Pollack Shores Plans Second Apartment Community in Cumberland submarket after home run at The Battery Atlanta

Steven Shores

ATLANTA, GA – Multifamily developer and investment firm Pollack Shores Real Estate Group announced it closed on the land purchase for a new 281-unit apartment community in Atlanta, Georgia that will rise on the site of the former corporate headquarters for Genuine Parts Company.

The five-story development is located in the fast-growing Cumberland submarket on Herodian Way in between Circle 75 Parkway and Crescent Park Drive, and is within walking distance to The Battery Atlanta, the 1.5 million-square-foot mixed-use development anchored by SunTrust Park.

The announcement comes less than one year after Pollack Shores sold three luxury apartment communities the firm developed at The Battery Atlanta in partnership with the Atlanta Braves.

The transaction was one of the highest recorded multifamily sales in metro Atlanta, and reflects the emergence of sports stadiums as new hubs for vibrant neighborhood development in markets across the country.

“The Genuine Parts site is a prime investment opportunity that capitalizes on growing demand for Class A product fueled by the success of The Battery Atlanta and exceptional job growth in Cumberland,” said Steven Shores, CEO and President of Pollack Shores Real Estate Group.

“We will draw on our past experience at The Battery Atlanta to create another innovative and walkable community that delivers a first-class experience for residents who seek an authentic live-work-play lifestyle in one of metro Atlanta’s most exciting locations.”

Brian Oates

Residents and office workers seek the walkable, 24/7 lifestyle and amenities these unique districts offer, with The Battery’s sports-anchored blueprint now being replicated by pro sports franchises in cities such as Los Angeles, Detroit, Miami and Nashville.

“Our first development was a one-minute walk to the ballpark. This new apartment community will be a 10-minute walk from The Battery – close enough for residents to enjoy all the action at The Battery yet far enough to unplug and partake in the array of resort-like amenities,” said Brian Oates, Managing Director of Development at Pollack Shores.

“It’s an optimal location for young professionals, and represents a culmination of the experiences we’ve had throughout the past eight years in developing Class A apartment communities.”

Levin Johnston Directs $16 Million Sale of 52-Unit Multifamily Community in Almeda, CA

Adam Levin

ALAMEDA, CA – Levin Johnston of Marcus and Millichap, one of the top multifamily brokerage teams in the U.S. specializing in wealth management through commercial real estate investments, has directed the $15.95 million sale of Buena Vista Apartments, a 52-unit multifamily asset in Alameda, California.

Adam Levin, Executive Managing Director and Robert Johnston, Senior Managing Director of Levin Johnston, represented the seller, a private high net worth investor, in the transaction.

“Alameda is currently experiencing the fastest population growth in the region, making it a highly desirable investment market,” says Levin.

“The appeal of this asset is further substantiated by the city’s strong employment fundamentals and low vacancy levels – all factors that will drive high occupancy and a well-sustained renter base for years to come.

Robert Johnseton

"Drawing upon each of these strengths, our team was successful in attracting a strong pool of buyers for the property.”

Situated on 1.58 acres, Buena Vista Apartments is in close proximity to the $1 billion Alameda Point development project, which broke ground in 2018 and is expected to create more than 9,000 new jobs in the region.

“In addition to its proximity to this future waterfront development and job-generator, Buena Vista Apartments is already in a prime rental location for commuters, which contributes to the strength of the asset as an investment,” says Johnston, who notes that the property is just one mile from the Alameda Ferry Terminal, which provides direct access to San Francisco, home to major employers including Kaiser Permanente, Uber, Twitter, Lyft, Google and more.

Originally constructed in 1966 and renovated in 2018, the multifamily property consists of two parcels and offers an attractive mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom floor plans.

The newly renovated property includes on-site laundry, gated secure entrance, bike storage, barbeque and picnic areas, as well as additional storage units for tenant use.

Located at 4330-450 Buena Vista Avenue in Alameda, California, the property is in close proximity to major employers, transportation corridors, shopping, dining and entertainment options.
