Investment Highlights

  • Attractive Acquisition: Basis With Value-Add Upside: Acquisition at $13.5 million ($169k/unit) with total capitalization of $14.9 million, including $618,000 in planned capital improvements. Very attractive whole rent to per unit ratio.
  • Fixed-Rate Debt Supporting Strong IRR: 5.07% fixed-rate loan, 24 months interest-only, 64% LTV, supporting projected 18.2% levered IRR and 8.7% average cash-on-cash returns.
  • Experienced Sponsorship With Deep Local Execution: Miami-based Arena Capital has a 20+ year lineage and track record of 20+ and 500,000 SF of retail acquired; leadership includes institutional backgrounds at J.P. Morgan and Nomura.
  • Compelling Workforce Housing Fundamentals: The property is currently 100% occupied, with in-place rents averaging $1,861 versus market rents above $2,070. Section 8 approval further supports durable tenant demand.
  • Proven Value-Add Playbook With Strong Cash Flow In Place: Light exterior enhancements, selective unit upgrades, and professionalized management to capture below-market rents while maintaining occupancy.
  • Workforce Housing Shortage Creates Durable Demand: The local submarket faces very limited new supply, strong absorption (sub-35-day leasing velocity), and countywide workforce housing shortages.
  • Strategic Growth Platform Ready to Scale: Beyond this property, the Partners intend to expand into a portfolio of several thousand workforce housing units across Florida.
