflect the very difficult housing market conditions today, potential buyers and investors seem to come out of the woodwork. We want to be among the first to react when prices are right.”

American Property Enterprises is a 24 year old San Diego-based company that has investments and management capabilities in industrial and office properties, as well as multi-family rental and for-sale properties. The Company is also actively pursuing non-performing loans and debt as well as distressed commercial and residential real estate.

Now that was a home run for American Property Enterprises, while the article didn’t disclose the exact purchase prices other than the recent sale, I ran the gis and looked at the taxes, it’s three lots totaling 21 acres, one was 5.5 million, one 4.5 million and the third 2.5 million so lets see, APE buys it in 2003 for probably 4 or 5 mil, sells it to pulte for 12.5 mil, pulte grades it, has utils put in and sells it back to APE for 3 mil. So they end up with the property for free and a couple million for their trouble. How do invest with these guys?

The city of Temecula is grasping at straws. Affordable housing complex coming since the builder walked, French Valley Pkwy is going to hit insurmountable opposition, the new hospital will be lucky to be in operation by 2015 (that’s assuming the Feds don’t shut Southwest Healthcare down), the quarry is going in regardless of the uproar. Funny, but the only thing going for them at this point is a new water park. Oh yeah, a big parking garage for the new city hall.
