 Beaverton, OR Next Wave Investors, LLC (“Next Wave”), a private equity firm focused on value-add multifamily investments, has acquired two multifamily assets in the Portland metro submarket of Beaverton, Oregon for a total of $30.5 million:

 The Huntley, a 62-unit community at 12310 SW Center Street and Parker Apartments, a 48-unit community at 17135 SW Heritage Court.

at 17135 SW Heritage Court, Beaverton, OR

The Huntley was purchased for $18 million and has nine remaining unrenovated units offering the opportunity to create value through premium-level finishes.

 Parker Apartments, which is located approximately three miles from The Huntley, was acquired for $12.5 million and features 12 classic units that Next Wave will modernize.

 The assets are aligned with the firm’s strategy of acquiring multifamily communities in secondary markets poised to benefit from strong area fundamentals and property-level improvements, according to Jordan Fisher, Principal at Next Wave.

 

Jordan Fisher

“The Huntley and Parker are well positioned to capitalize on the growing population and robust employment opportunities provided by the greater Portland metro area,” says Fisher.

 “The Beaverton submarket, in particular, is expected to see average annual rent growth of 7.39% through 2024, as it offers attractive suburban living in close proximity to the urban core.

 "Beaverton is also home to the Nike World Headquarters, which recently opened additional facilities, and will provide opportunistic job prospects for many young professionals.

 "Additionally, Intel is set out to build a $700 million data center, or ‘mega lab,’ in neighboring Hillsboro.”

 

David Sloan

 David Sloan, Principal at Next Wave, adds: “These acquisitions come on the heels of the addition of 492 multifamily units to our Pacific Northwest portfolio last year, exemplifying our expansion into high-growth submarkets in areas like the Portland Metro, where a booming culinary and active outdoor culture continues to attract renters drawn to a high quality of life at lower costs than other West Coast markets.”

CBRE Predicts Lodging Market Should Recover Fully by 2023: Drive-to and Leisure Hotels Continue to Perform Best

 

Rachael Rothman


 
Dallas, TX, May 31, 2022 – CBRE is raising its forecasts of hotel performance for 2022 and beyond, based on Q1 2022 strength, continued slowing of construction activity, higher inflation and continued optimism about employment and economic growth.

 CBRE’s forecasts call for a full recovery in average daily rate (ADR) in 2022 and in demand and revenue per available room (RevPAR) in 2023.  

 


Despite headwinds from the Omicron variant, Q1 RevPAR reached $72.20, up 61 percent from year earlier. RevPAR growth was driven by a 39 percent increase in ADR)and a 16 percent increase in occupancy.

 “To date, there has been no sign that the more than 50 percent increase in gas prices and the stock market’s hovering near bear-market territory are dampening hotel demand,” said Rachael Rothman, CBRE’s Head of Hotel Research & Data Analytics.

 “However, in the past, a steep decline in the S&P 500 and high gas prices have often caused RevPAR growth to decline, which raises the specter of a pullback in RevPAR later this year.

 


 “Despite this possibility, our outlook remains that the market will continue to recover.”
