Item 8.01   Other Events.

 

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Registrant”), owns a 100% interest in CCIP/3 Sandpiper, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Partnership”), which owned Sienna Bay Apartments (“Sienna Bay”), a 276-unit apartment complex located in St. Petersburg, Florida. As previously disclosed, on March 5, 2010, the Partnership sold Sienna Bay to an affiliate of DT Group Development, Inc., a California corporation (the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser is not an affiliate of the Partnership or the Registrant. The total sales price for Sienna Bay was $16,850,000.  In connection with the sale of Sienna Bay, the Partnership provided $2,500,000 in partial financing to the Purchaser (the “Seller Loan”).

 

On June 6, 2011, the Partnership received from the Purchaser $2,500,000 plus accrued interest in full satisfaction of the Seller Loan.

  

In accordance with the terms of the Registrant’s partnership agreement, the Registrant’s general partner is currently evaluating the cash requirements of the Registrant to determine what portion, if any, of the proceeds will be available to distribute to the Registrant’s limited partners.
