Louisville, KY – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real estate investment and advisory firm, has acquired The Cloisters Apartments its third acquisition in the Louisville market.

 The Cloisters was once the chapel and convent for the Ursuline Academy of Immaculate Conception, and in the late 1980’s was converted to apartments and required to meet housing code requirements. 


“We are thrilled to add The Cloisters to our Louisville portfolio,” said Adam Miller, 29SC’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for the Southeast. “The property is in a great location with close proximity to downtown, NuLu, and many restaurants, local retail and other attractions that comes with those areas.”


Louisville has added more than 15,000 jobs metro-wide each year since 2014 and the growth is escalating. The city is a critical distribution center for leading logistics and manufacturing companies including UPS, Amazon, Ford Motors, GE Appliances/ Electrolux and, most recently, Google Fiber. 


“The city of Louisville is in a transitional phase as it continues to grow and attract a younger demographic,” Miller added. “The city is working with the state government to help fund the $200 million Louisville City Football Club stadium project that is expected to generate $13 million per year in tax revenue for the city.”


The transaction closed March 5. The sale price was not disclosed.

U.S. Home Flipping Increases to 11-Year High in 2017


Daren Blomquist
IRVINE, CA –— ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation’s premier property database, today released its Q4 and Year-End 2017 U.S. Home Flipping Report, which shows that 207,088 U.S. single family homes and condos were flipped in 2017, up 1 percent from the 204,167 home flips in 2016 to the highest level since 2006 — an 11-year high.

The 207,088 homes flipped in 2017 represented 5.9 percent of all single family home and condo sales during the year, up from 5.7 percent of all sales in 2016 to the highest level since 2013.

A total of 138,410 entities (individuals and institutions) flipped homes in 2017, up 4 percent from the 133,407 entities that flipped in 2016 to the highest level since 2007 — a 10-year high.

“The surge in home flipping in the last three years is built on a more fundamentally sound foundation than the flipping frenzy that we witnessed a little more than a decade ago,” said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions.

“Flippers are behaving more rationally, as evidenced by average gross flipping returns of 50 percent over the last three years compared to average gross flipping returns of just 31 percent between 2004 and 2006 — the last time we saw more than 200,000 home flips in consecutive years.

"And while financing for flippers has become more readily available in recent years, 65 percent of flippers still used cash to buy homes flipped in 2017, nearly the reverse of 2004 to 2006, when 63 percent of flippers were leveraging financing to buy.”
