McCann Realty Increases Portfolio in Houston, Texas, Acquires Estancia at Shadowlake Apartments
RICHMOND, Va. and HOUSTON, July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- McCann Realty Partners, LLC ("McCann") announced the acquisition of Estancia at Shadowlake in Houston, Texas. The 324-unit, garden-style community located in the Alief/Westchase submarket of metropolitan Houston was built in 2005 and will be managed by Pegasus Residential, LLC. The acquisition was funded in part by a seven-year Freddie Mac fixed rate loan with a rate of 4.42 percent originated by Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital.
"Estancia at Shadowlake is a Class A suburban garden community in an improving Houston submarket with the immediate opportunity to increase economic occupancy and cash flow," said McCann's Chief Investment Officer Brand Inlow.
"We see Houston as a good market that is getting better every quarter from very strong in-migration and job growth. While the market will see new supply by the second half of 2012, there is very little new supply over the next 12 months," said John McCann of McCann Realty Partners. "We liked the value we saw in Estancia at Shadowlake, which we acquired well below replacement cost with attractive Freddie Mac debt and the prospect for solid rent growth."
McCann is currently seeking apartment acquisitions in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Texas. For more information, please contact Brand Inlow, Chief Investment Officer, at (804) 290-8870.
