ARA Executes 192-Unit Multifamily Community Sale

CORNELIUS, NC - Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, announced the sale of One Norman Square, a 192-unit apartment community located in the Charlotte MSA, and only minutes from the popular Lake Norman, in Cornelius, NC. 

ARA Charlotte, NC-based Principal Blake Okland and Dean Smith represented Nashville, TN based Carter-Haston Real Estate Services, a real estate asset and property management firm.

One Norman Square was acquired by Ramsey, NJ-based The Raia Properties, a real estate investment management and development firm focusing on institutional quality assets. Their current portfolio of 2,600 apartments consists of class A multi-family properties located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas and Colorado. 

Constructed in 1992, the asset was 95% occupied at the time of the sale.

According to ARA’s Blake Okland “One Norman Square represents an attractive discount-to-replacement-cost in one of Charlotte’s strongest growth markets.  The property was well received by the market and new ownership is sure to benefit from the exciting growth prospect expected from the entire MSA.”

The acquisition was financed through ARA’s debt platform, ARA Finance, and was funded through Fannie Mae.

One Norman Square consists of one, two and three bedroom units and offers tenants a complete amenity package including a brand new resort-style salt water pool, tennis courts, a 24-hour fitness center, car care center, business center, walking trails and gated on-site boat parking.
