Tony’s Blog I’ll freely admit that I’m nerd when it comes to technology and one could easily make that assumption when you walk into my Riviera office where we have several terminals set up with the latest Apple computers amongst other techy toys. Whereas there is a level of acceptance with my inner McFly, I am rather embarrassed about how excited I get when a new iPhone is released. If you’ve ever had a chance to watch an Apple keynote (and I don’t suppose many of you do..), viewers are witness to an extremely methodical yet simplistic message by the world’s largest company. Although smart phones have the ability to be extremely intimidating, Apple delivers the message by exploiting the emotion of users and the ultimately the movement of a society. Playing on emotions can be easily construed as a taboo way to conduct advertising however if you’ve ever heard the reaction a Buyer or Seller makes when they’ve got the news about their deal, you’re soon to realize it all about emotions.

In the 1950’s, Edward Zuckerman, with a partner, purchased a sloping 150 acre garbanzo bean field rising up from the cliffs of the ocean on the Palos Verdes Peninsula adjacent to San Pedro. In 1970, Ken Zuckerman’s father had tried to build on his farmland 1,200 apartment units, a 200-room resort hotel, and a nine-hole golf course. This massive planned development prompted the formation of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The new government placed a moratorium on development, then downzoned the Zuckerman’s property to require that all new homes be built on one-acre lots. Based on these restrictions, it didn’t make sense to build, so the Zuckerman’s sat on their property until 1989, when Ed Zuckerman’s sons, Ken and Bob, with a partner, formed a joint venture for an additional 100 acres from developer Barry Hon to accumulate a total of approx. 260 acres, with close to two miles of ocean frontage. The Zuckerman family spent years working with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and various environmental groups to create a plan which would provide native sagebrush habitat for a rare bird, the California gnat-catcher. The plan was initially approved in 1994, however construction was delayed by years of lawsuits by environmental groups. The Zuckerman brothers created a new limited partnership in 1997, buying out Barry Hon. Development of the Ocean Trails Golf Course finally began in 1998. Ultimately, out of the Zuckerman’s 260 acres, 75 were devoted to 75 home sites. The golf course is built on 100 acres (compared with 150 for a typical course), but 20 of those were required to be covered with regrown sagebrush. 105 acres were reserved for sagebrush, public parks, or pathways. Unfortunately, on June 2, 1999, just before its scheduled July 2nd opening, a large portion (approx. 17 acres) of the cliff-top 18th fairway slipped towards the ocean creating a huge chasm. The project, which had been originally budgeted for $126 million, required another $61 million to repair the land slide damage (paid for by insurance proceeds). For months, the course operated on a temporary basis as a 15 hole course.

The property was then tied up in various lawsuits, including a claim by Zuckerman that a water line running under the property had burst, causing the land slide, however another potential cause was discovered, that an ancient landslide, previously undetected, may have been the cause of the land slide. Ultimately, the Zuckerman’s were forced to declare bankruptcy, and the property was taken over by Credit Suisse , the lender on the property, in February 2002. In August 2002, Donald Trump acquired the Ocean Trails project for a reported $27 million. Subsequently, Trump made substantial improvements. The course finally opened as an 18 hole course on January 20, 2006. Including the money Trump has invested in the course and the original investment by the Zuckerman family, the project has expended in excess of a reported $300 million, clearly making the course the most expensive golf course ever constructed. www.southbayhistory.com

giovanni altamura south bay brokers
WRIT TEN BY HEI DI WALTER Giovanni Altamura graduated from the University of Southern California in the spring of 2007 and since then has been working with his father, John Altamura, in the family’s real estate business. An avid fan of sports, which he says brings out the best in people, he’s always been active and competitive. “At USC,” he says, “I was a four-year letterman and captain of the men’s volleyball team. Being the captain of those teams taught me the dedication, leadership, and communication skills that I have continued to use in my business life at South Bay Brokers.” A lifelong resident of Manhattan Beach, Giovanni Altamura has attended all of the celebrated public schools in this affluent community including as Pacific Elementary, Manhattan Beach Intermediate and Mira Costa High School. As such, he has a vast experience to draw upon when making local Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach real estate decisions. “Since starting my Real Estate career with South Bay Brokers in 2007, I have been fortunate enough to see the market in all of its stages, from the peak in 2007 to the bottom in 2008-09. I understand what ‘real value’ is in today’s market. I look forward to using that experience and knowledge for my future business.” His father began in real estate in the South Bay in 1986, and Giovanni followed in his dad’s footsteps. “My real estate interest was sparked back in my sophomore year of high school,” he remembers. “I saw how much fun he had working in the town he lived in, all of the people he met and became friends with and the great stories he would tell me about clients he helped.” Giovanni Altamura cites the beach, the restaurants, the friendly neighbors and great people as some of the aspects of the beach cities that draw so many homeowners. “We are a short distance to LA, the desert, mountains and LAX,” Giovanni lists. “This is an outdoor community where you are always seeing people enjoy being outside doing various activities such as surfing, riding your bike along the Strand, jogging on the Green Belt and swimming in the ocean.” When asked what the current micro-trends in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach real estate, Giovanni describes a lack of inventory, surplus of buyers, multiple offers and all-cash buyers. “Properties are selling within two weeks and in all price ranges. In addition, spec-build new construction is popping up over town and pre selling - a true testament to the stability of this market here in Manhattan and Hermosa Beach.” Giovanni is excited about his growing clientele and new listings. His new Tree Section construction will be on the market just as summer officially ends. The plantation-style home is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathrooms at $2,749,000. “I also have a gorgeous Hill Section lease available,” he says. “4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms all on one level with a large bonus room and big ocean views.” Giovanni is also building 12 town-home style units in El Segundo which will be available in the summer of 2014. While we know inventory is tight and home values are going up, Giovanni lends his expertise to this audience by letting us know that the most important thing people planning on purchasing or selling property in the beach cities should know is that the market moves very quickly. “You have to be aware most properties could have multiple offers, and some going over the list price. Having said that, it is crucial to be pre-approved with a lender. That’s half of the transaction right there!”

