Western Wealth Capital completes sale of Phoenix multifamily building
March 6, 2018Divestment of Solterra on 5th Avenue nets strong investor return
North Vancouver, Canada (Mar. 6, 2018) – Western Wealth Capital (WWC), a growth-focused real estate investment company, is pleased to announce the completion of the sale of its interest in Solterra on 5th Avenue, a condominium building in the company’s Arizona portfolio.
WWC purchased 41 of 60 units in the Phoenix condominium project on Oct. 3, 2015 for $4.56 million (all figures $US). WWC has now sold the units in aggregate for $6 million – a 32% increase to acquisition price. Net of capital investments on unit improvements, WWC investors in Solterra are projected* to receive a return of approximately 35% over the investment’s 27-month term.
The sale represents the company’s 12th divestment to date. All WWC investment assets were sold above acquisition price and generated strong investor returns.
“We have been both disciplined and precise in not only identifying assets with unlocked value, but executing on our clearly articulated value-add plan again and again,” says Janet LePage, WWC Chief Executive Officer.
WWC’s investment strategy typically has a three-to-five year horizon. WWC divests either when it is accretive at the end of the time horizon, or we receive an offer that exceeds our business plan targets.
Our disciplined strategy has six stages. We acquire undervalued multi-family rental properties; carefully allocate capital to accretive improvements; optimize operations to increase the asset’s net cash flow and valuation; refinance to return equity to investors; and, when appropriate, divest.
Since its inception in 2011, WWC has acquired 40 multifamily unit buildings, representing more than 7,500 units. Our current portfolio, net of divestments, includes 28 multifamily unit rental buildings (more than 5,800 units).
WWC is the second largest multi-family owner in the Phoenix area by number of units and is currently growing its footprint in Texas.
The sale was brokered by ABI Multifamily.
*Investment return to be finalized once outstanding information (including property-level bills, as well as utility and insurance refunds) is provided post-transaction close and approved.
