ALEXANDRIA, VA–Passco Cos., a privately-held real estate investor that is based in Irvine, Calif., has made its second acquisition in the Washington, DC area: The Parker, a 360-unit apartment building for $112.75 million.
The seller is a joint partnership between AEW Capital Management, on behalf of one of its closed-end funds, and MRP Realty.
The Parker is located at the Huntington Metro Station at 2550 Huntington Ave., and is also a 10-minute walk from the Patent & Trademark Office. “Based on its unparalleled location and the lack of competition, The Parker is ideally positioned to increase in value based on the growing demand for multifamily residences in the area,” says Gary Goodman, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions at Passco, in a prepared statement.
“Fairfax County, and the city of Alexandria, both provide ideal multifamily market fundamentals,” he says.
The Parker was 92% occupied at the time it was purchased.
This is Passco's second acquisition in the Washington DC metro area. In 2016, the firm acquired The Shelby, a 240-unit multifamily community, for $69.5 million.
It too is located close — but not as close as The Parker — to the Huntington metro stop.
Goodman says Passco plans to acquire more assets here in the coming months. “The Washington D.C. metro is a region that is well-aligned with our ongoing strategy to acquire quality assets in strong growth markets,” he says.
Chris Black and Caleb Marten of KeyBank Real Estate Capital's Commercial Mortgage Group arranged acquisition financing for Passco through Fannie Mae.
