First Capital Real Estate Trust to Purchase NorCal Residential Development Portfolio
First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated, a publicly registered non-traded REIT, agreed to purchase eight residential development properties in Northern California comprised of 2,026 single-family residential lots. The sellers are Evergreen Communities Inc. and La Jolla Pacific Investments LLC, two energy conscious home developers based in Roseville, California.
The master agreement provides for the acquisition of a mix of fee interest and contract rights for the properties. Closing is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016.

With the pent-up demand and surge pricing of this asset base, we feel this is an accretive investment for our shareholders,” said Suneet Singal, CEO and chairman of First Capital Real Estate Trust.
If the proposed transaction is consummated, the portfolio would be the second real property acquisition this year for First Capital.
