TODAY’S DEALS: UDR to Enter Manhattan Market with $260.8M Acquisition

New York—UDR Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement with Witkoff Group to acquire 10 Hanover Square, a 493-home apartment community in New York’s Financial District. The purchase price of $260.8 million will be funded through the assumption of an existing $192 million fixed rate mortgage, the issuance of approximately $64.3 million of operating partnership units and approximately $4.5 million in cash. UDR anticipates that closing will occur following the assumption of the $192 million mortgage and the satisfaction of closing conditions.

“The expansion of our portfolio into Manhattan reflects our desire to own and operate apartment homes in markets that have the best growth prospects based on favorable job formation and low home affordability,” says Tom Toomey, president and chief executive officer of UDR. “With total revenue per home of $3,000 per month and only six years following the completion of a major redevelopment, the acquisition of 10 Hanover Square will further enhance the overall quality of our portfolio.”

The 23-story building is located between Water Street and Pearl Street. It was formerly the headquarters of both Goldman Sachs and Kidder Peabody prior to a 2005 renovation into a residential tower with condominium-style finishes. The building offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that average 708 square feet, and feature open floor plans, granite counter tops, maple cabinets and solid oak flooring. Amenities include a 24-concierge service, two lounges, and a rooftop deck. There is also 41,650 square feet of retail space leased to Xtreme Gym New York (where residents receive a discounted membership), Starbucks, two restaurants and an Apple Bank.
