Waterton Associates grabs a 1999-built asset in Plano, Texas; HFF arranges the sale of a $31.6 million loan secured by a trio of Michigan apartment communities; and NorthMarq secures $10 million for a North Carolina asset.
Plano, Texas—Waterton Associates has added 300 units to its portfolio with the acquisition of Sheridan Park at Spring Creek, a 1999-built asset located north of Dallas in Plano, Texas. ARA arranged the transaction on behalf of the seller. The sales price was not disclosed. Chicago-based Waterton picked up the asset through its value-add multifamily fund.
“Sheridan Park’s dynamic Plano location near so many major employment centers represented an attractive investment opportunity wherein buyers could improve unit interiors and realize rental rate increases,” says ARA’s Brian O’Boyle Jr., who, along with Brian O’Boyle Sr. and Brian Murphy led the exclusive marketing effort. “The proximity to State Farm’s new headquarters and the thousands of jobs that will be created through that relocation led to considerable excitement among potential buyers.”
The property was 93.3 percent occupied at the time of sale.
