Hunter's Grove Apartments, Austell, GA

  
ATLANTA, GA (Oct. 14, 2013) – Bull Realty has arranged the sale of the 200-unit Hunter’s Grove Apartments and the 144-unit Parkview Apartments, both of which are located in Austell, Ga., an Atlanta bedroom community.

Ernie Eden and Mike Terry of Bull Realty’s Apartment Group were the only brokers involved in the two transactions.

 Wilbarcol Ventures purchased the two complexes, as well as a third Austell apartment community — the 146-unit Kingsley Village Apartments — from QR Capital for just more than $16 million. The cap rate on the sale was approximately 8.3 percent.

 The buyer plans to reposition the Class B assets by improving top-line growth, effectively cross-managing staff, maintaining strong operating margins and improving the community through focused management.

H.J. Russell & Co. will manage the complexes in conjunction with Litehouse Partners.

 “The apartment-market performance in Atlanta continues to show strong growth,” Eden said. “Occupancy has increased from 90.8 percent to 92.1 percent in the last 12 months, and 3,000 units were absorbed this summer alone. Rents have increased to an average of $843 per month, an all-time high in Atlanta.”



“These properties meet the criteria that many investors are currently seeking, and we are glad to have uncovered them and helped the two parties negotiate and close,” Terry added.
