Carroll-PGIM Real Estate Joint Venture Acquires Three Southeast Multifamily Portfolios
The three portfolio acquisitions include an eight-property, 2,883-unit multifamily portfolio located in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.
ATLANTA—A joint venture of the Carroll Organization and PGIM Real Estate have acquired three multifamily portfolios valued at nearly $600 million in North and South Carolina and Florida.
These transactions mark the fifth joint venture between PGIM Real Estate and Atlanta-based Carroll Organization since December 2017. To date, these joint ventures have spent $2 billion in acquisitions across 45 properties and approximately 15,000 units throughout Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and South Carolina. All of the assets are managed by Carroll Management Group.
The three portfolio acquisitions include an eight-property, 2,883-unit multifamily portfolio located in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area. That portfolio includes: Copper Mill in Durham; Meadows at Kildaire in Cary; Oaks at Weston in Morrisville; Spring Forest in North Raleigh; Crest at West End in Carrboro and Reserve at Lake Lynn, Walnut Creek, and Woodland Court in Raleigh.
An adjacent two-property, 480-unit multifamily portfolio located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL was also traded to the Carroll-PGIM venture. The portfolio includes Soleil at Ponte Vedra Beach and Seaglass at Ponte Vedra Beach.
The joint venture also acquired a three-property, 680-unit Class B multifamily portfolio in Charleston, SC. The portfolio includes Cooper’s Pointe Apartments, Springhouse Apartments and Hibben Ferry Apartments.
“These investments are based on our thesis that quality workforce housing is currently an underserved segment of the multifamily market, which has created a supply/demand imbalance when homeownership or new-supply rents in desirable locations may not be attainable for most Americans. The outlook for multifamily performance in the Raleigh-Durham, Jacksonville and Charleston markets remains strong going forward due to their diverse economies, business-friendly governments, job and population growth, and overall quality of life,” states M. Patrick Carroll, CEO of Carroll Organization.
“These latest portfolio acquisitions are consistent with PGIM Real Estate’s strategy to pursue workforce housing investments in well-located, pro-business metropolitan markets with a limited supply of apartments and a robust demand for affordable housing options,” states Alfonso Munk, Americas chief investment officer for PGIM Real Estate.
The Raleigh, Ponte Vedra Beach and Charleston acquisitions were led by Jim Mehalso, Atlanta-based managing director and head of Southeast Transactions at PGIM Real Estate, and Josh Champion, president and chief investment officer for Carroll Organization.
