HPI Real Estate Fund V LLC, a real estate private equity investment fund sponsored by Hamilton Point Investments, has purchased Apartments at the Venue, a Class A, a 618-unit multifamily property in Valley, Alabama for $51 million, or $82,524 per unit.
“We buy post-2000 construction apartments in growing secondary markets for well below replacement cost,” said HPI co-founder and managing principal Matt Sharp. “It’s tough to get hurt buying high-quality 2008 construction in this market at $82,500 per door.”
Sharp noted that replacement cost is 50 percent more than Hamilton Point paid for the property. The company plans to increase cash flow and value by completing modest unit interior and common area upgrades.
Built in 2008, Apartments at the Venue is comprised of one-, two-, and three- bedroom apartments, averaging 1,068 square feet. Community amenities include three swimming pools, a fitness center, two clubhouses with business centers, detached parking garages, and two car wash centers.
The property is located in Alabama’s primary auto logistics corridor, less than 20 minutes from Kia’s manufacturing plant (3,000 jobs) and the coming Sentury Tire plant (1,000 jobs by 2019). The property is adjacent to a new 410-acre Valley Industrial Park and less than an hour and a half from Atlanta, Georgia.
