EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The offering consists of two adjacent properties – (i) Sanctuary Lofts: a unique 30-unit building that was converted from a historic church in 2014 featuring high, vaulted ceilings and stain glass windows; and (ii) The Rectory: an 8-unit building directly adjacent to Sanctuary Lofts. Floor plans at the Properties feature well designed, studio-three bedroom units with open layouts and an abundance of natural light, modern high-end unit finishes, vaulted ceilings and in-unit washers and dryers. The properties have historically operated at or above 95% occupancy, providing an investor the opportunity to focus on light value-add cosmetic enhancements and management efficiencies to systematically maximize rents across the asset.
Sanctuary Lofts and The Rectory is well positioned with attractive unit finishes and fixtures that would benefit from a unit modernization program to meet the market’s demand for luxury finishes, allowing an investor to capitalize on quantifiable rental increases achieved in comparable assets nearby.
As currently positioned, the blended average in-place rent is $1,545 - $2.39 PSF, which trails the market by more than 25%, supporting a significant mark to market opportunity for new ownership to capitalize on through new leases and renewals.
