SLIDELL, La., Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Carter Multifamily announced today that it acquired Pelican Pointe Apartments ("Pelican Pointe"), a 266-unit Class B apartment community located in Slidell, Louisiana, just 30 miles northeast of downtown New Orleans.
Nestled on the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Slidell is in St. Tammany Parish, a desirable and high-growth suburban submarket which ranks amongst the top 10 Louisiana school districts for K-12th grade. Slidell offers residents small-city bustle with a plethora of tranquil nature parks and outdoor recreational activity areas.
Built in 2000, Pelican Pointe is comprised of twenty-two three-story residential buildings, a two-story clubhouse/office building, and a maintenance building. Pelican Pointe was purchased by Carter Multifamily for $28.6 million on October 12, 2018, and offers affordably priced 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartment units.

"Easily accessible from New Orleans and minutes from Slidell's largest employers, Pelican Pointe offers high-quality, affordable rental housing to the residents of this flourishing area."
Carter Multifamily intends to commence renovations to modernize the property including flooring, appliance, and lighting updates in units as well as enhancements to building exteriors and common areas.
