WASHINGTON, DC—WashREIT has closed on the first tranche of its previously announced acquisition of a 2,113 unit multifamily portfolio for $461 million. The entire portfolio consists of seven suburban Class B apartment communities in Northern Virginia and Montgomery County, MD.

In this first tranche, the REIT has closed on five garden-style multifamily assets located in Northern Virginia consisting of 1,685 units for $379.1 million. They include: 205 Century Place, Alexandria, VA; 13690 Legacy Circle, Herndon, VA; 2511 Farmcrest Drive, Herndon, VA; 10519 Lariat Lane, Manassas, VA and 86 Heritage Way, NE, Leesburg, VA.

Overall the REIT is growing its Northern Virginia multifamily portfolio by 53%, according to CEO Paul T. McDermott. It now owns a total of 4,861 multifamily units in Northern Virginia and total of 5,953 units in the Washington Metro region overall.

WashREIT expects to close the second tranche of the acquisition—428 units across two apartment communities in Montgomery County, MD—during the second quarter of 2019 for $81.9 million.
