Jupiter Investment Group Acquires 125 Value-Add Units in Desirable Sacramento Neighborhood

SACRAMENTO, CA - Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, announces the sale of Wedgewood, a 125-unit multifamily asset located in Sacramento, CA.

ARA’s Nate Oleson and Mark Leary, based in Sacramento and San Francisco respectively, represented the seller, a private Southern California investment group.  They had previously purchased the REO asset in December of 2010 from JP Morgan Chase for $6.1 million.  Upon acquisition, they initiated an extensive re-hab of 80 of the 125 units.

Constructed in 1970, the two-story garden style community is located in the desirable Greenhaven/Pocket neighborhood of Sacramento.

Wedgewood was acquired by San Diego, CA-based Jupiter Investments for $8 million or $64,000 per unit.  Jupiter Investments, led by Jonathan Lampitt, is a private real estate investment firm focused on the acquisition, rehabilitation and management of apartment communities.  Founded in 1993, they target properties with strong fundamentals, attractive risk/return profiles and substantial value-creation potential. Jupiter Investments was represented by Dixie Hall, Kevin Mulhern, and Rachel Parsons of CBRE.

“As a company that specializes in acquiring and rehabbing multifamily properties, the Wedgewood acquisition fit squarely into Jupiter’s investment wheelhouse, said ARA’s Nate Oleson.  He added, “They will continue the renovation process on the remaining units – 20 of which require extensive renovation - and will stabilize the asset operations. The Seller did very well on this transaction after a two-year hold period and tackling major interior renovations. This transaction marks the beginning of an upward trend in pricing in Sacramento.”

Occupancy at the time of the sale was 81%.
