New York City-based Lincoln Avenue Capital has purchased a 392-unit multifamily property in Camden, NJ, for $34.45 million.
The deal works out at just under $88,000 per unit, according to the Marcus & Millichap team which represented the seller, Brick, N.J.-based Tryko Partners.
The asset was purchased free and clear of debt by an affiliate of the Bronfman familyʼs Lincoln Avenue Capital, an owner and developer of low-income housing properties nationwide.
“The property was part of the RAD (Rental Assistance Demonstration) program and received a new 20-year subsidy contract,” said Andrew Townsend, the Marcus & Millichap specialist who worked the deal with Ridge MacLaren, and Clarke Talone, all based in the firm’s Philadelphia office.
“The seller recently upgraded the flooring, windows, roofs, and boilers throughout the property, which made the asset attractive and a great long-term investment.”
After purchasing Crestbury Apartments in 2013, Tryko Partners invested $3.6 million in capital improvements. This included the incorporation of a high-tech security initiative in conjunction with the
Camden Police Department; a playground; updated lighting, landscaping and sidewalks.
“We are seeing a tremendous amount of interest in well-maintained, workforce housing both market-rate and affordable in South Jersey due to solid economic drivers and its proximity to Philadelphia,” added MacLaren.
The apartments are a mixture of one- and two-bedroom units. The Crestbury is situated on over 18 acres at 2552 South 8th Street in Camden, New Jersey.
