SAN FRANCISCO, CA (SEPTEMBER 2020) — Polaris Real Estate Partners, principal investors and managers of multifamily properties in the mid-western and central United States, has sold the Aero Apartments in Ft. Worth, TX. This sale is the eleventh full-cycle capital event of their current portfolio – properties acquired, improved and then sold – of 26 assets purchased since 2012. The average net return to investors for the eleven projects sold was 128.3%, or 29.3% annualized.
“At the time of purchase, Aero, formerly known as Urban Manor, was suffering from extensive deferred maintenance issues and a distressed operational history. Further, common area amenities had been neglected, contributing to a resident experience that was lacking in many of the standard conveniences. We both upgraded the property’s physical plant, replacing windows, sliding doors, balconies and wood trim throughout, added a laundry center, completely redesigned and upgraded the clubhouse and installed a resort-style pool. We also rebranded the property to change its standing in the community. These and other efforts doubled the value of the property in a little over three years, providing our investors a net return of 75%, or 24% annualized,” stated Travis Pacoe, managing general partner of Polaris Real Estate Partners.
“We are planning to complete a 1031 exchange with the proceeds, allowing our Aero investors to defer capital gains taxes while additionally providing equity in a new investment for non-trading investors who wish to join us,” general partner Ron Abta noted. “We will continue to pursue value-add opportunities that offer strong returns while monetizing gains for our investors through refinancing and sales.”
