Investors Management Group Acquires 272-Unit Veridian at Sandy Springs Apartment Community in Atlanta Submarket for $43 Million

PORTLAND, OR - Investors Management Group, Inc. has purchased another multifamily community in the Atlanta Metro. The California-based real estate investment and asset management firm purchased the 272-unit Veridian at Sandy Springs Apartments for $42.9 million on January 14.

"This purchase is significant for two reasons," CEO Neil Schimmel noted. "First, it demonstrates investor confidence in Atlanta as a Sun Belt magnet at the forefront of the economic recovery. Year-over-year rent growth is well above the national average. Transaction activity may have paused early in the pandemic, but it's back in surge mode.”

"Secondly, it reflects a focus on suburban markets, which are benefitting from a fast-growing base of highly educated workers. These two trends will support outsized appreciation as the market continues moving upward."

Washington, D.C.-based StoneBridge Investments was the seller.

Mike Kemether and Travis Presnell of Cushman & Wakefield served as brokers in the transaction. Freddie Mac financing was secured through Charlie Mentzer at Capital One.

In addition to Veridian at Sandy Springs, IMG has purchased nine other multifamily communities with 2,500 units in the Atlanta region within the last seven years. These include properties in Lawrenceville, Duluth, Marietta and Buckhead.
