Carter Funds has acquired Riverstone at Owings Mills, a 324-unit community in Owings Mills, Md., for $92.9 million from Continental Realty Corporation. The property last traded in 2016, when CRC paid $61.6 million to Fairfield Residential, Yardi Matrix data shows. Christine Espenshade and Robert Garrish of Newmark represented the seller in the latest transaction.
JM Schapiro, CEO of Continental Realty Corporation, stated in prepared remarks that the company’s Fund IV investment in Riverstone and its subsequent value of the property was influenced by a combination of asset-level improvements and submarket advancement. CRC also acquired another property in the region, a 189-unit community in Alexandria, Va., for $50.1 million. The company owns 18 properties in the Baltimore market, according to Yardi Matrix data.
CRC manages a portfolio of approximately 9,000 apartment homes across 10 states, valued at more than $3.2 billion. Recently, the company, in partnership with Brown Advisory, closed a $146 million private equity fund for the acquisition of Class A multifamily assets in the Southeast region.
A community in a growing submarket
During its ownership, CRC made extensive renovations to the property, targeting both unit interiors and common areas.
