According to Greysteel Senior Director John Mullen, this community has tremendous value-add potential, with properties of similar age and size achieving 25 percent higher rents.
“Additionally, several units have been added to the unit count by utilizing unused storage space, which are also exempt from rent control. Those units have been able to achieve rents 36 percent higher than the Property’s in-place average, thus identifying significant unrealized rent potential,” added Mullen.
