“Much of the interest we received was from foreign investors and ultimately the buyer of the property was from South America,”  adds Echarte..

“Miami-Dade, and in particular Coral Gables, continues to cement its position as a safe haven for Latin American and European capital as many foreign buyers are acquiring multi-family properties in quality locations.

Joseph P. Thomas

“As the number of Latin American-based companies who choose to make Miami their headquarters increases, it is expected that the apartment market will see even more growth and velocity.”

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL, Oct. 11, 2013 – Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has announced the sale of Carmel Apartments, a 51-unit apartment property located in North Miami Beach, FL. The asset sold for $3,150,000 representing $61,765 per unit.

Evan P. Kristol and Still Hunter III, Senior Vice President Investments, and Felipe J. Echarte and Joseph P. Thomas, Vice President Investments, all in Marcus & Millichap’s Ft. Lauderdale office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a private investor from Miami. 

Felipe J. Echarte

Kristol, Hunter, Echarte and Thomas as well as Harrison Rein, an investment associate in the Miami office, represented the buyer, a limited liability company from Miami.

“The immediate neighborhood, which is north of NE 163rd Street and west of Biscayne Boulevard in North Miami Beach, is a strong rental market due to its close proximity to Aventura and a lack of new inventory coming to the market,” says Echarte.

Joseph P. Thomas

“Because of the strong economic drivers surrounding the area, rental rates and occupancy levels in North Miami Beach should continue to rise. This particular deal is an added-value opportunity as the investor plans to renovate the units and repair the deferred maintenance items to improve the rental income and the quality of the tenant base.”

Carmel Apartments consists of two three-story buildings with a total of 51 units. The unit mix is made up of 33 one-bedroom/one-bath units and 18 two-bedroom/two-bath units.

Washington, D.C. (Oct. 10, 2013) – Today the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) announced that its Chairman, Debra W. Still, CMB, will assume leadership of the group’s charitable efforts, effective immediately. The MBA Opens Doors Foundation was established as the umbrella organization for MBA’s charitable giving platform.

MBA Opens Doors was developed as an industry association model for utilizing both expertise and resources to help individuals and families dealing with challenging situations.

The first initiative is a monthly housing payment grant program. It provides assistance to families with a critically ill or injured child, so that parents may take time away from work to spend precious moments with their children without jeopardizing their home.

To date, MBA Opens Doors has raised over $275,000 and has given 48 grants to deserving families in the Washington, D.C., metro area.

David H. Stevens

“Deb is one of the most passionate, talented, hard-working leaders in our industry and we are thrilled she has agreed to lead MBA’s charitable initiatives,” said David Stevens, MBA’s President and CEO.

 “If she brings half the leadership, passion and energy to this position that she has exemplified over the last year as MBA’s Chairman, the Opens Doors Foundation will be in great hands.”

“Being MBA Chairman for the past year has been one of the great honors of my career,” said Still. “The opportunity to serve our industry by helping homeowners and renters in need is a privilege, and I am excited by the challenge of both growing the MBA Opens Doors Foundation and broadening its reach.”

Still continued, “There are so many families across the country dealing with difficult financial situations related to caring for a critically ill or injured child.  

"Our mission, which is very much aligned with our commitment to the real estate finance industry, is to help with housing expense relief and make life just a little easier for as many of those families as we can. 

"We look forward to offering lenders and all others a new and meaningful way to experience the joy of giving.”

CrowdVested Launches in Georgia

  

ATLANTA, GA (Oct. 10, 2013) – CrowdVested, a crowdfunding platform focused on commercial real estate, officially launches today in Atlanta. CrowdVested offers real estate developers a fundamentally new way to raise capital and provides everyday people a vehicle to invest in commercial real estate deals.

Grady Thrasher

Until recently, crowdfunding has been limited to people wanting to make donations or to buy goods; it has not been possible to truly invest in a great idea and receive a share of the profits.

 CrowdVested operates under the Invest Georgia Exemption, which allows Georgia residents to crowdfund investments within the state. Georgia is one of only two states in the country that has legalized crowd investing.

 “We saw an opportunity to fill a void in the Georgia real estate market,” said Grady Thrasher, CEO of CrowdVested, who has extensive experience in business law and working with startups.

