LAKEWOOD GREENS APARTMENTS

Background

  • Purchased property in 2014
  • Property is close to White Rock Lake, a 1,000-acre lake with 9 miles of hiking and biking trails as well as picnicking, fishing, and dog playing areas
  • Bordered on two sides by Tenison Park golf course
  • Complex provides direct access to the Santa Fe Trail, a popular bike trail that leads to White Rock Lake

Investment Strategy and Process

  • Assumed Freddie Mac fixed-rate loan with 8 years of term remaining
  • Originated supplemental loan through Freddie Mac to match term of first mortgage and bring total leverage to approximately 70%
  • Following successful Vieux Coulee strategy, AHC intends to implement a bike and kayak rental program to capitalize on the property’s adjacency to the Santa Fe Trail and White Rock Lake, to appeal to active tenants

Exit Strategy

  • Sell in 2.5 to 4 years to private equity group or small institution
  • Sell after common-area improvements are finished, an in-unit upgrade program is completed for a portion of the units, and rate of growth in rent increases begins to slow  

AHC Advantage

Lakewood Greens demonstrates AHC’s rigorous local market analysis prior to investment. The complex enjoys a convenient location with easy access to downtown, Uptown and recreational areas. Situated in an improving neighborhood, it is well-positioned to accommodate demand from renters priced out of nearby Class A offerings.
