Describe Your Business

Horizon Studios is a fully entitled 104-unit adaptive reuse and affordable housing development located in Buena Park, California, within the highly desirable Orange County market. The project transforms an existing motel into a professionally designed affordable studio housing community featuring 104 residential units, extensive community amenities, and long-term income potential supported by public housing programs.

Unlike most redevelopment opportunities, Horizon Studios has already eliminated many of the largest development risks. The project has received approval through Conditional Use Permit No. CU-25-10 (Resolution No. 6398), successfully completed its environmental review, and has approved architectural and engineering plans ready for building permit issuance.

Construction is already underway, including demolition and rough plumbing for future kitchenettes, allowing investors to significantly reduce development timelines compared to traditional ground-up multifamily construction.

Project highlights include:

  • 104 affordable studio apartments

  • 1.7-acre development site

  • Housing Incentive Overlay zoning

  • 78 parking spaces

  • Swimming pool

  • Pickleball court

  • Community room

  • Fitness room

  • BBQ courtyard

  • On-site manager unit

  • Mail room

  • Approved CUP

  • Approved environmental review

  • Approved building plans

  • Construction already underway

The project has also established a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Homeless Veterans of America (HVOA), creating opportunities to pursue VA-supported housing initiatives while expanding affordable housing availability throughout Orange County.

For investors searching for affordable housing developments, multifamily development opportunities, adaptive reuse projects, commercial real estate investments, LIHTC projects, Section 8 housing investments, workforce housing, veteran housing developments, or multifamily businesses for sale, Horizon Studios represents one of Southern California's most compelling redevelopment opportunities.

Why Are You Selling?

Ownership is soliciting qualified acquisition proposals from experienced multifamily developers, affordable housing operators, institutional investors, nonprofit housing organizations, family offices, opportunity funds, and private equity firms capable of completing this shovel-ready redevelopment project.

The property's entitlement process has already been substantially completed, reducing permitting risk and allowing future ownership to immediately focus on vertical construction, lease-up, financing execution, and long-term operations.

Several factors distinguish this investment from traditional multifamily development opportunities:

  • Fully approved Conditional Use Permit

  • Completed environmental review

  • Approved architectural plans

  • Building permits ready to pull

  • Construction already in progress

  • Existing utility infrastructure

  • Adaptive reuse strategy

  • Reduced entitlement risk

  • LIHTC eligibility

  • HUD-VASH eligibility

  • Section 8 voucher compatibility

  • Veteran housing partnership

  • Housing Incentive Overlay zoning

  • California Density Bonus benefits

  • Strong Orange County housing demand

Future ownership may pursue multiple capital sources including Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), HUD financing, VA housing grants, California Housing and Community Development (HCD) programs, tax-exempt bonds, affordable housing financing, commercial construction loans, institutional equity, and public-private partnership financing.

How Will the Funds be Used?

Acquisition and development financing may be utilized for:

  • Property acquisition

  • Affordable housing development

  • Motel-to-apartment conversion

  • Interior renovations

  • Kitchenette installation

  • Bathroom modernization

  • Mechanical upgrades

  • Electrical improvements

  • Fire life safety systems

  • Accessibility improvements

  • Community amenity construction

  • Landscaping

  • Property management startup

  • Lease-up expenses

  • Working capital

  • Affordable housing compliance

  • Construction financing

  • LIHTC equity execution

  • HUD financing
