San Jose, Calif. & Portland, Ore.—Kennedy Wilson has sold two multifamily assets for a total of $154 million. The company realized net proceeds of $64 million, which will be distributed to the company and equity holders.

The properties were traded to separate buyers at an average cap rate of 4.5 percent.
Kennedy Wilson took title of 360 Residences, a luxury tower, in March 2011. The company converted the vacant and unfinished property into apartments, and then leased and stabilized the asset, which was at 97 percent occupancy at the time of sale.
“The goal was to complete and then stabilize the asset, and we took 360 from a note to an income producing apartment building in ten months,” says Robert Hart, president of Kennedy Wilson Multifamily Management Group.
According to Institutional Property Advisors, the multifamily division of Marcus & Millichap that arranged the sale, the 360 Residences transaction was the largest single asset multifamily sale to close in the Bay Area year-to-date at $118 million.
The net operating income at Arbor Creek had improved by 22 percent since 2010. Kennedy Wilson had recently completed a series of upgrades, which renovated the leasing center, clubhouse and fitness center.