its earliest days, visitors would flock from all over the world to visit the marina, while photographers and painters immortalized it time and again in their artistic odes to Southern California. In 1956, the King Harbor Marina, named after California Representative Cecil R. King, was built. The wooden Monstad Pier, built by Captain Hans C. Monstad to accommodate new shoreline tourist industries like pleasure-boating, soon followed. The current pier construction was last renovated in 1995, but the reinforced concrete structure is in the process of undergoing a massive and complete transformation to accommodate a 21st Century Redondo Beach and its energetic local economy. The new designs from developer CenterCal include a posh new Shade boutique hotel, a high-end movie theater, successful and popular chain restaurants, and an improved two-lane road connecting Torrance Boulevard to Harbor Drive to facilitate bike and foot traffic. New open spaces with wider sidewalks and a new boardwalk would replace the current Seaside Lagoon with a free, accessible beach, encouraging visitors to stay longer
The current lease structure for existing tenants includes percentage rents paid in addition to minimum base rents. This significant potential income will increase as the major Pier renovations boost local economic conditions, property values, and draw tourists and locals eager to enjoy the upgraded Pier’s new stores, walkways, architecture, and dining.
DETAILS The Monstad Pier property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Southern California waterfront asset with historical and cultural significance. The area is on the brink of an economic boom due to the renovation of King Harbor and the Redondo Beach Waterfront, making The Monstad Pier property an ideal investment. The owner/ user restaurant prospect in a prime waterfront location on a historic pier is almost unprecedented in the current beach cities real estate market.

WHERE IS THE MARKET GOING? LOCAL LENDING EXPERTS OPINIONS
Manhattan Beach – 2013 certainly has seen some great things happen in the real estate market for both buyers and sellers here in South Bay. With interest rates at historical lows, combined with the recent price drops from 2008, affordability for buyers is at an all-time high. Sellers have seen their properties appreciate as much as 20% over the past year due to the shortage of available homes. Everyone wants to know what’s next! Ed Kaminsky of the Kaminsky Real Estate Group in Manhattan Beach sat down with two of best loan officers in the South Bay to hear their perspectives on the current and future of the real estate market: Ron Goodlin from Bank of Manhattan, a local bank and lender, and Gary May from Wells Fargo, a local lender from a National Bank.
KAMINSKY How do you think the current interest market will affect the future of the local real estate market? MAY The local market is such a micro-climate that it is not as affected as the larger Los Angeles market by interest rates, mainly because the loans in the South Bay are typically out of the conforming limits and those interest rates are more stable. Those loans, being larger, are typically more stable and less risky for banks and therefore rates don’t move quite as much and have less impact on the expensive areas of town. KAMINSKY You mentioned that there was going to be a large layoff at Wells Fargo Bank; is that a sign of things to come? MAY Wells Fargo did give notice to approximately 2300 employees; most of them are in the

clients do not have the workload they once had. Those like me, that focus on new loans for buyers, have a more stable position at the bank.

KAMINSKY What is your opinion on whether a buyer should buy or not buy at this time?

they are very high-quality buyers with ample assets, credit , down payment and income. It is very likely an investment company would and could step up to purchase this type of “paper”.

IT MAY TAKE A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD, but it took a child to get Manhattan Beach architect Stephen Jones to trade an ocean view for a yard. Shortly after finishing his Master of Architecture degree at UCLA, Jones and his girlfriend (now wife) moved into a tiny apartment on the Strand, where the couple fell in love with Manhattan Beach and the coastal lifestyle.

I lived up by Peninsula High School at the time and would bike all the way to Manhattan Beach. What was going through your mind the first time you caught a big wave? It was such a special day.
