Biscayne Atlantic in a joint venture partnership with PointOne Holdings is pleased to announce the sale of The Oaks at Ellenwood, a 240 unit multi-family apartment community located 14 miles from the City of Atlanta in Ellenwood, GA. The property sold for $9.8 million or $40,800 per unit.

Biscayne Atlantic originally purchased the property in August 2012 out of receivership for $4.5 million or $18,750 per unit. The company invested $1.2 million in value-added capital improvements which included rebranding the property, enhancing the Property’s exterior curb appeal, renovating the leasing and community center and targeting specific interior unit upgrades.

“This deal represents another exciting success in the growth of Biscayne Atlantic” said Craig Sternberg, one of Biscayne Atlantic’ managing members. “We are pleased that we were able to turn this property around and provide both our investors as well as our residents a positive and successful outcome.”

During Biscayne Atlantic’ ownership, and with the help of Hammond Residential Group Management, occupancy at the property rose from 65 percent upon acquisition to over 93 percent at the time of sale. In addition, average rents rose more than $70 per unit during that period.

“We took the Oaks at Ellenwood from an underperforming distressed property to a model residential community in the city Ellenwood” commented David Lewin, managing member of PointOne Holdings. “It’s a great example of our ability to successfully create value by implementing a capital improvement program while aggressively building a sense community for the residents.”

In the last 12 months, Biscayne Atlantic has acquired in excess of $100 million in income producing real estate properties including residential and commercial assets. Additionally, the Company has a $51 million office portfolio under contract expected to close November 20.
