United Dominion Takes 264-Unit Multifamily

TOWSON, MD-New Boston is selling the income-rich building because an unfavorable loan on it came up for prepayment.

TOWSON, MD-New Boston Fund is selling a 264-unit multifamily in the Baltimore suburb to United Dominion Realty for an undisclosed price. Phillip Bakalchuk, SVP of acquisitions for the Boston-based seller, tells GlobeSt.com that it acquired Dulaney Crescent Apartments in 2004 and has since realized a 28% to 29% annual internal rate of return.

The primary reason New Boston Fund is selling the property, he adds, is that an “unfavorable” loan that transferred with the property, when it was acquired in 2004, had come up for prepayment. That, coupled with the emergence of new supply in the neighborhood and submarket, prompted New Boston to put it on the market. “It was the timing of the loan that really drove the property sales strategy,” Bakalchuk says. “Otherwise we would have held onto it for longer, as it was doing very well for us. It was one of our better acquisitions.”

A class A, four-story single building with a six-story 454-car garage, Dulaney Crescent Apartments is home to mainly ‘move-down buyers’– that is, adults who have sold their homes to move back into low-maintenance apartments. This group could afford the increases in rent New Boston put in place after it acquired the building, Bakalchuk says.
