The Lauren Ridge Complex, located in Columbia, SC,  consists of 220  luxury apartment units along with a clubhouse, pool and putting green on a 23.9 acre site. In 2008, Vision Ventures completed the acquisition of this non-performing first position loan in the amount of 18,250,000.00. The borrower was in foreclosure, the corporate guarantor was bankrupt and construction was only 85% complete. Vision stabilized the asset by finishing construction of the apartment units as well as common areas, including the clubhouse and pool. The inherited site work was one of the most challenging issue to rectify because the  majority of the underground storm water system, including areas below parking surfaces and building structures, needed major repair and/or replacement. Construction was completed in 2009.  The lease up effort was phased as each of the complex buildings were completed. Vision Ventures successfully sold the Lauren Ridge apartment complex in 2010 to the AVR Realty out of NYC.
