The property, located at 1575 Clairmont Road, was built in 1989 and recently underwent major capital improvements including new roofs and renovated interiors with new appliances, cabinets, lighting and hardware. The total value of the renovations was approximately $12,000 per unit, Derrick Bloom, partner with ARA, tells GlobeSt.com.
"Lincoln at Decatur remains competitive with newer communities thanks to its many amenities and high-quality, low-maintenance construction features," says Bloom. "Strong property performance and the good physical condition of the [property] enabled McKinney to acquire an asset with solid fundamentals and additional upside potential."
Lincoln at Decatur is currently 96% occupied with average monthly rents at about $1.10 per sf. Most of the tenant base is affiliated with surrounding institutions in Decatur including the 600-acre Emory University campus, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Veterans Administration Hospital.
