VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - 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 Chase Arbor, a 430-unit, garden style community located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
ARA Mid-Atlantic-based Principals Drew White and Mike Marshall; and Richmond-based Broker, Wink Ewing represented the seller, Norfolk, VA-based Harbor Group International, LLC, a private real estate investment and management firm which controls a portfolio of worldwide assets valued at approximately $3.8 billion, in this transaction. The property was acquired by Los Angeles, CA-based JRK Property Holdings, LLC, an apartment, hotel, and real estate investment management firm with a combined $4.5 billion in assets under management.
Constructed in 1985, Chase Arbor is a class “B” value-add investment opportunity located in a consistently strong apartment market surrounded by many large employers. The property is situated off of South Independence Boulevard, less than two miles from Interstate 264, offering residents’ outstanding proximity to the major east-west thoroughfare that connects all of Hampton Roads and provides access to all of the area’s retail, entertainment and attractions. According to Wink Ewing, “investors are drawn to assets in central Virginia Beach, such as Chase Arbor, due to the continued development of the Town Center at Virginia Beach—one of the hottest destinations in Hampton Roads. The new owners will easily increase rents with modest unit upgrades given the property’s excellent location and above market occupancy.”
Occupancy at the time of the sale was 94%.
