CBRE Arranges 720 Million Dollar Sale and 500 Million Dollar Acquisition Financing for Southeast Multifamily Portfolio

Charlotte – October 11, 2016 – CBRE Capital Markets has arranged the sale of the Southeast Residential Portfolio (SERP), a 24-property multifamily portfolio, to San Diego-based Strata Equity Group, Inc. for more than $720 million from an affiliate of New York-based DRA Advisors, LLC. The SERP acquisition is among the largest multifamily transactions in 2016.

CBRE Capital Markets’ Debt & Structured Finance team secured approximately $500 million of financing on behalf of Strata Equity Group for the acquisition of the portfolio. 

The SERP portfolio consists of 6,294 units in suburban locations throughout 13 metro areas in the southeast region of the United States. The properties span four states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina. 

“We are in a favorable market for sellers and buyers to transact in volume. For assets with a consistent and compelling investment thesis, sellers can achieve attractive pricing with less friction. At the same time, the scale of portfolios allows buyers to make strategic, transformative moves,” said Malcolm McComb, Vice Chairman, Institutional Properties, CBRE, who led the transaction for the seller.

“This portfolio affords us with a truly unique opportunity to scale our platform while also securing a very attractive, risk-adjusted return for our investors,” said David Michan, President of Strata Equity Group. “We believe the long-term fundamentals of the apartment sector, particularly Class B product, remain healthy; our investment in SERP reinforces that belief,” added Scott Wittman, Strata’s Director of Investments.

Bill Chiles of CBRE’s San Diego office and Robert LaChapelle of CBRE’s Atlanta office secured the aggressively priced loans for the portfolio. Strata Equity Group diversified the loan terms to match each individual asset and will be financing the portfolio with a mixture of seven- and ten-year fixed and floating rate loans provided by Freddie Mac.

“We were able to procure multiple tranches of loan structures to best fit the client’s individual asset strategy. We negotiated a portion of the portfolio under a newly-created version of the Freddie Mac Revolving Credit Facility. This facility gives Strata Equity Group more financing flexibility for certain assets, as well as an attractive vehicle for new purchases with similar business plans,” said Mr. Chiles.

The properties range in age from 1985 to 2000, with an average year built of 1996. The mix of the assets is diversified with 72 percent of the units being two and three-bedroom floor plans and a larger-than-average unit size of approximately 1,100 square feet. The portfolio offers proven performance with a long track record of rising rents and consistent occupancy. Over the last three years, net rental income has increased 12.2 percent while averaging 95.3 percent occupancy.
