HFF closes sale of first property in a seven-asset Southeast & Mid-Atlantic multi-housing portfolio


The Apartments at Blakeney, Charlotte, NC


Jason Nettles
ATLANTA, GA – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of The Apartments at Blakeney, a 295-unit multi-housing community in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

This is the first property to close in a seven-asset, Class A Southeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. multi-housing portfolio that HFF marketed on behalf of the owner, Northwood Ravin and affiliates.  

Matthew Lawton
Associated Estates Realty Corporation purchased The Apartments at Blakeney.  Associated Estates expects to close on the balance of the portfolio in stages through fourth quarter 2014.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Jason Nettles and executive managing directors Matthew Lawton and Mark Gibson.

Mark Gibson
“High-quality, well-located assets are in short supply and portfolio transactions offer institutional investors the opportunity to acquire assets that would be difficult to assemble in one-off purchases,” said Nettles. 

John Kukral
“This was a very limited offering process, with a handful of very qualified buyers competing for some of the highest quality multi-housing assets in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.”

Northwood Ravin was formed by Northwood Investors LLC and Ravin Partners LLC.  Northwood Investors is a privately-held real estate investment advisor with more than $3 billion of assets under management. 

David Ravin
Northwood Investors was founded in 2006 by John Z. Kukral.  Ravin Partners was established in 2011 by David Ravin, the former president of the Residential Division of Crosland.  Northwood Ravin develops, constructs and manages award-winning luxury multifamily communities throughout the southeast.
