Multifamily Management Inc. has acquired a two-property portfolio in Gretna, La., for $56 million. Delta Alliance Capital Management sold the 514-unit Baywood Apartments, along with the 226-unit Cedarwood Apartments. A team of Berkadia brokers negotiated the transaction on behalf of the seller.
The two properties are within three miles of one another, within the Terrytown submarket, just across the Mississippi River from downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter. Both communities are in proximity to several retailers and restaurants, as well as thoroughfares which ensure access around the metro, such as State Route 90, Wall and Lapalco boulevards.
“Baywood and Cedarwood Apartments have stabilized occupancy, providing the buyer with outstanding cash-on-cash returns and long-term upsides on IRRs. We are certain that their improvements will increase the value for both the owner and the residents,” said Gregg Cordaro, managing director at Berkadia, in a prepared statement.
