TODAY’S DEALS: HFF Closes $42.8M Atlanta Sale
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler closes a 301-unit apartment sale in Atlanta; Marcus & Millichap sells an 84-unit assisted living facility in Louisiana; and Hendricks & Partners Brokers sale of townhomes at 5.13% cap.
Atlanta, Ga.—Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP has closed the sale of a 301-unit, Class AA apartment community in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. HFF marketed the property, 660 Apartments, on behalf of Southeast Capital Partners and the Integral Group. AMLI Residential Properties Trust purchased the asset for $42,750,000 in an all-cash transaction. The price translates to $142,000 per unit.
“Institutional interest in Atlanta has increased over the past 12 months as fundamentals have improved,” says Jason Nettles, senior marketing director at HFF who led the team with director Megan Thompson. “While we may not see trades at 25 percent over replacement cost like we’re seeing in the gateway markets, Atlanta is clearly moving over the replacement cost benchmark.”
660 Apartments was completed in 2009 and was named “2010 Best New Development” by MHN and a “2010 Gold Medal Winner” by Building of America. The urban-core asset is a submarket leader in effective rental rates due to its design and location adjacent to Historic Old Fourth ward Park, a new 35-acre recreational facility.
“We feel humbled to have identified a mutually beneficial transaction between two of the most well-respected firms in the senior housing industry,” says Ben Firestone, who represented both the buyer and seller of the transaction alongside Jacob Gehl, also from Marcus & Millichap. “It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to continue to provide advisory services to such professionals at the respective organizations.”
Constructed in 1988, the Wynwood of Mandeville on 6.32 acres of landscaped land with views of the Lake Ponchetrain Causeway, the bridge that connects New Orleans to the rest of the state. The property was approximately 93 percent occupied at the time of sale.
