By: Community Preservation Partners In 2018, CPP and their partner, L&M Development Partners, purchased the community, which had not been renovated since 2001, for $370 million and invested more than $50 million in improvements, including the installation of wireless security and solar thermal systems throughout the sprawling 49-building campus. As a result of the investment at El Rancho Verde, residents – a mix of seniors and inter-generational families – will have their affordable rents locked in for 55 years. CPP has invested more than $2 billion in affordable housing communities across the nation, but the threat in San Jose is one of the most severe due to the sharply increasing rental market, which recently has seen area rents average $3,000/month, according to Rent Jungle (https://www.rentjungle.com/ "The Bay Area can be very precarious for anyone living on a fixed income or struggling to provide for their family," said CPP President Anand Kannan (http://cpp-housing.com/ El Rancho Verde was partially constructed in 1969 with a second phase in 1972.
