WASHINGTON, DC-Federal Capital Partners and Angelo, Gordon & Co., a New York City-based real estate investment fund, have sold three properties from a five-asset, 3,600-unit multifamily portfolio to a West Coast investor and recapitalized the two remaining properties for a total transaction value of $405 million. FCP and Angelo have retained the other two assets in the Maryland-based pool and recapitalized them in a JV with a new overseas-based equity partner.
FCP Partner Lacy Rice declined to discuss the sales price of the three properties or the financial details of the recapitalization, citing confidentiality with its new JV partner. He did tell GlobeSt.com, though, that the properties were recapitalized by assuming and expanding a 10-year, IO Freddie Mac loan.
The companies plan to spend the proceeds from the sale and recapitalization on the continued repositioning of the two remaining properties and additional acquisitions in the multifamily, office and industrial sector.
"The balance of our portfolio is still in the repositioning process," Rice says. "As the assets reach stabilization, we will look at exit opportunities. Now is a great time to be a seller in this market, as with aggressive lending cap rates continue to fall."
The three properties that have been sold are Seasons of Bel Air in Bel Air, Cooper's Crossing in Landover Hills and Henson Creek in Forestville--all of which, according to Rice, have been successfully repositioned and stabilized.
Seasons at Bel Air was built in phases between 1971 and 1982. Located near the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, the 732-unit garden style apartment community underwent a $1.5-million renovation program that included building entry refurbishment, landscaping, in-unit upgrades and systems improvements.
A 727-unit garden style apartment complex originally built in 1966, Cooper's Crossing received $7.5 million in renovations. These included a new clubhouse and leasing center, new swimming pool, upgraded landscaping, kitchen and bath renovations, building entry renovations and plumbing and mechanical system upgrades.
Henson Creek is a 450-unit garden style apartment community. Originally built in 1965, FCP invested $4.5 million to give it a new community signage package, facade work, redeveloped recreation center and pool along with new windows, paving, and kitchen and bath renovations.
Bill Roohan, Mike Muldowney and Andy Boyer of the CB Richard Ellis' Washington-Baltimore Multi-Housing Group represented the sellers.