“CrowdVested offers another way for local projects to get the last chunk of financing that they need, and equally importantly, it gives investors a way to profit from real estate projects that help their communities.”

“With a minimum investment of $500, we are opening up the real estate market to all investors,” Thrasher said. “Plus, it’s a great way to build community support for a project. Real estate projects can have such a profound impact on a neighborhood, so it’s important that local people have the opportunity to get involved.”

Multifamily Lending Up 33 Percent in 2012 to $146 billion, Mortgage Bankers Association Reports

                  

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 10, 2013) — In 2012, 2,803 different multifamily lenders provided a total of $146.1 billion in new mortgages for apartment buildings with five or more units, according to a report from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). 

Jamie Woodwell

The 2012 dollar volume represents a 33 percent increase from 2011 levels.  Sixty-seven percent of the active lenders made five or fewer multifamily loans over the course of the year.

The MBA report is based on its surveys of the larger multifamily lenders and the recently released Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data that covers multifamily loans made by many smaller lenders, particularly commercial banks.

The $146 billion of multifamily mortgages originated in 2012 went to a variety of investors. 

By dollar volume, the greatest share (40 percent of the total) went to the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

  In terms of number of loans, the greatest share (80 percent) went to commercial bank, thrift and credit union portfolios.

The top five multifamily lenders in 2012 by dollar volume were JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Wells Fargo, CBRE Capital Markets, Inc., Walker & Dunlop, and Berkadia.

”In many ways we were in a golden age of multifamily finance in 2012, that to a large extent continues today,” said Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s Vice President of Commercial Real Estate Finance. 

“Low interest rates, strong property fundamentals and increasing multifamily property prices are all supporting a very favorable lending environment.  The 33 percent increase in lending volume in 2012 brought levels nearly back to where they had been in 2007.”

Median Home Prices Trending Downward as Moderation Sets into Market, According to ZipRealty

  

  

EMERYVILLE, CA, Oct. 10, 2013 – ZipRealty, Inc. (http://www.ziprealty.com) (NASDAQ: ZIPR), the nation’s most prominent online technology-powered residential real estate brokerage firm and real estate marketing solutions provider, has released its new Housing Trends Report that shows home prices are moderating nationwide.

Lanny Baker

“The fall’s cooler temps are being matched by a cooling off in the housing market’s red-hot trends, according to Lanny Baker, CEO and President of ZipRealty.

“For the month ended Sept. 15, median homes sale prices in the 24 metropolitan areas surveyed were up 14% year-over-year, compared to a nearly 16% gain one month earlier.

“Median sale prices were higher than a year ago in all cities studied, but the year to year median price increases shrank in 19 out of 24 markets. The median sale price of about $272,000 in mid-September was also about 2% lower than in mid-August 2013.”

“Further moderation in trends was evident in sold-to-list price ratios, new listings volume, pending sales volume, and days on market data for mid-September,” continued Mr. Baker.

“The median number of days on market inched up from 28 in mid-August to 30 in mid-September, though houses are still selling faster this year than last year in every city except Phoenix.”

HSA Commercial and Great Point Investors to Develop 220,000 SF Spec Industrial Project near Indianapolis

  

Rendering of planned spec 220,000-SF warehouse building in Plainfield, IN

  

Jack Shaffer

CHICAGO, IL and  INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 10, 2013) - Jack Shaffer, chairman and founder of HSA Commercial, Inc., announced today that the firm has again partnered with Boston-based Great Point Investors LLC to launch HSA’s third speculative industrial development this year.

The partnership expects to break ground this month on a new 220,000-square-foot warehouse building near Columbia Road and Ronald Reagan Parkway in Plainfield, Ind.

Robert Smietana

 Located on 13 acres immediately southwest of the Indianapolis International Airport, the new industrial building at Gateway Business Park will feature 32’ clear heights, 24 truck docks, 4 drive-in doors, 155 parking spaces and quick access to Interstate 70 with convenient connectivity to the rest of the regional interstate system.

 “There has been a lot of positive leasing activity with third-party logistics tenants in Indianapolis throughout the past couple years particularly in the Plainfield submarket,” said Robert Smietana, vice chairman and CEO of HSA Commercial.

