Asset and Investment Summary
At acquisition, Cortland Biltmore was a recently completed class-A asset located in the Camelback submarket, which is one of the key employment centers for high-income earners in the MSA. Along with its central location and ease of access, the asset is located across the street from the Biltmore Fashion Center with dozens of restaurants, high-end shops, and department stores. Target residents would be affluent individuals who have decided to sell their high-priced homes at the peak of market, are moving in from out of state, or are the area's white-collar, highly educated professionals. Cortland’s investment team believes Cortland Biltmore is a luxury for-rent multifamily asset that likely surpasses the amenity and finish level of competing assets in the surrounding proximity at time of acquisition. The asset's closest comps are condo complexes which have units for sale for well over $1M.
Business Plan
The acquisition occurred in late 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. After taking into account the uncertainty in the market infused by Covid-19, Cortland leveraged its market knowledge acquired from the performance of its existing assets in the submarket to determine that there was likely considerable upside to acquiring this asset in absence of competition from other buyers.
Core-Plus Acquisition
Cortland Biltmore was acquired at 63% occupancy during initial lease-up, and Cortland achieved stabilization in under five months.
Community Enhancements
Given the tremendous finish level and quality of the asset's construction, Cortland could focus on high-level incremental enhancements designed to keep the asset the premier community in the area, which included adding car charging stations and a deluxe furniture package to the asset's common areas.
