Cushman & Wakefield announced that the commercial real estate services firm has arranged the sale of four multifamily properties totaling 747 units in Alabama and Georgia. The final sale price was $67.5 million.
Craig Hey, Jimmy Adams, Tyler Averitt and Nathan Swenson of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, a joint venture between Blue Magma Residential and the Auerbach Opportunity Fund I, LP, in the transactions.
“The Southeast 747 Portfolio highlights the breadth of Cushman & Wakefield’s capabilities by executing four closings in different tranches across multiple states,” Hey said. “The portfolio garnered interest from individual and portfolio buyers across the country. The buyers are each going to execute value-add campaigns and were drawn to the growth and per unit pricing in secondary and tertiary markets within the Sunbelt.”
Peter Auerbach, Managing Partner of Auerbach Funds added “Our partnership with the Blue Magma team worked out as well as could be planned. To not only improve the value of the assets, but also lives of the tenants and the communities at large, makes our function as a steward of capital all the more rewarding. The Team at Cushman & Wakefield was organized, aggressive, and insightful, and we look forward to many more transactions with this group.”