Steve Roth

“With the supply of first-class industrial product running out and e-commerce fueling new demand for high-cube distribution centers, HSA and Great Point saw this as the perfect opportunity to start building again in Indy.”

 HSA recently reported that the firm partnered with Great Point Investors to build a 218,500-square-foot spec industrial facility at 2431 Delany Road in Waukegan, Ill. Delivery for that project is scheduled to occur in Q4 2013.

Michael Caprile

 Michael Caprile, vice chairman, and Steve Roth, executive vice president, of CBRE secured Great Point Investors for the joint venture with HSA at both Waukegan and Plainfield.

Chicago-based The PrivateBank is providing construction financing for the Gateway Business Park spec development. Fishers, Ind.-based Meyer Najem will serve as the project’s general contractor, and JRA Architects is responsible for the project design.

Cortland Partners Has Huge Q3 with Eight Acquisitions and Plans for a New Regional Office in Dallas, TX

  

Reserve at Deerwood apartments, Jacksonville, FL

ATLANTA, GA (Oct. 10, 2013) — Cortland Partners continued its strategic growth trajectory in third-quarter 2013 with eight acquisitions and the announcement of a new regional office in Dallas.

Nick Wilhelmson

Cortland Partners’ regional Community Support Center will open on Nov. 1 in Dallas, Texas.

Nick Wilhelmson, Cortland’s Director of Investments for Texas, is leading the Texas team, which includes 12 initial associates working in marketing and  training as well as construction and asset management. This office will be the hub for operations and investments for the entire region, which currently includes 12 communities.

 Further, Cortland expanded its portfolio during the third quarter by acquiring, in separate transactions, eight communities totaling 2,889 apartment homes.

Steven DeFrancis

Cortland closed the nearly $300 million in acquisitions in conjunction with a variety of lenders, including Freddie Mac, Regions Bank and Blackstone Mortgage Trust. With these investments, Cortland’s owned portfolio has grown to include more than 16,000 apartment homes.

 “The past three years have been an incredibly dynamic time for our firm,” said Steven DeFrancis, CEO of Cortland Partners.

“We have developed alliances with major institutions, deployed capital in our targeted markets on opportunities that are achieving the risk-adjusted returns we target for our investors, and have opened a regional office in Dallas.

Preserve at Deer Park apartments, Tampa, FL

“We are excited about continuing to work with our strategic partners as we continue to execute the business plan we began to implement in late 2009.”

 In the transactions, Cortland purchased the 226-unit Reserve at Deerwood in Jacksonville, Fla., the 448-unit Preserve at Deer Park in Tampa, Fla., the 444-unit Legacy at Fort Clarke in Gainesville, Fla., the 468-unit Ashley Mill in Marietta, Ga., the 304-unit Bristol Oaks in Dallas, Texas, the 240-unit Avington Park at Fossil Creek in Fort Worth, Texas, the 447-unit Audubon Village in Tampa, Fla., and the 312-unit Vizcaya in Houston, Texas.

Legacy at Fort Clarke apartments
Gainesville, FL

“We are pleased about the pace at which we have been able to deploy capital into investments that meet our return objectives,” DeFrancis said.

“We target growth in markets with strong job growth, a growing population, and sensible levels of new construction relative to job growth that we believe are creating an environment where our new apartment communities will thrive and continue to increase in value.”

 Initially formed to operate as an apartment developer, the firm began aggressively acquiring properties three years ago, after the Great Recession slammed the brakes on new multifamily construction.

Ashley Mill apartments, Marietta, GA

Relying heavily on its development DNA, Cortland seeks out communities within its targeted markets that are in areas with a limited supply of undeveloped land and that represent opportunities for the company to add value.

Through strategic upgrades and renovations to the building exteriors, unit interiors and amenities, Cortland is able to realize a finished product that is comparable to the new supply in the market, but at a discount to replacement cost. This formula helps Cortland create outsized risk-adjusted returns for its investors.

Bristol Oaks Apartments, Dallas, TX

Since 2010, the firm has used this formula to acquire close to 50 communities across the company’s footprint. In 2013, Cortland Partners has acquired more than 6,500 units, costing nearly $700 million.
