TODAY’S DEALS: ABR, Chartwell Holdings Buy 384-Units in Charlotte
Alex. Brown Realty and Chartwell complete a value-add buy in N.C.; Peak Capital Partners acquires a 216-unit community in Albuquerque; and Alliant Capital closes on a $1 million refinance loan.
Charlotte, N.C.—A joint venture owned by Alex. Brown Realty Inc. and Chartwell Holdings has acquired Arbor Trace Apartments, a 384-unit Class B community located in the Steele Creek area of Charlotte. ABR Chesapeake Fund IV, a value-add real estate fund sponsored by ABR, invested $7.1 million into the newly formed venture.
The 2003-built community is located off South Tryon Street, and includes 16 three-story garden-style buildings and a clubhouse. The joint venture will rebrand the community Arbor Steele Creek apartments and invest $950,000 into exterior and interior capital improvements.
“We see Arbor Steele Creek as a great opportunity to reposition a well-located property,” says Todd Abedon, co-founder and principal of Chartwell. “Operating fundamentals in the submarket were very strong at year-end and we anticipate fundamentals will continue to improve given limited new supply in the pipeline.”
This is the second joint venture between the two parties. As part of the acquisition, ABR and Chartwell were required to assume the existing loan.
