ATLANTA, GA - A joint venture between PCCP, Irinda Capital Management, and Lyon Living announced that it has acquired AMLI at North Briarcliff, a 97 percent occupied, 537-unit, Class A multifamily community located in the Briarcliff submarket of Atlanta, Georgia for $73.5 million. The seller was AMLI Residential.
Located 20.7 acres at 2500 Shallowford Road, AMLI at North Briarcliff was built in two phases in 2002 and 2006 and is comprised of seven three- and four-story garden-style walk-up buildings and one five-story elevator building. The unit mix includes 58 studio, 244 one-bedroom, 232 two-bedroom, and three three-bedroom units. The property’s amenities include gated access points, a clubhouse/leasing center, on-site carwash, three swimming pools and two fitness centers.
Ryan Millsap, CEO of Irinda Capital Management noted: “We feel great about buying a beautiful and well-maintained asset from a great operator like AMLI. This asset is ready for significant capital improvements and we believe AMLI’s strong tenant base will welcome the upgrades our team will bring to the community.”
“AMLI at North Briarcliff presented this joint venture with an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained apartment community in a strong Atlanta submarket that offered a favorable upside potential through unit and common area upgrades and bringing rents up to market rates,” said John Randall, managing director with PCCP. “This is PCCP’s fifth investment with these experienced owners and operators of multifamily product, and we are confident this venture will continue our successful track record.”
Randall added that upgrades to the interior units include the addition of high-end appliances, granite countertops, adding in-unit washer/dryers, new wood plank flooring and new fixtures. Planned common area improvements include lighting upgrades, a complete redesign of the clubhouse, and doubling the size of the primary fitness center.
The asset is situated in Briarcliff, a northeast Atlanta submarket that lies inside the I-285 perimeter and benefits from being within a seven-mile radius from employment concentrations including Buckhead, Central Perimeter, Midtown, Emory, and Pill Hill. The property is also directly adjacent to a Publix-anchored retail center that includes a coffee shop, restaurants, a UPS Store, dry cleaner and a beauty store.
